Crossroads

Crossroads is not a good movie by any means. Its predictable, cliched, stupid, cheesy and corny. Some of the scenes who are supposed to be taken seriously are laughable.The plot is stupid and the script yes not very good either. But this film is enjoyable on some levels. As for Britney. Her acting was not all that bad. She was actually the only one who was decent in this film. And I am no Britney Fan. She was not good but she was not bad and I Have seen worse. However the other actors were either bad or terrible.
