Spice World

DIRECTED BY: Bob Spiers

REVIEWED: 02-09-98

Some physicists theorize that there are countless universes in existence. If this is so, then surely the spice girls are at the center of one of them--it just may not be your particular universe. When I saw a matinee of Spice World, the audience was comprised of pre-pubescent girls and lone, adult males with raincoats draped across their laps. Even if you don't fall into one of these groups, you may want to check out Spice World just to see what all the hype is about. The spice girls are five British Barbie dolls who sing, sort of, and change their clothes a lot, definitely. In this movie, they face episodes of slight ajeopardy and overcome them easily, all the while spouting off about "girl power," which appears to be the power to wear tiny dresses in cold weather with no adverse effects. "We're strength and courage in a Wonderbra!" declares brainy Ginger Spice. Who has the heart to tell her she's wrong?
