SPICEWORLD
by Todd
The Spice Girls new instant classic movie "Spiceworld" is as a line in
the movie goes "Absolutely perfect for not being any good." The movie
tried to be a estrogen-charged version of the Beatles classic "A Hard
Day's night" by following the lives of the girls over a 5 day period
going through all their trials and tribulations. What surprised me
about this movie and at the same time bothered me was the girls' way of
mocking themselves. There were many clever lines slipped in about the
British tabloids, the kitchiness of the girls themselves, and the famed
Girl-power. I think if the movie would have been allowed to just been
written as a satirical send-up of the girls it would have been great.
Unfortunately for all the 10 year-old girls in the audience, The writers
had to throw in too many lame gags and jokes for.....well a 10 year old.
But then again I mean come on, what were you expecting?
