Crossroads (The One Where Britney Spears Sings a Lot of Karaoke)

This week on The Worst Movie Podcast, Ade and Aaron tackle Crossroads (2002), the Britney Spears road trip vehicle that earned a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes but turned its $12 million budget into $60 million at the box office. Written by Shonda Rhimes and directed by the woman behind Half Baked and Billy Madison, the film follows three estranged high school friends — played by Spears, Zoe Saldana, and Taryn Manning — as they drive cross-country with a mysterious stranger to chase their dreams. The guys debate Dan Aykroyd's accent, Britney's status as the least convincing nerd in cinema history, and whether a karaoke crowd has ever been that enthusiastic about anything.Send us Fan Mail
