Spice World (1998) ***

A hip, entertaining musical about five gorgeous airheads who took the world by storm and set feminism back by at least a decade. Those sassy, brash and cheerful vixens mingle with celebrities, encounter fans from outer space, fight with their anal-retentive manager (Richard E.Grant), drive around London in a Spicebus and prepare for a live concert at Albert Hall. Only Victoria (Posh Spice) can actually act, but all girls deserve credit for being such good sports and making fun of themselves with such gleeful abandon.
