It manages to charm by evoking that special summer-road-trip vibe, despite the movie's many potholes and pit stops.

Reviews for Crossroads
'Doesn't it feel like we left home a million years ago?' (and it did).
02/16/02
Admittedly, I'm rather indifferent to Britney and her music, but still I didn't mind this film.
02/13/02
...a plethora of mixed messages for teenage girls...
02/13/02
Clichés pile up in Crossroads, but it's harmless, powder-puff fun.
02/14/02
Top CriticLike one long commercial for Britney Spears, her moves and her music.
02/15/02
Utterly formulaic and forgettable teen trifle.
02/17/02
Crossroads adopts such a self-important tone that it's embarrassing.
02/20/02
Top CriticI liked a Britney Spears movie!
02/13/02
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde or someone equally irked by melodrama, you'd have to have a heart of stone to watch a film like Crossroads without laughing.
02/14/02
The movie is dreadful.
02/15/02
All the while, I wanted to shout at the screen, 'Keep the day job... whatever that is!'
02/20/02
An appealing chick flick about three friends who explore together the scary and exhilarating transition from adolescence to adulthood.
02/14/02
If even half the scenes with the girls singing along to pop songs in the car were cut, Crossroads would barely qualify as feature length.
06/05/02
Although Britney and her friends drive some 2,000 miles, her movie never goes anywhere at all.
04/16/02
The only thing separating Crossroads from a Showtime soft porn is the lack of any actual nudity. Like its star, the film is just a highly inappropriate tease.
02/14/02
Brittany's fans will probably love "Crossroads." Everyone else may be able to make a drinking game out of it.
02/14/02
Spears manages to come across on film as natural, endearing, and extremely likable.
03/04/02
The kind of movie that seems like a very extensive trailer for a music video coming soon to Total Request Live.
02/19/02
Top CriticBritney Spears and company are well aware that they're making nothing more than the cinematic equivalent of Spears' glossy bubble gum pop--but that's exactly the problem.
