Spiceworld*
(GB 1997)
Polygram/Icon/Spice Productions/Fragile Films. 93m.
The Spice Girls on tour.
90 minutes of them indeed, in what is effectively a music promo with a neat touch of self-parody (together with several vacuous celebrity guest appearances), quite engaging as people but barely one dimensional as characters, akin to The Beatles in A Hard Day's Night, although compared with three decades earlier the musicality of the songs is - like the Spice Girls themselves - rather slender.
Written by: Kim Fuller, Jamie Curtis.
Producers: Mark L. Rosen, Barnaby Thompson, Uri Fruchtman.
Director: Bob Spiers.
Starring: Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Adams, Richard E. Grant, Roger Moore, Alan Cumming, George Wendt, Richard O'Brien, Barry Humphries, Michael Barrymore, and others.
Photography: Clive Tickner.
Music: Paul Hardcastle.
