QueerVamp20 3 friends bury their dreams in a box, making a pact to return after graduating from high school to dig it up. Being that they are children when they bury it, some time goes by and they are now in high school. None of them are close anymore - but somehow they all manage to set aside their (almost) hate for each other, and meet at the spot to dig up their box of childhood dreams. Randomly, they all decide to go on a road trip so Mimi can audition to be a singer. Britney plays the goodie good girl - and Kit is the snob who's engaged - and Mimi is the pregnant one who wants to be a singer. A guy is driving them, and sparks ignite between Britney and him. The rest is to be discovered after you watch the movie. It has a good story and is worth watching - Britney Spears is good in this - and so are her side kicks. Join these girls as they reignite friendship, pursue dreams, and stand up for what they know is right...each other.

JiggaManYup Out of pure boredom I decided to watch this movie on Netflix. Maybe I was expecting way too much for a teen road-trip movie but this was just bad i.m.o. It starts off with a group of girls, who are "bff's" burying a box and making a pact to come back years later and dig it back up. It goes right to "eight years later" and all of a sudden the girls are no longer friends without any type of explanation as to why. They go dig up the box and the pregnant girl says "hey I'm going to California on Sunday" and they all decide to go even though they just hated each other in the previous scene and the whole point of the trip is that the pregnant girl is going to audition for a record company, although you basically never hear the girl sing. At the end, Britney is the one who ends up singing at the audition, which makes no sense really if you're going by what the plot is supposed to be. I'm rambling. Bad acting, Britney is not a good vocalist, and the movie is just boring and pointless. Zoey Saldana and Dan Akroyd couldn't even make this movie enjoyable. The plot jumps all over the place and...I just want the 90 minutes of time I spent watching this movie to be given back.

Howlin Wolf For a while there, I thought that I was going to be in genuine danger of having to admit that I liked this movie. For the first forty minutes it was a warm, if slightly generic, road movie about the positives of friendship and following your dreams... Then, after that point, I started to feel it turn into a Steel Magnolias clone. It was now apparently the type of film where the girls all sit around in a sewing circle, and discuss their problems. I suppose this is fine if you feel like these are real issues and you can relate to them, but when they feel as though they've been cribbed from the pages of 'Dear Abby... ', you stop suspending your disbelief that these are real people, and start seeing them for what they are: Stock Movie Characters.Going along with the well-worn movie tradition, the guy our heroine gets with has to be 'hot', and not the slightly awkward, geeky schoolfriend that she actually shares a little bit of a rapport with. That's Movie Law - don't lose your virginity to someone you have a little bit of history with, lose it instead to the hunk you've only just met who has a heartbreaking backstory and abs chiseled from stone, but lacks the facility of meaningful conversation. Hey, why talk much when you can just beat up sleazy jerks in bars and win the girl's affection that way, right?!The first half of the film actually has a path that seems like it might be leading somewhere... until suddenly, that trail goes cold, and the rest of the movie is essentially just a visually 'inspirational' pep talk for Spears' status as a teen role model. It's a shame too, because Spears' performance as a whole suggests she would be capable of handling more diverse requirements. Sadly, these don't appear to be in the play- by-play manual followed by the makers. Eventually, the clichés win out, as we all must have suspected they would do, in the first place.

wes-connors Three small-town Georgia girls bury a memory box, pledging to open it together when they are high school graduates. Eight years later, they meet to open the box, and bond over the contents. Pretty blonde Britney Spears (as Lucy Wagner) takes the lead as she, sassy homecoming queen Zoe Saldana (as Kit), and punky pregnant Taryn Manning (as Mimi) decide to drive to Los Angeles with dimpled stranger Anson Mount (as Ben Kimble), who they fear may be homicidal. But he is very good-looking...An 18-year-old virgin, Ms. Spears has neither "seen one" nor "touched one," until meeting Mr. Mount.Spears' two female friends share a shocking sexual connection. Spears gets the guys and underwear scenes, but the other cast members play the better parts. The sexy scenes are over early. The opening highlight features Spears' mouthing Madonna's "Open Your Heart" in her underwear. A little later, she appears in pink bra and panties, with boxer-clad Justin Long. There isn't much more to see. Begging your pardon, to those of you watching for performances and plot, my condolences.** Crossroads (2/11/02) Tamra Davis ~ Britney Spears, Anson Mount, Zoe Saldana, Taryn Manning
