TC Candler's Review C-

A film that shows Britney in panties twice can't be all that bad...

I must admit that I was extremely pessimistic about the chance that this film would be any good... I was even more devoid of hope about Britney's acting talent. BUT! That being said, both the film and Britney Spears' thespian ability were pleasant surprises. Is Crossroads a good film? No... the script is too naive and clichéd for that... but it isn't the disaster that some may have feared.

Musically, Britney is a decent 'studio' performer... but we all know she is hideous at singing live. She can barely sustain a note without quivering into her next dance move. That being said, it isn't a big compliment to say she is a far better actress than she is a singer. But she is actually quite good here, even though the script continuously lets her down. I think she may have a future on the big screen after her music fans grow out of her. She has talent that only a good script will highlight... but that is the case with the best of actors. The trick is to choose the right material in the next few years.

Lets be completely honest, the two transcendently sublime shots of Britney in her undies are worth the price of admission alone. If your jaw doesn't drop to the floor in sheer amazement at those shots... you're comatose.

This 'karaoke-girl power-road trip-melodrama' had potential... but missed out because of a lame script and too many cheesy scenes. Britney has a little potential... and I truly didn't expect to say that when I sat down to watch. I hope she doesn't blow it on safe, naive and simplistic movies like this one... but I am sure she will.
