Spice World
The Spice Girls made a musical comedy. Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Mel C (Sporty Spice) and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) - in a nod to the Beatle's A Hard Day's Night - zip around London in preparation of a major concert at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressWill delight the Fab Five's pre-pubescent fans, recall fond memories of the '60s to those who actually lived through them, and be forgotten within six months.
Time Out
pressSpiers' pseudo-documentary bubble-and-squeak allows the girls to dress up, dress down, change identities, ride around in a Union Jack bus, rub shoulders with a large cameo cast, and indulge in vacuous banter. Help!
Roger Ebert
pressObviously intended as a ripoff of A Hard Day's Night, which gave the Beatles to the movies. They should have ripped off more -- everything they could get their hands on.
Los Angeles Times
pressA movie about four months too late to endure in the pop-culture annals and about four stars too short to be a four-star movie.
Empire Magazine
pressAttempting to embellish the Spice Girls with the lightly fantastical-cum-satirical Beatles-movie vibe, Bob Spiers manages only to lamely reiterate that the only phenomena hereabouts is one of packaging.
