Thankfully for its producers, the nature of the film lent itself well to last-minute cuts: “We were in post-production when most of those things came up, so we had the ability to re-edit the material because the material wasn’t necessarily linear,” explains McAleese. “It was never intended to be controversial. It was meant to be fun and fluffy, and entertaining. We were not trying to do Ben-Hur.” Longino, Miriam (19 January 1998).

Re-watching Spice World in 2019, Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph was "pleasantly surprised" that the jokes had not aged badly and found the sets and costuming had a "now-retro charm". Vincent stated: "It's an irreverent, lighthearted romp that captured the brash, patriotic positivity of a London swept up in Cool Britannia." [35] Writing for The New York Times in 2019, Eleanor Stanford found the film to be "much smarter and more self-aware than I once gave it credit for," particularly enjoying how the Spice Girls poked fun at themselves. Stanford concluded: "The Spice Girls were absolutely working the (very sexist) system, and making a lot of money off it, but they were doing it slyly, with a wink and a grin. They were, I think, misunderstood at the time, and I wonder if an irreverent, breezy group like theirs could even exist today."

It’s a film with no modern equivalent. Official toy versions of the Spice Bus were produced upon the release of the movie. [17] Home media [ edit ] With the album not released until November 1, 1997, and the film even later on December 15 of that year, we may have a little more waiting to do ahead of official releases.

Amid this, the girls must prepare for their live concert at the Royal Albert Hall in three days, which will be the biggest performance of their music career. At the heart of it, the constant rehearsals, travelling, publicity appearances and other burdens of celebrity affect the girls on a personal level, preventing them from spending much time with their best friend, Nicola, who is due to give birth soon. Throughout the busy schedule, the girls try to ask Clifford for time off to spend with Nicola and relax, but Clifford refuses after talking with the head of the girls' record label, the cryptic and eccentric "Chief".
