Review of Crossroads (2002) by Liz M — 02 Aug 2013
After what can only be referred to as a Britney binge (blasting Britney's top hits in a nostalgic frenzy) I decided to watch Crossroads for the first time since its' release when I was a mere 11 years old.
What I expected was a heartwarming, coming of age movie full of smiles and rainbows.
What I experienced was the death of my childhood. Honestly. There are sexual references throughout this movie from the get go. Never mind the (spoiler alert) Britney tossing her v card away to a man that, 30 minutes previously, she was convinced had killed a man. Sweet J, Brit. No wonder I was such a messed up teenager.
This movie still scores a 3/5 because it is all harmless fun (minus the TRAUMATIC event towards the end that our heroines are bothered about for all of 5 minutes and two kleenexes). And I suppose, in a way, it IS a coming of age movie, just less in a 3 gals on a road trip cross country discovering themselves kinda way and more of a Britney just confessed that she's touched a penis kinda way.
