A stupid--but fun, regardless--movie, 13 March 2004
10/10
Author: Lucyinthesky72 from Manitoba, Canada

Sure this movie is pretty stupid, and so are the Spice Girls, but really, there is no way it's as bad as the Lizzie Maguire movie, What a Girl wants, and the list goes on. Sure its kinda ridiculous and unrealistic, but its made for tween girls. And even if you aren't one, its a fun thing to watch. Especially if you used to like them (oh come on, don't deny it--practically every girl did around 1997)it's a pretty strange experience, always thinking "Oh my god, what the heck was I thinking????" And this movie doesn't get boring...just a bit embarrassingly bad. It was pretty amusing for me to think back to how much STUFF they had--they weren't a band, they were a merchandising chain!! But, all things considered, I give it:

5/10
