Crossroads

Pros: The relationship of the three girls works well.
Cons: Dan Aykroyd gets on my nerves. Can he play any other roles?

Preamble and Diatribe
You know, it really bothers me when people yap yap yap about how horrible Britney is but then, they still rush out and listen to all of her cd's and anything else attached to her. The only reason I can figure...

Pros: Surprisingly Good Cast, Music
Cons: Ending, Not Enough Justin Long, A Little Hammy

Genre: Drama
Sub-categories: Coming of Age
Look-at-these: Boobs Not Included
Comedy: Some Humorous Interludes
Drama: Not a soap, but not Full House either

Synopsis:...

Pros: its only an hour and a half
Cons: acting, plot

I am not going to pretend I expected a lot from Crossroads. Any movie with Britney Spears in it can’t be taken seriously right? Browsing in Blockbuster one day with nothing else in I picked up Crossroads hoping to kill some time at night and to...

Pros: Britney, Zoe and Taryn.
Cons: Humdrum, cliched, banal.

Crossroads
Saw this movie not too long ago with a very good friend. We’re both not fans of Britney, but we don’t hate her either. In fact, the movie had been playing a long time before we saw it, simply because there was nothing else to watch...

Pros: Character "equality"; Anson Mount baby!
Cons: Voice over glitches.

First & Foremost
Just to warn you now, this will be a long review. It's about Crossroads, but my personal opinions of Britney as well. At least you can't say it isn't thorough!

My Opinion of Britney
-I don't think...

Pros: Ben: Hot. Britney's acting: Tolerable
Cons: Treats rape like a bruised knee, stupid, boring, unrealistic...

(Updated for previously undetected errors in spelling.)
Don't even ask me why I agreed to watch this movie--at the cinema, no less! At least it wasn't my own hard earned money selflessly donated to the Britney/Pepsi machine, but the money of...

Pros: The performances by the three leads (yes, Britney included).
Cons: Gets too corny for its own good as it goes along.

Pity poor Britney Spears. She's so lucky; she's a star, but if there's nothing missing in her life, then why are tears almost certain to come to her tonight? The reviews for her film starring debut, Crossroads, are guaranteed to be scathing....

Pros: Anson Mount as Britney's boyfriend; Britney's not too bad either
Cons: Cliche-ridden storyline

I must confess that I imagined bashing Britney Spears' film debut. But having seen it, it occurs to me that so pitiable an object as Crossroads ought not to be picked on.

In her defense, it must be said that Spears acquits herself...

Pros: Britney does have potential
Cons: Predictable; somewhat cheesy

I am somewhat of a Britney Spears fan so therefore that was the main reason why I rented Crossroads -- to see how she faired in her first movie role. It was okay but I think my husband described it best when he said it was the longest music video he's...

Pros: The first scene
Cons: The rest of the movie

One wonders what made Britney Spears think this movie was a good idea.

Apparently, she didn't see Mariah Carey's debut in "Glitter." But in all fairness, "Crossroads" isn't quite as awful as "Glitter." But it's close. Spears uses this...

Pros: Britney Spears is a great actress; the story of friendship is very sweet.
Cons: The script is a little weak in spots and not quite plausible.

After having seen Glitter, and barely surviving, I was a little reluctant to see another star vehicle. But this movie turned out to simply be a story of three friends, and the quest for fame was much more subdued than Glitter.

Britney plays...

Pros: Funny, silly, sad
Cons: For me - seeing Britney in her underwear.

I went to a sneak preview of the new movie "CrossRoads" starring Pop sensation Britney Spears. I felt like a "little groupie" among the teen crowd. The average age there was probably between 16-20. The movie was very touching and in my opinion realistic...

Pros: Good fun, great music, good for girly bonding
Cons: Not for everyone (but what film is?), bit predictable at times

BACKGROUND... Three years ago something happened that caused quite a stir worldwide - Britney Spears, pop princess extroadinaire, fell off her pink and glittery throne, and critics everywhere smiled with glee. Yes, Britney Spears had floated along on her ...

Pros: road trips are fun
Cons: not this one

Sadly I haven't seen "Glitter" for comparison purposes, so this one must be judged on its own merits. Parts of this weren't as horrendous as expected, others were just as bad as I predicted, yet others were far more abysmal than anyone could have known....

Pros: Britney looks cute
Cons: Plot, acting, extra cheese

Having no prior knowledge of the current movies playing, I ended up at "Crossroads." Before the opening credits ended, I realized I was in for a long, boring ride.

The title of Britney Spears’ movie debut is accurate — while the movie was not...
