Reviews for Crossroads
Top CriticThe 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.
02/19/02
The kind of movie that seems like a very extensive trailer for a music video coming soon to Total Request Live.
02/19/02
Oops, Britney, please don't do it again!
02/19/02
See Britney wiggle her ass. See Britney skimp around in a pink bra and undies. Okay, remind me again why this movie is any different than watching Britney Spears in real life?
02/19/02
Utterly formulaic and forgettable teen trifle.
02/17/02
Tends to pile too many "serious issues" on its plate at times, yet remains fairly light, always entertaining, and smartly written.
02/16/02
A sadly predictable road movie...'Crossroads' isn't very good, but it's not terrible either.
02/16/02
'Doesn't it feel like we left home a million years ago?' (and it did).
02/16/02
If you're not the target demographic ... this movie is one long chick-flick slog.
02/16/02
Top CriticBritney Spears’ phoniness is nothing compared to the movie’s contrived, lame screenplay and listless direction.
02/15/02
An exceedingly derivative and formulaic road trip/coming-of-age movie.
02/15/02
A non-Britney person might survive a screening with little harm done, except maybe for the last 15 minutes, which are as maudlin as any after-school special you can imagine.
02/15/02
Because Crossroads is essentially a platform for Spears' fledgling acting efforts, the film struggles with her.
02/15/02
It manages to charm by evoking that special summer-road-trip vibe, despite the movie's many potholes and pit stops.
02/15/02
Any of Spears' 14-year-old fans could have written a better story than this rehash of every follow-your-dreams cliche in the book.
02/15/02
An uneven film dealing with too many problems to be taken seriously.
02/15/02
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.
02/15/02
Top CriticNot a music video, not yet a movie, but more like an extended-play advertisement for the Product that is Britney.
02/15/02
Oops, she's really done it this time. That chirpy songbird Britney Spears has popped up with more mindless drivel.
