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 dig up a time capsule they buried together as little girls. Mimi's about to make good on her childhood dreams; she's leaving their small Southern town for hopes of fame and fortune in Los Angeles. Though Lucy and Kit are reluctant to join her, they decide to tag along at the last minute, agreeing to be chauffeured by Mimi's just-out-of-jail friend, Ben (Anson Mount). As they trek across the country, plagued by car problems, unsanitary motels, and petty bickering, the three friends reveal meaningful secrets to each other, and Lucy begins to realize that the handsome, reticent Ben might just be the guy for her. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

    I really loved this film! One of my all time favourite films. A must see!
  • March 30, 2010
    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.... read moreA. 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.

    Um, I don't know what to say. At least Britney Spears is pretty is this?? But you've gotta admit the "I Love Rock and Roll" number was pretty catchy. I give credit where credit is due.

David Hunter, Hollywood Reporter

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

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

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

Richard Roeper

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

She's not yet an actress, not quite a singer... Full Review

Jane Dark

Jane Dark, Village Voice

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

Peter Travers

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

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

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

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. Full Review

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

Not a music video, not yet a movie, but more like an extended-play advertisement for the Product that is Britney. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Oops, she's really done it this time. That chirpy songbird Britney Spears has popped up with more mindless drivel. Full Review

Peter Howell
February 15, 2002
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

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. Full Review

Mick LaSalle
February 15, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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. Full Review
