Thinkin'AboutYou Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I just got done watching Crossroads for the millionth time, and I still love it just as much as I did the first time I saw it. Maybe I'm a little biased because Britney's in it, but I seriously enjoy every part of it! It's just fun, entertaining, and full of great Brit moments. Anyone else really enjoy Crossroads? 4 Link to comment

Super Mods Puppy Posted January 30, 2020 Super Mods Share Posted January 30, 2020 It’s a cute movie, it’s definitely a chick flick which is okay because she set out to make a chick flick. It’s not my absolute favorite but I love watching it for nostalgia and just love the girls chemistry. 4 Link to comment
Charlotte_the_Harlot Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It's a shame she never get a chance to appear in more movies, like Gaga or Rihanna did. Her prime was in a time when screenwriters seen pop stars completely different, like cute/stupid **** for teenagers only. Now they know pop stars can bring more attention to the movie. I wish I could see her in more serious role, something for older public. Can you imagine Britney in a sci fi movie? That would be so amazing 5 Link to comment

I thought her acting was really good in Crossroads, it would've been amazing to see her in other genres. Spaceney would incredible. 2 Link to comment

She seems to be tired of performing and doing shows, maybe acting would be kind of renaissance for her career. New beginning after getting back her freedom. 3 Link to comment

NormaJeanSpears Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 she should've been allowed to put off recording heavy for a while (maybe release in the zone in summer of early fall of 2004, slowly record it through mid 2003-mid 2004) & really had more effort put into crossroads and her acting skills imo. she was a competent actor and most reviews iirc highlighted her acting as either one of the highlights and above expectations, surprisingly decent, etc or at least standard and not what made the movie a dud. they should've made it a more solid storyline, and less "look! britney spears in a movie!". it was a commercial success anyway actually, and didn't have a huge budget but grossed well. look at some of her fellow popstars, beyonce's first feature film (autstin powers gold member) was a commercial success with a ~60 something million dollar budget, and her first feature film that was clearly a BEYONCE movie grossed ~32.7M against a budget of ~30M, not even enough for a sequel, and madonna's first big role in shanghai suprise was a massive bomb with a deficit, and both bad reviews (esp shanghai suprise), yet crossroads grossed ~61M against a tiny *** budget ~12M....like, thats a huge success yet people laugh @ crossroads but aint out here talking about much worse fairing films of her peers...annoying 1 Link to comment
AmorProhibido Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I think Crossroads is a much better film than a lot of people, including the fans, give it credit for. I love it partially out of nostalgia, partially because it's a pretty good movie in my opinion. The heavier topics it deals with were not only handled well, but gave it an edge over most chick flicks. Not to mention Britney's acting is great and she clearly enjoyed doing it. But critics will never like Britney, nor the GP it seems. Both deadpanned it instantly and now no one even bothers to watch it before talking **** about it. 2 Link to comment
YeezusChrist Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I wish she did action movies. Her Vs Austin Powers was such a nice tease. 4 Link to comment

I've seen that trilogy at least 200 times and I still manage to forget she was in Goldmember her scene in that movie is so iconic. 1 Link to comment
nerdygeekgrl Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I like it. It's one of those teen flicks and very nostalgic for me. 1 Link to comment
SUPERJACK Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Her monologue in the restroom after Lucy found out her mother doesn’t love her... I dare Brit to do THAT again 1 Link to comment
Avatar Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Shes the best part about the movie, the direction and script are the worse part. You can tell Jive got involved and was like it needs more Britney Spears and performances so we can sell the music. Her singing and wanting to do music in the story should have been just the karaoke and writing poems. Not turning into Britney Spears at the end. Link to comment
