Multimillion-selling recording artist Britney Spears makes the transition to the big screen with this teen road trip romantic comedy, co-produced by the film branch of the entity that first brought her pop stardom, MTV. Crossroads casts Spears as Lucy, the shy valedictorian of her high school graduating class. On the night of their prom, Lucy and her once-close childhood friends -- the prim and proper Kit (Zoe Saldana) and the tomboyish, five-months-pregnant Mimi (Taryn Manning) -- reunite to dig up a time capsule they buried together as little girls. Mimi's about to make good on her childhood dreams; she's leaving their small Southern town for hopes of fame and fortune in Los Angeles. Though Lucy and Kit are reluctant to join her, they decide to tag along at the last minute, agreeing to be chauffeured by Mimi's just-out-of-jail friend, Ben (Anson Mount). As they trek across the country, plagued by car problems, unsanitary motels, and petty bickering, the three friends reveal meaningful secrets to each other, and Lucy begins to realize that the handsome, reticent Ben might just be the guy for her. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide

Britney Spears' movie debut arrives on DVD in a package tailored to teens. Crossroads is presented in anamorphic widescreen 1.85:1, with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Both English and French soundtrack options are available, along with English subtitles. A multitude of special features are available. The more mundane extras include a "Photo Gallery," three "Trailer & TV Spots" and the "DVD Credits." Three different "Featurettes" give behind the scenes views. "The Making of Crossroads: 40 Days With Britney" is an insider's look at the movie and it includes cast and crew interviews. "Taryn's T-Shirts" is a How-To piece that gives detailed instructions by Taryn Manning on creating the retro t-shirts the trio wore in the New Orleans Karaoke scene. "First in Line: Inside the Crossroads Premiere" is hosted by Zoe Saldana who gives an intimate look at the excitement and exhaustion of a premiere. Several "Deleted Scenes" are included with On-Camera Introductions by Director Tamra Davis. A number of humorous outtakes involving Lucy's (Spears) lab partner, Henry (Justin Long) trying unsuccessfully to seduce her make this piece especially worth watching. A "Commentary by Producer Ann Carli, Director Tamra Davis & Writer Shonda Rhimes" gives amusing anecdotes about the actresses involved. It could not be a Britney DVD if "Music Videos" of "Overprotected" and "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" were not included. Spears' involvement is found in "Britney's DVD Welcome" and "Break Through Britney," a Pop-Up extra that allows viewers to see Britney break through the movie in a small pink bubble to share her personal memories. Two features appealing to the Pop star wannabe are "Edit Your Own Music Video" which allows participants to choose the order of video sequences in Britney's "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" video and "Sing Along With Britney" which includes Karaoke videos of "Overprotected" and "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman." On a whole, Crossroads' DVD is a great package that should leave fans "Anticipating" more work from Britney as an actress. ~ Terri Clark, All Movie Guide
