Memories

spice up your life!

When i was about 7 or 8 i LOVED the Spice Girls! I went to see them in concert, had loads of merchandise and all their Cd's! I was so excited about the movie coming out, i cant remember my initial thoughts on it but i have always thought it was a funny movie. I think the plot was good although parts i didn't get such as the guy who wants to make a movie of the spice girls and the creepy photographer. Overall the film gives off a feel good image and a let your hair down one. The spice girls different personalities make it good viewing too. I think at times the movie tried to be too serious forgetting the fact that some of the story lines were a bit too silly and that the spice girls aren't professional actors. However the funnier and less strained scenes were brilliant such as the bits at the old house and the photo-shoot. Now being nearly 18 i am well out of the movies original target audience, although i was when it was released! So now being older i can pick up on things that are not good but that doesn't take away my initial love of the movie. Also people seem to be dissing the spice girls on here, for them i will say this they were and still are one of if not the biggest girl band of all time, their songs are catchy and original and they were a strong young women who made valuable contributions to music!!!
