Note to theater-owners: If you ever need a Midnight Movie--other than RHPS, that is--please, consider this little gem. It is MST3K-style comedy GOLD, I tell you! It's has everything a cult movie should need to be popular: wooden acting, goofy dialogue, what-the-hell-is-THIS-doing-here musical numbers, racism, misogyny, and much, much, more. The girls are as cute as they are dumb, and the men are...well...let's just say they make Ryan Seacrest look ultra macho. The basic plot is that a young, vaguely Canadian hillbilly (Bobby "In-it-for-the-money" Vee) saves the, ahem, "girl" (Jackie "Just-payin'-the-mortgage" DeShannon) from a faded projection background...I mean, car accident. When they get to the University, it's revealed that (A) she's the dean's daughter, and (B) there's about to be a "Revoluton". (Excuse me while I try to overcome the Giggles.) Throughout this film Bobby and Jackie demonstrate two different schools of acting: She coming from the Marlo Thomas School; He, Pia Zadora. In short, you'll laugh (for all the wrong reasons), you'll cry (from chuckling so hard), you'll get constipated (from all of the cheese fed from this movie)!

This is one of those movies that's so mind-numbingly cheesy and camp, you have to watch it again...just to figure out what the heck you just saw! The dress, music and slang terms are so corny, that you just KNOW they're trying too hard to be trendy. The acting--and I use the term very loosely--varies somewhere below Pia Zadora and somewhere above any actor in an Ed Wood film; the two of the aforementioned are Frankie "In-It-For-The-Money" Avalon and Julian "Permanent-Blank-Stare" Barnes. Then there's the misleading title. I personally expected the supernatural to play a part in it somewhere, or an ax-wielding murderer. Unfortunately, this is in essence a whodunit. So, if you want any horror, or anything haunted, this is SO not the film for you!

First of all, we all know that Spice World isn't the best film ever made. However it's not a bad as...well...You-Know-What starring B.A. and J.Lo.

But back to Spice World.

I think it depends on your state of mind when you're viewing this potential camp classic. You might enjoy this if you (a)in a Party-Hearty mood, or (b) If your day is sucking and you are not in the mood to think for 90 minutes.

If you are the type who critiques the hell out of every single film, you might want to reconsider.
