'''''Crossroads''''' is a 2002 comedy-drama road-trip film directed by Tamra Davis and starring American recording artist [[Britney Spears]], [[Zoe Saldaña]]<ref>Went onto do the [[Avatar (franchise)|Avatar films]] with [[James Cameron]]</ref> and [[Taryn Manning]].<ref>Also in [[8 Mile]] with [[Eminem]]</ref>
 
Written by Shonda Rhimes, the film tells the coming of age story of Lucy (Spears) and her childhood best friends Kit (SaldanaSaldaña) and Mimi (Manning) as they take a cross-country road trip, finding themselves and their friendship in the process. The film also stars Dan Aykroyd (From [[Ghostbusters]]) as Lucy's father, Kim Cattrall (From [[Sex and the City]]) as Lucy's mother, and Anson Mount (From [[All the Boys Love Mandy Lane]]) as Ben.
 
The script for the film was developed specifically for the singer by herself and her team. Filming began in March 2001, taking place in Spears' home state, Louisiana, as well as Los Angeles, California. Britney wanted "a movie with meaning which didn't talk down to her peers and dealt with real issues" and no one can doubt it deals with real issues, pregnancy, cheating, running away, runaway parents to name a few. It's also subtly written enough that her younger fans around the time could understand it.
