Crossroads (2002)

Tamra Davis directs Britney Spears, Zoe Saldana and Taryn Manning in the teen drama where three disparate elementary school friends reunite and go on a road trip after their high school graduation.

A mixed bag but not as awful as its reputation. Any movie that opens with the one-two punch of prime Britney dancing in her skimpies to Madonna and then rejecting Justin Long in nothing but baby pink lingerie is gonna be worth a revisit. The melodrama that follows is pleasant enough, though the hot button big issues it invokes are rather fudged. Taryn Manning is excellent.
