Rarely has one movie seemed so predestined to reduce any and all attempted criticism to so many column inches of impotent gibberish.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Elvis Mitchell
Disarmingly, the film thus acknowledges the Spice Girls' flash-in-the-pan status and lets them kid around about their frankly synthetic career.
ReelViews by James Berardinelli
Although the film is clearly trying to follow in the footsteps of the Beatles' classic, it's several long strides behind, lacking the same sense of originality, spontaneity, high energy, and joi de vivre.
Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector
A promotional tool that establishes its superfluousness simply by existing, this clumsy, smirking movie has a bitter soul.
Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
Bad as it may be, though, the film falls that one precious inch shy of being quite so awful that it achieves cult status; in short, it's just not bad enough to be any good.
San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Stack
A joyous, hilarious send-up of rock star pretensions and an enchanting celebration of "girl power" in pop culture.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
They're so detached they can't even successfully lip-synch their own songs.
Entertainment Weekly by Ty Burr
Shabbily filmed, thoroughly harmless Official Product.
