'Spice World', a musical comedy film was realeased in 1997, directed by Bob Spiers, written by Kim Fuller and Jamie Curtis, and starring the British pop girl group the Spice Girls. The lighthearted comedy, made in a similar vein to The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, depicts fictional events leading up to a major concert at the Royal Albert Hall, liberally interspersed with dream sequences and flashbacks as well as surreal moments and humorous asides.
The film ends with the Spice Girls arriving at the Royal Albert Hall for their performance and them running up the South Steps to the 'Rocky' theme tune. The girls reach the Hall's stage and perform their song 'Spice Up Your Life' to a full auidence, mainly comprising children and young people.
The film premiered on 15 December 1997 and proved to be a hit at the box office breaking the record for the highest-ever weekend debut for Super Bowl Weekend (25 January 1998) in the US. Despite it being successful at the box office, the film garnered negative reviews. |
