Trivia:

Anson Mount was originally reluctant to play Ben, but was encouraged by Robert De Niro, with whom he was working at the time on City by the Sea (2002), who turned out to be a huge Spears fan. They went over scenes on break from "Sea", with Mount reading his role and De Niro reading Britney's.

Goofs:

Continuity: After the "I love rock n' roll" song, Ben starts counting the money and the tip jar is on the table. In the next and rest of the shots the tip jar is not there.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Young Mimi: Hand me the flashlight.
Young Lucy: Here it is.
Young Mimi: Kit, I've got the shovel.
Young Kit: You do?
Young Mimi: Lucy, get the box.

It needs to be slapped - hard!

This movie is a prime example of BAD movies. I watched it during a sneak-preview, and boy am I happy that I didn't have to pay for it.

This is crap. It's so bad that I don't even know where to start. The only good thing about it is that it ends - and that if you rented it you can turn it off.

This movie is exactly like Britney's music: It's unoriginal, full of clichés and is a huge ego-trip from Britney. All the other actors are there only to enhance Britney.

Personally, I want to slap everyone involved in this project, and ask them "what were you thinking???"
