Spice World at The Revival House PerthThe Spice Girls—Sporty, Scary, Baby, Ginger, and Posh—are taking the world by storm, but just days before their massive Albert Hall concert, their lives become increasingly chaotic. Traveling around London in their iconic double-decker bus with their manager Clifford (Richard E. Grant) and their pregnant best friend Nicola, the girls navigate tabloid photographers, demanding documentarians, and their tyrannical boss (Roger Moore). Posh Spice worries about her friend's upcoming due date, Ginger has artistic aspirations beyond pop music, and their tight bond faces pressure from fame's demands. When their manipulative manager books them for impossible commitments and a tabloid editor (Barry Humphries) plots to manufacture scandals, the girls must decide what matters most. As the Albert Hall performance approaches and Nicola goes into labor, the Spice Girls prove that friendship, girl power, and staying true to yourself matter more than any show.
Director Bob Spiers embraces the absurdist possibilities of his assignment, crafting a freewheeling comedy that plays like A Hard Day's Night filtered through '90s girl power sensibility. The 1997 film knows exactly what it is—a celebration of the biggest pop phenomenon of the decade—and leans into the silliness with cameos from everyone from Elton John to Meat Loaf, fantasy sequences, and fourth-wall-breaking moments where the girls comment on their own movie. The Spice Girls play heightened versions of their public personas with surprising comic timing, while Richard E. Grant commits magnificently to the chaos. The film captures a specific cultural moment when the Spice Girls dominated global pop culture, delivering their infectious hits alongside a surprisingly sweet message about friendship. It's unabashedly fun, colorful, and quintessentially '90s.
