Goofs

The girls manager tells Dennis to go to the Royal Albert Hall. The next scene is them going completely the wrong direction but then they miraculously appear at the entrance. They cross Tower Bridge and pass Battersea Power Station, which would mean that they would have to travel right through the center of London to get there.

I Came, I Saw, Then I Went Home

Call it morbid fascination if you will, but my friends and I had to see this opening day. Let me state for the record that I am not, was not nor will I ever be a fan of Spice Girls music, I am a fan of films and music however and I had to see what atrocities were being committed within the media.

I will be brief. It has been a few years, so I don't quite remember exactly what was going on as far as the plot is concerned, but I do recall it was not important. I didn't walk out of the film, however, so officialy I have seen it, but my brain must have gone into defense mode and blocked that hour and a half from memory, Thank The Maker! And another thing, I feel bad for poor old Meatloaf...one star out of ten

Avoid This Film, as if I had to tell you that...
