Produced by: MTV
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Look, you know why I went to see this movie. Because I'm a guy who likes hot women such as Britney Spears in her underwear for about two minutes early in the film. The director thought, ah what the hell, if we include Britney doing her thing, maybe we'll keep the viewers interested.
The truth is, no one really gives a damn about this movie. Especially me. If we wanted to see "real life" being played, then we'd just go home and watch a family member's life for free. Why pay $6 dollars to watch Britney going to star status when you could just watch a documentary on VH1 for a lot cheaper? Oh sure, you could argue that if you kept Britney on the big screen, her um...lips look a lot bigger than on TV. But if you're really that desperate, just go buy her book or her latest mediocre CD entry to her music career. There's plenty of ways you could save money...hell, search the internet or something, just don't see Crossroads.
Okay, so the movie isn't that bad. Hell there were some scenes when I couldn't stop watching the drama play out. But then all that is ruined by the fact that the cameraman seems to be enjoying taping her so much that he rocks the camera back and forth through the entire movie, and I don't think I want to know what he's doing. But the thing that caught me most wasn't Britney (she can't act!), but her friends. They can act, and they like to take the spotlight in the film when it comes to drama. Britney just sits there and acts like a retarded Arkansas hillbilly throughout the damned film, while the other actors give the viewers what they came here to see--acting!
I liked the bar scene. You know, the "I love rock and roll." Yeah, that's the one. I also enjoyed watching one of Britney's friends punch a guy in the face. That was cool. But the rest of the movie isn't worth watching, although you'll be glued to some of the things the directors didn't really want you to be watching. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course the director wanted you to see that! But if I'm correct, then what is there for women to watch in this film? Will women even be interested?
Oh, and the worst part of the movie is the advertising. This movie is basically an hour and a half advertisement for her latest CD. Hell, Britney, if you want us to buy the damned CD so bad why don't you just advertise it in magazines, or on TV or something? I thought I was actually going to be treated to a good movie! Actually, I didn't.
Final Score: D
