Storyline

Three best friends get together and bury a box, making a pact to open it at midnight at their high school graduation. In the small town in Georgia that they live in, things soon change. One is little miss perfect, one is an engaged prom queen, and the other is a pregnant outcast. On the night of their graduation, they open the box and they strike up a conversation. Suddenly, one brings up the topic of her going to Los Angeles for a record contract audition. They all decide to go together and they leave. With a little money, they set out on the road with a guy named Ben. When one of them tells the other a rumor that he might be a homicidal maniac, they are all scared of him. When they reach Los Angeles, Lucy (Britney Spears) falls in love with Ben and against her father's wishes, she stays and she goes to the audition.

User Reviews

A very funny movie!

I went to see this movie with a couple of freinds, just for the hell of it. I was expecting to be bored out of my skull, but instead laughed more than I have in most comedies that came out this year. This movie is so stupid and cliched that it just becomes funny. Britney can only act when she is taking her clothes off.

The movie sees a couple of childhood friends, that have become separated as they grew older, not by geography but by their different personality's ohhh ahhh. Here the fun sets in we have Virgin girl (Britney), Issue girl and Slut/Pregnant girl. They decide to go on a road trip with, wait for it...the rebel boy ohhhh ahhhhh! He is such a cool misunderstood tough guy ooohhh ahhhhh! Everyone in search of something and bla blah you know the rest, standard formula.

Go watch this if you are in the mood to condescend! Or drunk and just have a laugh.
