Movie Info

Multimillion-selling recording artist Britney Spears makes the transition to the big screen with this teen road trip romantic comedy, co-produced by the film branch of the entity that first brought her pop stardom, MTV. Crossroads casts Spears as Lucy, the shy valedictorian of her high school graduating class. On the night of their prom, Lucy and her once-close childhood friends -- the prim and proper Kit (Zoe Saldana) and the tomboyish, five-months-pregnant Mimi (Taryn Manning) -- reunite to

Davis directs the low-budget production with economy and a lack of surface flashiness that is pleasingly unpretentious.

Crossroads adopts such a self-important tone that it's embarrassing.

The kind of movie that seems like a very extensive trailer for a music video coming soon to Total Request Live.

If you're not the target demographic ... this movie is one long chick-flick slog.

It does wonders to a critic to know that you could be a continuing font of teen and post-teen kitsch for years to come.

Britney bomb isn't appropriate for her young fans.

Naive and amateurish in both the negative and positive sense of these terms, Crossroads provides a disappointing showcase for pop icon and youth symbol Britney Spears, who pretends to be the new-retro Sandra Dee.

Dull, a road-trip movie that's surprisingly short of both adventure and song.

Within 20 minutes of this incongruous baloney, I knew I'd stumbled upon a potential Razzie.

A cellophane-pop remake of the punk classic Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains...Crossroads is never much worse than bland or better than inconsequential.

I really loved this film! One of my all time favourite films. A must see!

Very surprisingly I quite enjoyed this?! Yes it's very cheesey, what did you expect? I'm sure most people have panned this just because Britney is in it? It has a TV film feel to it but it's actually a pretty decent road trip film as a group of once close young friends head to L.A. together for different reasons. I thought Britney acted a lot better than I expected and it isn't overloaded with her songs for those who aren't fans of hers. It will probably be better known for Britney dancing around in her underwear, but it's not a bad film by any means.

    1. Lucy: Maybe we should get in the bed.
    2. Henry: Yes, then maybe it will be better.
