It was surprisingly good! Honestly, I expected another "SpiceWorld" or "Glitter" but it turned out to be the ONLY
chick flick that I've actually ever enjoyed. Although it did have its faults... it was really rushed... Especially the beginning, you see them at high school, but they didnt build on character enough. the scenes were too short. Before you know it, they were already on the road and performing I Love Rock N Roll before you really know anything about them. And the characters didnt follow through. Like, Kit's ditzy popularity faded WAY too fast, and you would never know that Lucy was a nerd unless you saw the beginning. But other than that it was Excellent. I'd have to say Mimi was my favourite character. She seemed to have more depth than the rest.

I really liked the movie. Britney can act!! When she got back to the hotel from visiting her mom, i almost cried with her. That was so sad!

The scene during the record label audition reminded me of the danceoff final scenes in Girls Just Want to Have Fun. It was essentially was done in a very similiar manner(the way the dad disapproved and then is happy and the way they shot Dan A. during those scenes was the exact same way they shot Janey's Dad in GJWTHF.) My favorite scene was when the girls took over the car!! LMAO!

Hey you guys, what was your favorite part of Crossroads. I really enjoyed the beginning with Lucy and Henry. And how Henry puts all that powder on. And then when Lucy walks out, she dusts it off of him. Everyone in the theatre was laughing at that part. What are your favorite parts?

I think thrill house will agree when I say that I was quite fond of the first scene that Britney was in. And the Henry scene was pretty good too... I liked the list... But I would have to say my fave scene was the Karaoke scene... dont have any thing to back that up with it was just a good scene.

Oh ya I agree! What straight guy wouldn't? I liked the car scene, right after Ben woke up, and freaked put about them borrowing the car, funny stuff.

The bit where the girls were driving the car and Ben woke up and start goin all crazy shit by the side of the road just sent me into hysterics. I really did like the I love rock and roll bit though, that was totally class
