Crossroads Reviews
February 19, 2002
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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

Musically, Britney is as talented as Samantha Foxx, and her acting is less textured than Lance Bass'.

Britney Spears' feature debut is curiously low-key and even sad. Yes, it pulls itself together occasionally for a musical number, but even those are so locked into the "reality" of the story that they don't break lose into fun.

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

Its biggest fault is not having a clear idea of its audience.

Britney bomb isn't appropriate for her young fans.

Although Britney and her friends drive some 2,000 miles, her movie never goes anywhere at all.

Because Crossroads is essentially a platform for Spears' fledgling acting efforts, the film struggles with her.

She's not yet an actress, not quite a singer...
February 14, 2002
Too hokey, too stodgy and too aggressively pink.

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.

Within 20 minutes of this incongruous baloney, I knew I'd stumbled upon a potential Razzie.

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.

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

Unfortunately, this young female-awakening dilapidated drama demands everything of Britney Spears as she juggles the rigors of being a sugar-coated lamb one moment than a rampaging rogue in a slinky bra the next.

A stinker from top to bottom...

Like one long commercial for Britney Spears, her moves and her music.
