Critic Reviews
Not only makes excellent use of the singer's sweetly coltish acting abilities, but it also promotes a standardized set of sturdy values with none of Mariah Carey's desperate ''Glitter,'' or any of Mandy Moore's gummy pap in ''A Walk to Remember.''
Read the full reviewPackaged fluff aimed low, and patronizingly, at Spears's legion of young female fans.
Read the full reviewFascinating in its own strange way, not as entertainment but as a cultural document.
Read the full reviewEverything she (Spears) does seems diluted and secondhand and is never transformed into something original or indelibly self-expressive.
Read the full reviewSo vanilla yet so transcendentally sleazy that its target audience seems to be pubescent girls and dirty old priests.
Read the full reviewI went to Crossroads expecting a glitzy bimbofest and got the bimbos but not the fest. Britney Spears' feature debut is curiously low-key and even sad.
Read the full reviewNot a music video, not yet a movie, but more like an extended-play advertisement for the Product that is Britney.
Read the full reviewIn a way, it's probably unfair to blame director Tamra Davis exclusively for this debacle. After all, she's toiling in the shadow of a would-be multi-media superstar, making her essentially a hired gun.
Read the full reviewAwfully lame bigscreen debut for pop diva Britney Spears.
Read the full reviewSpears acquits herself as well as anyone might, in a movie as contrived and lazy as this one.
Read the full reviewSpears is filmed and costumed in such a harsh, unflattering manner that it looks like Christina Aguilera bribed the crew to make her rival look as hideous as possible. Spears' ubiquity has spawned an inevitable backlash, but the awful Crossroads ought to do more harm to her career than even the most powerful Britney-basher.
Read the full reviewIt does wonders to a critic to know that [Britney] could be a continuing font of teen and post-teen kitsch for years to come.
