"When it comes to unapologetic pop-culture time capsules, Spice World is a glittering gem of the 1990s. Directed by Bob Spiers and starring the global phenomenon Spice Girls, the film is an exuberant romp that is equal parts ridiculous and irresistibly charming. It’s a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously—and neither should its viewers.
The plot—or what passes for one—follows the Spice Girls during a whirlwind few days leading up to a big concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Along the way, they face wacky challenges, from a maniacal tabloid journalist (played with campy glee by Richard E. Grant) to bizarre interludes with aliens and a bus that somehow defies the laws of physics. The story is essentially a string of loosely connected sketches, musical numbers, and absurdist humor.
What makes Spice World work is the sheer energy and charisma of its stars. Each Spice Girl—Sporty (Mel C), Scary (Mel B), Baby (Emma Bunton), Ginger (Geri Halliwell), and Posh (Victoria Beckham)—plays an exaggerated version of her public persona. Their chemistry is palpable, and they exude a self-aware playfulness that invites the audience to join in on the fun.
For fans of the Spice Girls, this movie is pure nostalgia, offering a peek into the height of their fame. For newcomers, it might feel like a bizarre fever dream—but one that’s undeniably entertaining if you’re willing to embrace its quirks. In the end, Spice World is not a cinematic masterpiece, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a celebration of girl power, friendship, and unabashed fun. Whether you find it cringe-worthy or charming largely depends on your willingness to go along for the ride.
