8 years ago. People thought Britney Spears could do no wrong.
She was the biggest popstar on the planet, she was the most powerful celebrity in the world, she even got paid to drink Pepsi (just one of the reasons why Pepsi is my life). And then she released a little movie called 'Crossroads'.
On paper, 'Crossroads' looked like a surefire hit. It starred the most famous person alive. It featured a solid supporting cast. It was even written by the future creator of 'Grey's Anatomy': Shonda Rhimes. The storyline seemed easily attainable and it made sense for Brit Brit to play this character. It just sort of all didn't mesh as well as it could've.
Flashforward to the present time and I as a devout Spears follower had never actually watched 'Crossroads'. I made jokes about it all the time and never actually sat down and realized that I hadn't seen this movie and that was basically a sin for someone like me.
So one day I saw that a new friend of mine had the movie so I of course borrowed it on the spot. THANK YOU B-KOOP. Today my cousin and I sat down and popped our 'Crossroads' cherry. And let me tell you, it wasn't as painful or awkward as people made it out to be.
Britney Spears does NOT deliver a terrible performance at all. It's average at most but not as bad as I thought she would be. Miley was ten times worst in The Last Song. The story itself was not as ridiculous as I thought it would be.
The best part of the whole thing was that Zoe Saldana who was just in the biggest movie of all time plays one of the leads. And what an all-star cast it is: Dan Akroyd, Kim Catrall, Zoe, Taryn Manning, and Justin Long?! I loved it, loved it.
Honestly over all it's a legit movie that I need to rewatch like a thousand times now. Still can't believe fucking Shonda Rhimes wrote it. . . DRAMA.
Slytherin OUT.
