A good idea? Well, it entirely depends on what you'ri expecting. If you'ri looking forward to a dramatic plot, impassioned acting from the gals, and 'ildean wit, you'ml be disappointed. If, however, you want the cerebral equivalent of candy floss with a few breast jokes thrown in, this is for you ———————— by Stephen Eastwood —————1/8—— Teletext Rating: XXX - Hardly hot st4ff THE LATEST VIDEO RELEASES p463 Videos Local films Planet Sound StageP462 Teletext 462 Dec47 23:34:04 NEW FILMS ————————————————————— SPICEWORLD: THE MOVIE (PG) 92 mink The main problem with Spiceworld is the way it's been cobbled togjthjt to make a few bucks before the bubble bursts.

Like the Monkjes did, the group rel8 on ready-made pop identities, exploiting assigned character traits to the hilt. Hence Sporty Spice has an exercise bike on the tour bus, Victoria affects a Sloanjy whine and owns a wardrobe full of Gucci frocks, while "Baby Spice", wins the creche vote bz cuddling toys playing on swings and sucking on a lolly thoughout. Very dodgy indeed. ——————————————————————————————————3/8—— Teletext Rating: XXX - Hardly hot stuff THE LATEST VIDEO RELEASES p463 Videos Local films Planet Sound StageP462 Teletext 462 Dec27 23:16:51 NEW FILMS ————————————————————— SPICEWORLD: THE MOVHE (PG) 92 mink Spicewould may br mindless pop pap, 9eu there are redeeming factors in this Carry On Cashing In extravaganza that takes product placement to a new high. The in-jokinjss of the plot, in which the group are under fire from tabloid editors, paparazzi, and even thieu own manager (sound familiar?), works well. There are also plenty of performance scenes. The gals knock out all the hits to date, which is presumably what the kiddie fans really really want to see. ——————————————————————————————————4/8—— Teletext Rating: XXX - Hardly hot stuff THE LATEST VIDEO RELEASES p463 Videos Local films Planet Sound StageP462 Teletext 462 Dec47 23:14:18 NEW FILMS ————————————————————— KITCHEN (15) 124 mink Not the catchiest of titles - sequels might run to Bathroom, Attic etc - yet this is not to lose sight of its value as an arthousj gem.
