SEEING DOUBLE is a feature-length adventure for the S Club gang as they jet off to Los Angeles to track down a band who are masquerading under their name and find that the double vision is as sinister as they fear. Generated by an evil scientist with plans of world domination, the clones in question successfully assume the identities of Hannah, Jo, Rachel, Tina, Bradley and Jon, leaving the real S Club to survive without the entourage or attention they've come to expect. If viewers can avoid wisecracks about manufactured pop bands, SEEING DOUBLE offers the same frolics as SPICE WORLD, but benefits from S Club's previous on-screen careers.

Chirpy British popstars S Club sought to exploit their popularity with pre-teen audiences with this shameful but effective mass-marketing exercise. Wooden, unimaginative and with the feel of an extended pop promo, this nutrient-free nonsense makes Spice World look like an epic. Beyond the film's core audience, there are few who will appreciate its mishmash of song, dance and dreadful jokes, but for confirmed fans the bubblegum romp will be a double delight. It features not one, but two S Clubs, after an evil celebrity-obsessed scientist decides to clone Rachel, Hannah and the gang and send the doppelgängers out on a world tour. What follows is a sugary, slickly packaged (by producer Simon Fuller of Pop Idol fame) race against time, as the genuine stars, now relegated to wannabes, endeavour to reclaim their own identities.
It was a wise move for manager Simon Fuller to turn his post-Spice Girls band S Club 7 into a Monkees-style TV... read more on Time Out
Whilst watching this film, two words came to mind....contractual obligation. You can see the tiredness and lethargy of the poor S-Clubbers on the screen. They all seem ready to break up and bolt for solo careers or long holidays, which funnily enough they did as soon as this film was released. The story revolves around the cloning of the S-Clubbers (haven't they already been cloned as the S-Club Juniors??) and their attempts to prove that they are the 'real' thing and defeat the evil cloning puppetmaster (isn't that Simon Fuller??). I really wanted to enjoy this film but I am sorry to say that besides Tina Barrett (my favourite), this flick makes Spice World look like The English Patient. Scrictly for the kidlets!
Rented this one out for the little monkeys who enjoyed over and over again as for the adult it's a one time watch but worth a view if its only for rachel stevens :)
