Spice World


Film Appreciation

When I was a sophomore in college, it seems as if the Spice Girls were everywhere.

Soon after the release of their debut studio album, Spice, the Spice Girls (Baby Spice, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Addams) starred in the lighthearted musical comedy, Spice World.

Considered a ripoff of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night (1964), the 1997 film depicts fictional events the Spice Girls encounter leading up to a major concert. Some iconic actors appear in the film such as Roger Moore, Meat Loaf, Bob Hoskins, and Elvis Costello, which makes watching the film entertaining.

Despite negative reviews, the film was a box office success.
