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. Crossroads received generally unfavorable reviews from contemporary critics, who considered it a "dull road trip" film. The film received a total of twelve award nominations. It won two, however, for Worst Actress and Worst Original Song at the 23rd Golden Raspberry Awards. Despite being panned by critics, Crossroads grossed $5.2 million on its opening day, debuting at number two on the Box Office, just behind John Q.

Three friends (Lucy, Kit and Mimi) get together and bury a box making a pact to open it at midnight at their high school graduation. By the time the girls get to high school, things change. One is Little Miss Perfect, one is an engaged prom queen, and the other is a pregnant outcast. The night of graduation, they open the box and start talking again. The objects they left inside remind them of the dreams they had as children; Mimi wanted to travel to California, Lucy wanted to see her mother again, and Kit wanted to get married. Mimi brings up the topic of going to Los Angeles for a record contract audition. They all decide to go together; Lucy to visit her mom (Kim Cattrall) in Arizona and Kit to visit her fiancee in Los Angeles, and they set out on the road with little money in a yellow 1969 Buick Skylark convertible with a guy named Ben.
