For anyone seeking a movie that captures the utter vapidity of the Britney Spears Experience, with all of her most annoying personal traits and uh-uh-uh vocal tics brought to the fore.

Reviews for Crossroads
Top CriticBorrows from other movies like it in the most ordinary and obvious fashion.
02/15/02
An example of shamelessly bad screenwriting, laden with coincidence and cliché and empty characterizations.
02/15/02
Yet another example of a vanity project and the old 'Don't quit your day job just yet' saying.
02/15/02
It cultivates not the illusion of wholesomeness, since no one's buying it, but the pretense of it. Yet examine the movie's message, and it's pretty insidious.
02/15/02
Top CriticSpears may find her way as an actress, but Crossroads leads to a dead end.
02/15/02
The movie is a lumbering load of hokum but ... it's at least watchable.
02/15/02
Top CriticLike one long commercial for Britney Spears, her moves and her music.
02/15/02
It'd be hard to find anything new for the worn-out formula. Rest assured, Spears and director Tamra Davis do not.
02/15/02
One of the dullest road movies ever made, as well as a cloying, predictable, girl-bonding film.
02/15/02
So mind-numbingly awful that you hope Britney won't do it one more time, as far as movies are concerned.
02/15/02
Top CriticLacking substance and soul, Crossroads comes up shorter than Britney's cutoffs.
02/15/02
Can't escape its fluffy, Disney-like premise of fulfilling dreams, with Spears merely portraying an extension of her real-life image: Not a novice, not yet a pro.
02/15/02
Such a silly, manipulative melodrama that a graduate of the Lee Strasberg acting academy would have trouble breathing credibility into any of its characters.
02/15/02
The movie is dreadful.
02/15/02
The film is full of clichés and wild coincidences and lapses in logic, but the gals are really pretty and Britney is, well.... Britney.
02/15/02
[Spears'] persona has been shamelessly worked into a thin fiction by screenwriter Shonda Rhimes, under the characterless direction of Tamra Davis.
02/15/02
Top CriticA film that clearly means to preach exclusively to the converted.
02/15/02
Top CriticWe could have expected a little more human being, and a little less product.
02/15/02
Top CriticIf you're not a prepubescent girl, you'll be laughing at Britney Spears' movie-starring debut whenever it doesn't have you impatiently squinting at your watch.
