DVD Reviews of Crossroads
DVD Review: This loyal fan doesn't like Crossroads.
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a loyal fan of Britney's since Baby One More Time, and I do not like this movie. It is boring, cheesy, and talks down to her fans. Far from Mandy Moore's A Walk to Remember, which was worth, well, remembering.DVD Review: Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was a really cute movie. And as in other reviews I didn't think the acting was that bad. Some people have to realize Britney isn't an actor she is a singer. So you can't compare Britney's acting to some like Kirsten Dunst, or Julia Roberts.DVD Review: worse than nothing
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie was a waste of time, energy, and money. It should never have been released. Britney may have played a silly young receptionist on a recent tv episode and appeared to do well but that is also a back to back comparison of insane britney and a step back up for her. I'm glad she's doing better, but let's face it, the girl can't sing worth a damn and she certainly could not act her way out of a paper bag when Crossroads was made. She might do better now in an insipid role like the "Mother" episode. I bought Crossroads from an amazon seller several years ago for 1 cent plus shipping, and it was a waste of the 1 cent and certainly of the shipping. I tried to give it away but nobody would take it so I finally tossed it in the trash.DVD Review: Dissapointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Was very dissapointed with this DVD. It arrived in the package scratched. The DVD was not in it's holder. DVD Review: A Dark Dramatic Experiment : Who Knew Britney Could Act?
Summary: 3 Stars
All I knew about this movie was that Britney was in it, and that it spawned the ballad hit "Not a Girl (Not Yet a Woman)". Still, deciding to give it a fair chance, I watched this with less than zero expectations.
What a shocker. This was not at all the fluffy teen coming-of-age comedy that I thought it would be. Instead, what we get is a dark, sombre and chilling meditation on adolescent life, and none of the lead characters are perfect angels. One of them is pregnant, one is chronically obsessed with herself, and the other is looking for her birth mother.
Perhaps the saddest, most poignant scene here is when Britney, who is in search of her biological mother, finally lands up at her mothers' door. This entire segment plays out like some of the best indie cinema I've seen. Her mother tells her that she hates her and regrets the day she was born. How realistic! No happy ending here. Watching the young Miss Spears pull off this mature scene with the most nuanced facial expressions, I was quite taken with her actual acting ability. She's not Meryl Streep, but she does have a certain *something*.
Yes, the film does have its' cheesy moments (the male lead is thoroughly wasted), and the gratuitous performance of the horrid "I Love Rock and Roll" by Britney at a karaoke bar is perhaps the most annoying thing here. But there is much to rediscover and love about this film. If you've ever seen it at your local Blockbuster or if you've seen it on discount sale and never thought of picking it up, well here is a very strong recommendation that you should!
"Crossroads" is not a Britney film. Its more like a sad, slow-moving independent film with heart. What a surprise!
Description of Crossroads
Three childhood best friends and a guy they just met take a trip across the country finding themselves and their friendship in the process. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/04/2005 Starring: Britney Spears Zoe Saldana Run time: 93 minutes Rating: Pg3 Director: Tamra DavisPop idol Britney Spears stars in this sweet coming-of-age movie about three childhood friends who've grown apart, but find out they may still have a lot in common. After graduating from high school, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoe Saldana), and Mimi (Taryn Manning) decide to take a road trip to L.A. to audition for a record label. Along the way, there's a lot of heartbreak and female bonding (not to mention a lot of midriff-baring--in her first scene, Spears jumps on her bed in her underwear, singing along to a Madonna song), as each of the three girls learns more about herself and life. Crossroads could have been trite schmaltz, but the script has some grit and the direction is fresh and relaxed--and, most significantly, Spears is far more sympathetic and engaging than you might expect. Also featuring Dan Aykroyd and Kim Cattrall. --Bret Fetzer
