Editorial Review:
Pop idol Britney Spears stars in this sweet coming-of-age movie about three childhood friends who've grown apart, but find out they may still have a lot in common. After graduating from high school, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoe Saldana), and Mimi (Taryn Manning) decide to take a road trip to L.A. to audition for a record label. Along the way, there's a lot of heartbreak and female bonding (not to mention a lot of midriff-baring--in her first scene, Spears jumps on her bed in her underwear, singing along to a Madonna song), as each of the three girls learns more about herself and life. Crossroads could have been trite schmaltz, but the script has some grit and the direction is fresh and relaxed--and, most significantly, Spears is far more sympathetic and engaging than you might expect. Also featuring Dan Aykroyd and Kim Cattrall. --Bret Fetzer
Crossroads Reviews:
It's Britney B---h! 
2009-11-02 - This movie is the reason why I love Britney. She is amazing at singing and acting!
Britney at her best!
2009-10-21 - This is one of my favorite movies of all times. Britney proves that she can act and isn't a ditsy southerner. She is amazingly talented and I know she'll be around forever.
This loyal fan doesn't like Crossroads. 
2009-03-25 - I'm a loyal fan of Britney's since Baby One More Time, and I do not like this movie. It is boring, cheesy, and talks down to her fans. Far from Mandy Moore's A Walk to Remember, which was worth, well, remembering.
Good Movie 
2008-08-26 - I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a really cute movie. And as in other reviews I didn't think the acting was that bad. Some people have to realize Britney isn't an actor she is a singer. So you can't compare Britney's acting to some like Kirsten Dunst, or Julia Roberts.
worse than nothing
2008-04-22 - This movie was a waste of time, energy, and money. It should never have been released. Britney may have played a silly young receptionist on a recent tv episode and appeared to do well but that is also a back to back comparison of insane britney and a step back up for her. I'm glad she's doing better, but let's face it, the girl can't sing worth a damn and she certainly could not act her way out of a paper bag when Crossroads was made. She might do better now in an insipid role like the "Mother" episode. I bought Crossroads from an amazon seller several years ago for 1 cent plus shipping, and it was a waste of the 1 cent and certainly of the shipping. I tried to give it away but nobody would take it so I finally tossed it in the trash.
