    I always thought girls could never be funny... but Nostalgia chick you have proven me wrong. Until we meet again..
  • PurplePantherGirl  - Wait what?

    Wait... Why in the name of the Nostalgia chick's awesome bow tie can girls not be funny? Or maybe you only speak to braindead bimbos.
    I will never know.

    I can't believe the film made beloved actor Bob hoskins portrayed as one of the spice girls in disguise XD, that my friends is why pop stars and movies never mix well together :P

    Great movie Lindsay, and I have to admit, back then in the 90's, I couldn't believe that my sister actually liked the band considering what she is today. Ah well, best that short lived girl bands best be forgotten, along with this movie of course.

    Gaaah! My childhood! :o :P

    Yeah, I kinda figured "Spice World" would get the Nostalgia Chick skewing some time down the road but you managed to make this old school Spice Girls fan from back in the day smile and chuckle a couple times. I never really noticed how much fun Mel B.'s pronounciation of "bebeh" is.

    I'm kinda surprised you didn't point out that the sneaky paparazzo was Richard O'Brien (better known for being RIFF RAFF in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show") and the "stunts" in the Aquatic Adventure (why yes, I did watch this movie obsessively as a kid and had the movie sticker album...and now I've said too much. :P)

    The Meatloaf montage was made of marvelous, just like the Nostalgia Chick. 8)
  • DanManX  - Awesome as usual!

    I enjoyed it immensely. Sadly, I remember watching this as a kid (don't ask why...please; my fragile psyche can't bear to remember the reason, I'm rather sure I blocked it out). And even then I remember it having no plot. Keeping in mind when I say "kid," I don't mean it in the adult, "anyone younger than 30 is a kid" way. I mean I was like 8 when I saw this, and that was an age when I watched any crap that came my way. I remember enjoying the American Godzilla movie, and I had to be like 12 when that came out, so imagine my taste BEFORE that. Yeah. I could tell this movie made no sense. ...what is it with you reviewing movies with no plot, Nostalgia Chick? It hardly seems fair to review something that has no plot. It's like shooting...shooting...God , what's something easy to shoot? I seem to recall there being a really old phrase here... Meh, I'll find something else. Well, if you're the Vice President I suppose lawyers are easy to shoot. Oh wait! I've got a much better analogy. It's easier than a "Cheney shot his friend in the face" joke! Yeah!

    Okay, enough of that. While I laughed as much as with any of your videos, I DO have a couple things to point out. (you'll notice I didn't say "complaints;" I'm just mentioning them in the humble hope that you will read them and take my petty, mortal words into consideration).
    Firstly, while I love Meatloaf as much as the next person--especially my mom's, HEY-OH!--you seem to be quite obsessed. You must LOVE Rocky Horror Picture Show, Fight Club, and Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny (the only three movies I can think of off the top of my head with him in them). I mention it because...well, it looked like you were going off at the end to "take care of something." I won't go into detail of what I actually imagined, lest you hate me as a chauvinist pig, but rest assured, it made it seem like your love of Meatloaf is a bit disturbing. Perhaps look into this?
    Secondly, you appear to have taken some of your fans' suggestions in adopting a method to interact with your reviews via a physical object, ie your lever. While the gag was funny, I couldn't help but link it to the timely posts in your section of the TGWTG Forums. I hope you aren't just pandering to us. Again, the gag was funny in THIS review, but others may not lend themselves to it (whereas NC's gun can be applied to almost anything), so I hope it's not something you're using just because some people said it might be a good idea.
    My third observation is that at the end of your video you say "Women's lib means no more glasses." Is that sarcasm, or for real? Just wondering (maybe it's out of place, but you look fine either way).
    Fourth and final point: "I'm [b]k[/b]ust kidding, English people!" You misspelled "just" rather grievously; perhaps you SHOULD be wearing your glasses?

    and that is the natural evolution of feminism: destined to become a joke in the postmodern world. How I would have loved to see Simone de Beauvoir's face had she lived enough to see this movie.

    I'm pretty sure bell hooks might have something to say about third wave feminism = Spice Girls, but what do I know. ;)

    Good stuff as always, Lindsay! Some sound disconnect between the review and the movie, but nothing too egregious (it's not like it's so important to hear anything from Spice World, anyway).

    Fantastic as usual. I love watching your videos and it makes me sad that I can't assist you in making the video even better (use a TARDIS joke about the spacious bus). But you're amazing at your crafting and timing. I actually look forward for to your videos than the Nostalgia Critic, and not just because I'm female! Your videos are just more like a 'bite' and less like a huge chunk of meat.(meaning your videos are great to watch over and over and not feel tired or bored, and other videos on this site have time/pacing issues...)
    Great work again! Can't wait until your next video!
  • BlueGemini

    Back then, me and my friend actually watched that movie...

    now that I thought about it.. why the hell did we watched that, anyway!? :P

    This is your funniest review yet Nostalgia Chick! You just keep getting better and better :D
  • Vixxie
    When I was nine years old this was my Shawkshank, my Schindler and my Godfather. Now watching this I am both traumatized and embarrassed. Funny as ever, please keep up the good work!
  • kikkimikki  - Good work

    I remember watching this travesty when I was young. Since I never did like the Spice girls . Good job on this one, hilarious:D
  • PlasticCup
    "You're lowering the property values of vaginas everywhere" Ha!

    I was eleven when this movie was released and even at that age I wasn't too impressed. Spot on review!
  • Altorin
    I am a 23 year old male.

    I saw Spice World in the theater.

    With my other 23 year old male friend.

    What were were thinking, I have no idea...

    However, I do think the little toy bus making that jump was ruddy hilarious. Everytime I mention to anyone that I've seen the movie and they laugh, I say "Hey, it had that awesome scene with the little toy bus."

    somehow, that scene all by itself was worth the money for the ticket and the years and years of self deprecation.

    My cousin and I did too....I have no idea why now either. :P

    Wonderful as always Lindsay. Not overly fond of the ads on the blip vids now though =(

    Aaaaaamen to that opinion. I remember my older brother was a fan of theirs at their peak though. And I suspect, he may still be a fan in secret. I should only be so horny...

    No, no on second thought I shouldn't.

    But seriously, what's with the TARDIS bus? I mean, it's odd that in a self-indulgint movie that's full of non-sequitur plot devices, an awesome helping of Meat Loaf, and the visible last-gasp of Bob Hoskins's career, that it's ultimately the physics-defying bus that I dwell on...it's the [i]bus[/i] that ends my suspension of disbelief...

    [i]Sigh[/i]...I'm so glad I was never a Spice Girls fan.

    Besides, you're more attractive than any of them, Nostalgia Chick.;)

    Watching this video had urged me to start this rant. If I had to reconsider my decisions on the worst and stupidest movie ever, then this is the ONE.

    Throughout the whole video, I swear I did not even SMILE ONCE to any of the spice world scenes (whereas compared to the NC videos). It seems to me, that this movie is made to portray a bunch of narrowed minded, posh-ass, stereotypical English celebrities who have nothing to do besides acting crazy. Firstly, there wasn't any friggin' plot. A bunch of weird ideas such as the ALIENS and the SECRET AGENTS were dumped in, and they expected something out of this shit? And also, wouldn't the theme of using "evil journalists" act as an insult to those in real life? Wouldn't this be a little controversial?

    Nevertheless, the scene which inflicted me the most pain on me was:

    "I had the exactly the same dream, but[i] MUCH MUCH WORST![/i]" :(
    "Well, you see, I had a head but there was [b]no makeup[/b] on it" :'(

    Lindsay: "OK, you, [b]SHUT UP[/b]" (Agrees with her)

    This is one of the scenes which indicate the narrow minded celebrities who care nothing but about trivial matters. What else goes out of their heads besides Gucci and feminine world?

    I find it really hypocritical how the moral in the movie is they act like best friends in the movie and their songs, but in real life, they're nothing but paid actors.
  • AuricTrinity_XL  - Brilliant, absolutely bleeding brilliant
    I never saw this movie as a kid and I never liked the Spice Girls; thank you for showing me that I missed absolutely nothing.

    By the way your obsessive fandom of Meat Loaf is not alone... The montage was truly a thing of beauty.

    Also, this was easily your best review by far.

    That was pretty damn good!

    and she's pretty cute too.
  • Matt913  - You actually watched this movie IN ITS ENTIRETY?
    avatar
    ...Oh, sweetheart, I am [i]so[/i] sorry.

    And just so I'm never accused of being homosexual or having poor taste, yes, I would have sex with you. Lots and lots and lots of sex. If sex were the same as baking, we'd make snickerdoodles for days.

    There. That should buy my heterosexuality at least two weeks.
  • SpikesGirl1  - *sigh*

    One of my most shameful guiltiest pleasures: the Spice Girls. Even now, knowing how...er...not great they are, I still will go back and listen to them...because I know the words to many, many of their shows. Again, *sigh*.

    Anyway! Despite loving the movie when I was younger, even back then I knew it was a pretty stupid movie. This review confirmed it. Hilarious stuff, Lindsay! ;D

    Talk about "movie" deserving to be made fun off. Great stuff Lindsay.
  • Toby  - One thing that bothers me:
    avatar
    I listened to the Spice Girls talking and noticed that their british accent actually sounded really overpronounced, its ridiculous. I'm not british so I might make more note of it than native speakers but damn, I've heard brits, I even have once had a british teacher and his accent was nowhere as [i]clearly[/i] an accent as theirs.

    But that's what you get when you make a movie about a short lived media sensation with actors that can't act and the main idea is to sell the movie with fanservice and bad music.

    there's more than one accent in GB, just like there is in the US.

    The review was awesome, Lindsay! It made me laugh and smile a bit. I need a good laugh, so thank you! I will admit, I was into Spice Girls a little bit when I was younger (hey, I was a little kid. I wasn't really all that aware of girl power and femminism). But, when I saw advertisements for the movie, I had a feeling that it wasn't going to be any good and then the Spice Girls just dropped off the face of the Earth afterwards. I never really missed them and I still don't miss them. I never saw the movie and I'm glad I didn't. Especially if it's setting femminism back! I have a real problem with anything that portrays females as weak, dumb, selfish, vain, or being really nasty towards men. Sigh...this is why I'm an equalist.

    Whatever Happened to Saturday NIIIIGHT ???

    sweet review...since I was already a boy when that shit came out I wouldn't dare to see it...turns out I made the right choice, thanks Lindsay even though everybody know you're here because you're the Producer's Daughter, but you really make me forget that ;D;D;D;D
