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

Reviews for Crossroads
Top CriticStrangely, while watching this, one is reminded of another wartime pop goddess, Betty Grable, whose popularity and talents were about on a par with Spears'.

Tends to pile too many "serious issues" on its plate at times, yet remains fairly light, always entertaining, and smartly written.
02/16/02
An appealing chick flick about three friends who explore together the scary and exhilarating transition from adolescence to adulthood.
02/14/02
Spears manages to come across on film as natural, endearing, and extremely likable.
03/04/02
It manages to charm by evoking that special summer-road-trip vibe, despite the movie's many potholes and pit stops.

...until the definitive movie about the blues is constructed, returning to Crossroads will have to suffice.

Admittedly, I'm rather indifferent to Britney and her music, but still I didn't mind this film.

Sure, Crossroads and Brit herself may be silly, superficial, and bubbly, but so what? She and the film are also fun, sexy, and playful.

The good news for you Britney fans is that Crossroads isn't altogether horrific. But it's no classic by any stretch of the imagination either.

Laced with After School Special blandness, bits of tween-friendly comedy and packs o' cleavage.
