An open and candid evening with the Spice Girls

Ever since they burst into worldwide consciousness a mere two years ago, the Spice Girls have been the object of both love and loathing.

‘Spice World’ brainless and threadbare

It wasn’t enough that they had deceived millions of people into buying their albums. The Spice Girls want more money — and what better, faster and cheaper way than to have someone take a handicam and point it at them as they wobble around in their hideous pumps and inch-thick make-up, and call it Spice World: The Movie.
