For some reason my 5 year old daughter really really likes this movie. And before you say “you let your 5 year old watch Spice World?” let me just say that the movie is harmless. Love them or hate them, the Spice Girls were never raunchy or inappropriate for kids. They are very cartoon-like and the movie is a bit of a farce. It’s a silly little movie that exists solely to cash-in on the Spice mania that was happening over 10 years ago. it’s definitely done just for laughs. Interestingly enough it has a lot of cameos from British television comedians like Hugh Laurie, Barry Humphries, and Jennifer Saunders. There is a lot of self-parody in the film as well. the Spice Girls at that time did not take themselves so seriously. It was all about fun and music. So while I wouldn’t say this is necessarily a kids movie, it’s certainly safe for kids. And for what it is, it’s really not bad.
watching movies one cup at a time
Welcome to Ice Cubes In My Coffee :: The Caffeinated Movie Guide. I love movies and I have strong opinions about all of them. When they are great, they can change your life. And when they suck, you can at least have fun ripping them to shreds. I have seen a million movies and I have a bunch of movie facts and trivia stored up in my head - it's time to share. I'm going to be filling this movie guide with reviews on an ongoing basis, building up a large library of reviews so YOU, the movie-watching public, will know what movies are essential viewing and what movies you must avoid at all costs (hint: anything with the words "Starring Dane Cook"). I will also be posting some interesting articles and lists along the way as well. So grab a cup of joe and settle in for some movie talk!
