Critic Reviews

  • Heather Boerner, Common Sense Media

    Loony mockumentary captures Spice Girl fever.

  • Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com

    This movie wasn't so much written as dripped. It's a fine waste of time for nine-year-olds.

  • Bill Gibron, DVDTalk.com

    While not the worst case of crass cross over promotion perpetrated by a chart-topper (From Justin to Kelly? Hello?) Spice World is one dull, superficial struggle.

  • Jesse Hassenger, Filmcritic.com

    probably a coin-toss victory against a Spice Babies Saturday morning cartoon

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    Spice World works because it has the foresight to play with the manufactured-ness of the group, and of the movie itself.

    Obviously, "Spice World" is a deplorable film, but as a time capsule we can use to return to a time when they thought it was ok to make a feature film starring a popular all girl pop band, it works wonders! The film is just so, flat out, strange that you simply marvel at the… More
