Synopsis
After eight years apart, three childhood friends - Lucy, Kit, and Mimi - rediscover their friendship on a cross-country trip. With barely a plan, practically no money but plenty of dreams, the girls catch a lift with Mimi's handsome friend Ben in his convertible. Along the way they not only gather experiences that will change their lives, but they also discover how important it is to hold onto their hearts' desires.

New Times (L.A.)
Highbrow self-appointed guardians of culture need not apply, but those who loved "Cool as Ice" have at last found a worthy follow-up. - 40
Slate
So vanilla yet so transcendentally sleazy that its target audience seems to be pubescent girls and dirty old priests. - 40
Film Threat
Spears, Davis, and company are well aware that they're making nothing more than the cinematic equivalent of Spears' glossy bubble gum pop -- but that's exactly the problem. - 40
Salon
The movie is a lumbering load of hokum, but unlike those other recent pop star white elephants -- it's at least watchable. - 38
USA Today
Less a movie than a mind-numbingly dull road trip. - 30
The New Yorker
What it's really about, of course, is the very delicate marketing problem of turning a super-bland pop star into an acceptable human being onscreen. [4 Mar 2002, p. 90] - 20
The A.V. Club
Spears is filmed and costumed in such a harsh, unflattering manner that it looks like Christina Aguilera bribed the crew to make her rival look as hideous as possible. Spears' ubiquity has spawned an inevitable backlash, but the awful Crossroads ought to do more harm to her career than even the most powerful Britney-basher. - 20
Variety
Awfully lame bigscreen debut for pop diva Britney Spears.
