Featured reviews
Out of all the people, I admit that I bash Britney Spears all the time. But I saw this movie because my 2 best friends and my boyfriend wanted to see this. And we actually thought this was a cute movie. And it's funny, our friendship is like the one in this movie. There's the sexy one, there's the smart one, there's the one who wants to make it big, and of course my boyfriend. Of course it's not oscar worthy, or the movie of the year. But it's cute. Kind of cheesy, but fun. So what if you're not a Britney Spears fan, if you hate this movie just because someone you don't like is in it, you have to be a pretty shallow person. So stop acting like you know everything about movies. I'm not a pre-teen, but I liked it. So like I said, just admit that it was cute. Like people are going to contact you and praise you for making fun of this movie.

Cliched, yes. Corny, yes.
But compared to so much other pretentious crap out there that pretends to be more than it is this movie is ok and worth a chance. Perfectly watchable.
To those complaining, you are watching the movie from the characters POV (teens/young adult) and they talk/act appropriately. Make some poor choices, struggle with choices, want answers, want adventure....don't we all at some point?
I think alot of the hate is from people who secretly enjoyed it ;) Hell of a lot worse out there than this.

The movie has a low rating, mostly because people hate that Britney Spears is it, that's it. It's in no way a cinematic masterpiece, but it's also not offensively bad as some people say.
It is a very average teen movie, nostalgic for some because they saw it growing up, or just a silly flick for others. The script is not good, but it has some heartfelt moments - as well as a cast that will surprise you. Did NOT expect to see Dan Aykroyd or Kim Cattrall.

I love Crossroads because it's so terrible. Definitely one of the best "worst movies" I've ever seen, it tells the story of how Britney Spears looks like a fashion model and acts like an angel while still managing to be the most unpopular girl at school. Sob, sob! Incredibly awful and idiotic drama coupled with sickeningly sweet romance make this one a not-to-be-missed...if you're the sort to love MST3K, that is. Sure, Britney can't act too well, but she can sing, and this movie is actually a LOT better than Glitter, Mariah Carey's similarly-themed vehicle. (And by "better", I mean "less boring and self-indulgent.") It's been two years since I saw Crossroads and I still remember it vividly. It's a cult classic--moronic, worthless, contrived, and hilariously awful.
3 friends bury their dreams in a box, making a pact to return after graduating from high school to dig it up. Being that they are children when they bury it, some time goes by and they are now in high school. None of them are close anymore - but somehow they all manage to set aside their (almost) hate for each other, and meet at the spot to dig up their box of childhood dreams. Randomly, they all decide to go on a road trip so Mimi can audition to be a singer. Britney plays the goodie good girl - and Kit is the snob who's engaged - and Mimi is the pregnant one who wants to be a singer. A guy is driving them, and sparks ignite between Britney and him. The rest is to be discovered after you watch the movie. It has a good story and is worth watching - Britney Spears is good in this - and so are her side kicks. Join these girls as they reignite friendship, pursue dreams, and stand up for what they know is right...each other.

- TriviaAnson Mount was initially reluctant to accept the role of Ben - finding the script to be "cheesy" and "lame" - but was encouraged by Robert De Niro, with whom he was working at the time on City by the Sea (2002). De Niro turned out to be a huge Britney Spears fan. They went over scenes from 'Crossroads' on breaks from 'City by the Sea,' with Mount reading his lines and De Niro reading Spears'.
- GoofsWhen Lucy is on the phone to her dad and everyone is loading up the car outside the second hotel, Mimi is putting her stuff in the trunk of the car. You see Mimi look over at someone, shrug her shoulders and say, "What?" The directors were telling her that she was in Lucy's shot.
