Summary: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
Review: Crossroads is an awesome drama and comedy about three friends who are reunited and take a roadtrip together. This movie is about taking risks, making friendships last and pursuing dreams. It is the perfect movie for teenage girls who want to have good laughs with their friends. The music is awesome as well. There are a few good Britney Spears songs featured in the movie, and on the DVD special features, it has music videos and it also teaches you how to sing the songs. It is a great movie and everyone will have a great time.
And to the guys: It is not as much of a chick flick as you may think.

Summary: Okay acting, but what exactly is it promoting?
Review: This movie is about three girls who were best friends as children but have grown apart. They are graduating high school and trying ot figure out their futures. Lucy is supposed to go to college in Georgia with a double major in biology and chemistry. Being the perfect child. Mimi has no plans for her future, but she's 5 months pregnat. Kit wants to marry her boyfriend who goes to college in California. So, MImi says she's going to an audition in LA and taking a roadtrip out there. The next morning Kit and Lucy decide to go along for the ride - Kit to see her boyfriend, Lucy to find the mother who abandoned her when she was three. Lots of singing, lots of skin showing to be "sexy" (shoot the movie starts with Spears in briefs and singing in bed). Surprisingly, the acting was fairly good. All the actors/actresses do a good job of portraying teenagers who are in between immaturity and maturity. And they do a great job showing how old friends can become friends once more. However... everything else? Assuming this movie is aimed at Spears' followers, the audience was probably preteens to teens. At the beginning of the movie, it pretty much bashes virgins and that a guy who's a virgin can't make it in college because of the harassement. Spears wants to lose her virginity just cause. Lucy pretty much just runs away from her dad. Mimi's friend Ben, who is driving the car... nobody seems to know anything about him yet they're hitching a ride with him anyway? Everybody thinks he's a murderer, and three teenage girls just hop in the car for a 3000 mile roadtrip!? While on the trip, seatbelts are rarely, if ever, worn. At one point the girls are standing in the backseat singing. The girls get drunk one night, and although Mimi doesn't drink, the movie doesnt seem to be promoting abstaining from alcohol. Then, Lucy and Ben get together after only knowing each other like a week. Granted teenagers do this stuff all on their own, but do we really need a movie advocating it? Because Spears is such an idol to so many young kids, do we really need her promoting these ideas? And plotwise...come on, three girls going across the country for no particular reason at all? Lucy is going to see a mother who pretty much doesnt give a darn about her. Why not CALL her?? Kit is going to visit a boyfriend who doesnt seem to give a darn about her... why not CALL him?? and Mimi is just off to go audition - like you can't audition anywhere in Georgia. Ben..well he just likes California. Anyway, although the acting is okay, the rest of the movie just seems to be about nothing in particular but showing off every wrong thing a teenager can do.

Summary: See you at da crossroads!
Review: One word- Yowza! Guys who saw this flick know that the best scene ain't in the beginning before graduation, it's that night! Can I get a holla?! I mean, JEEZ! Girls, well, um, I don't know what to tell you about the story b/c the benefit of DVD is accessing the best parts & continually watching them over & over again like my boy JTapp! Props! I will say that anyone who ain't switch-hittin or changing teams (you know) will enjoy Lucy's "first" with her lab partner! That & b/c Dan Akyroyd is the bombs in this flick, but still ain't no Ray in Ghostbusters!

Summary: Worth renting; they chopped too much
Review: I remember the "making of" TV special on MTV that aired before the movie opened, and they showed a very good sequence, that didn't get included in the movie, of her meeting with her mother that made more plot sense because her mother's viewpoint was expressed, and that part really should have been included in the film. They also alluded to a realistic love scene, which I can understand why it had to be left on the cutting-room floor, when I went to the opening night premiere and saw the overwhelming majority of young children in the audience! Maybe in a future Director's Cut... Two tiny changes could have been made, and hopefully exist in the vault, that would have really improved the audience reaction. In the karaoke scene, she slipped much too easily from reluctant and shy to seasoned performer. This is supposed to be Lucy, not Britney.The other scene needing attention is where she and Anson's character are working out turning her poem into a song. I've seen first-hand the creative process at work, and it's fascinating to watch, but even the youngest children in the opening-night showing knew that it doesn't happen in 15 seconds. Some people in the audience even laughed at it.I hope the studio has footage of him tentatively humming or singing to her suggestions of how it might sound, having them fiddle with where it starts, where this bit goes, where that bit goes, her pacing back and forth, looking at the sheet music, trying different ideas...that sort of thing, just a few moments long each, with fade-outs in between, and seen from different angles in the room, indicating the passage of time. This one change alone would bring the movie up from three stars to four. And this change, I feel, is so important that if the footage doesn't exist, they should get Anson and Britney back to that particular scene for an afternoon, to fill in the gaps that currently demand too much Suspension of Disbelief. It should be do-able cheaply, because there are only those two characters in an indoor setting on location. (It was little details like these that made "8 Mile" not just another thinly-disguised celebrity vehicle.) I'd like to see this re-worked to where it compares favorably to that 5-star movie. I had mild issues with how things tended to be "wrapped up in a bow" with few loose ends where some could have made it less formulaic: Lucy's two friends involved with the same sleaseball guy; the fact that he is portrayed one-dimensionally; having them win the contest--they could as well have come in close, and immediately given a referral because the organisers see the potential.These are minor issues, and considering the tastes of the principal age group that went to the movie, tying up the loose ends might have been the right thing to do. Maybe a second, more edge-y version can be salvaged from the un-used footage.

Summary: Good Girl Bonding Flick
Review: I am a huge fan of Britney Spears, so when this movie came out in the theater I JUST HAD TO SEE IT! I made my sister go with me (really...made her go...she didn't think watching Britney act would be worth $8.75). At the end of the movie we were both smiling and feeling all giddy and happy for the characters of the story. Road trip! It is a great girl bonding movie and Britney does a really good job acting. The story is touching in many ways. Lucy (Britney) doesn't know her mother and wants to meet her, Kat (Zoe) thinks she has the perfect love waiting for her in Los Angeles, and Mimi (Taryn) is pregnant and wants to embark on a singing career. Throw in a hot guy and you've got a movie! Give Britney, and the rest of the cast a chance, and you just might like the movie.

Summary: A good film........
Review: This Britney Spears film is not excellent, but is good. Some actors are very good, but others aren`t. Britnety Spears did an outstanding job in this film, but I think that she can do better singing. The plot of the film is interesting, but in my opinion it could be more exciting if her mother wasn't such a bad person. I didn't like the way in which Mimi losed her baby, because it was an horrible accident and her friend felt so bad (because she thought that was her fault). It's was a good idea that Britney`s sister should be the young Lucy, because they are very similar. I like the way that the three girls (Lucy, Mimi and the other girl), became friends all over again after so much time.
And I also like the way in which the writers inserted two of Britney's famous songs in the film ("I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" and "I love rock & roll").
I had to choose between this songs, even though it is dificult, I think I would choose "I love rock & roll", because it is more exciting!!!. Well, to sum up I recommend this film, but not for going to the cinema and see it there, becouse it's not so good for that.

Summary: Good Try
Review: I won't write a review in which I tear apart Britney Spears, but I have to admit that this was not the best movie in the world. Sometimes Britney came off very convincing and other times it seemed as though she was trying way too hard, especially in the dramatic scenes. Some of the things that occured seemed a little unrealistic and only happened because it was a Britney Spears movie (i.e. the bar scene). I think that Britney should have left her singing and skin-bearing persona at the door and really tried to delve into the character of Lucy. We hear Britney on the radio all the time, we don't need to hear her singing in a movie as well. Fans of Britney Spears will love this movie because there's plenty of her performing and being sweet and innocent. Others, however, will probably want to skip this film.
