Movie Review: really is not a bad movie
Summary: 5 Stars
All of the anti-Britneys out there are going to pick out every single reason they can find to [criticize] this movie, which really is a shame because it is not a bad movie. Considering the expectations that I'm sure many of us had beforehand, it was a surprisingly good film. Ok, so it's your typical teen movie and nothing extravagent, but I feel that Britney's movie debut was excellent. She picked a role that she knew well and played it with realism. She played a somewhat dorky girl named Lucy without overdoing it and making it too cliche. Taryn Manning and Zoe Saldana were also great as Britney's 2 friends, and Anson Mount was very good as Ben. The storyline:Three girls go on a road trip with a guy, where they fix their broken relationship and eventually find themselves. Sound cliche and cheesy to you? Maybe it does, but it really isn't. There are only 2 types of people who will see this movie: Britney fans and Britney haters. Enough said. Bottom line: you're gonna have to open your mind pretty wide before you see this movie, or else you'll bend to all of the [negative] talk that's been going around about Britney's acting and all that. I think this is one of the most underestimated movie of the year. No, it's not an Oscar contender or anything like that, but it definitely does not deserve what it has gotten. I agree that Mariah Carey's "Glitter" was pretty bad, but "Crossroads" is not. Britney pulled out a decent plot, created some realistic characters, and got a story going. It is nothing worse than any other teen movie. Give it a chance: I dare you.Movie Review: SO much better than you might think
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't think that Britney Spears can move you to tears in one movie? Well, I suggest that you give this film a try, because you might be pleasantly surprised. I know I was. "Crossroads" tackles many, many serious issues, and for that reason, I would definitely say that it is not a movie for younger Britney fans. It is, however, a powerful movie that can teach you a lesson or two about friendship and dreams. Britney Spears was the last person I would expect to deliver such a surprisingly strong debut performance in a film, and all I can say is that I was really wrong. She's an actress, I can tell you that much. She starts off a little slow at first, but her character really grows on you, and her ability to act starts shining through. I will definitely be buying this on DVD, because regardless of what anyone else might say, this is a sweet movie with an extremely worthwhile message and a very good cast. I loved Taryn Manning's character as Mimi, one of Britney's two best friends. Hands down, this is Britney's best work so far, but the only way you can get anything out of it is if you watch it with a wide-open mind, and I mean WIDE open. Britney might not be everyone's favorite person, but this is a movie in which she really reaches out and brings to life a character you can admire and understand. If you really watch her character Lucy, you can see that she's just like any other typical teenager. She does a good job in that respect. I hope you'll give Britney a chance and watch this movie, because she truly deserves recognition for this one.Movie Review: I Loved This Movie...

All I have to say is this is a great movie.Yes I am a Britney fan,but I would have loved it if she hadn't even been in it.I'm sure evryone knows about this movie because of all the trailers(which I must add are on the DVD.All 6 of them.)So I'm going to use my review to talk about the DVD extras.Britney's DVD Welcome-It's only a sec. long,just Britney saying she hopes you enjoy her first movie.Break Through Britney-It's commentary by Britney.2 Music Videos-You've seen them,you know.The Making of Crossroads:40 Days with Britney-It wasn't on there.If it is it's hard to find because well I couldn't find it.First in Line-This wasn't there either.7 Deleted Scenes-I'm guessing this isn't your first DVD,so I think you know how this goes.Sing Along With Britney-This was so cool,the words are at the bottom and light up when you should say the word."Not A Girl"doesn't have main vocals but "Overprotected"does.Edit Your Own Music Video-Not as fun as it sounds.Taryn's T-Shirts-Not there(If someone is reading this and has all the stuff I've said wasn't there,please tell,somehow that way I can find out why.)Crossroads Photo Gallery-You know what's here.Then all the trailers(with the MTV ones where each person hass thir own.)Well last thing I'm going to say is that the movie is awesome.I tell you even if you hate Britney,see it.If you like teen female movies then get it,rent it,something,just see it.Movie Review: Britney Spears shows outstanding acting ability!
Summary: 5 Stars
CROSSROADS, a movie about three teenage girlfriends who have drifted apart quite a bit throughout the four years in high school. At the time of the movie the three girls, Lucy (Britney Spears), Mimi (Taryn Manning) and Kit (Zoe Saldana) meet back up at a special spot, and later begin a long journey across America. On this trip they discover something that they used to know, but had lost track of...their amazing friendship. This movie really is a good film about friendship and some of the most important things in life, that many take for granted. Britney Spears, along with her co-starring girls and Anson Mount (Ben) do an incredible job of portraying young girls (and guy) learing their way to adulthood. We all knew that Britney Spears could dance and sing extremely well, but did we know that she was such a great actress? Well, if there were any doubts about the extent of this girls talent, it seems that it's endless. Spears shows an extreme passion for acting and does it very well in the role of Lucy. It would be great to see Spears acting even more in the future. The movie also brings in some great appearances by Dan Aykroyd and Kim Cattrall, who play Lucy's parents, Pete and Caroline. If ever in the mood for a fun, campy movie that's a little bit comedy and a little bit drama, turn to CROSSROADS and your multi-talented girl, Britney Spears.Movie Review: COOL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you don't like Crossroads because of the plot, or because of Britney Spears, get it for the DVD extrafeatures. It's incredible! Aside from the movie, here is a review of some of the special features:
Britney DVD welcome - This is sweet! Brit introduces the movie, and how she enjoyed making it. She
looks great too!
2 music videos - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, Overprotected (The Darkchild Remix). Fairly
good quality. I have a 36 inch TV, so whenever I watch the Not A Girl video, it looks exquisite!!
Break through Britney - You can turn on this feature and listen to Britney's thoughs throughout the
movie.
Edit your own music video - This feature is very cool! You can edit a clip of the Not A Girl video. You have 3 different frames, click all of them in any order you wish, then you can play it back!!!
Taryn's t-shirts - Taryn Manning and this other fashion designer show you how to make the t-shirts from the I Love Rock 'N Roll karaoke scene. Pretty cool!
The making of - 40 days with Britney, i haven't even finished watching the first day.
