As stated above, you already know if you are going to like this film or not.

In my case not. I simply do not want to accept that after the 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' music video she believes her audience is young girls... talk about over-sexualisation and exploitation.

Anyway- the film. I found that it gave out the wrong messages to begin with; the idea that you have to have sex to be a 'someone' in school. I thought then Britney was going to find true love... but she just sleeps with some guy she went on a roadtrip with. Fair enough they seemed to 'love' each other, but it just went back to the idea of 'you have to have sex to be cool' template and rushed their relationship alltogether.

Also, it is very very sickly. Bubbly pink and retchingly predictable.

The main thing for me was that each scene seemed to have a point that needed to come across, obviously, but it was the rushed nature of how they were presented that got me. If you pop to the toilet for 5mins, chances are you will miss something big because progression is done at break-neck pace. Similarly, the characters are backwards and forwards... friends, not friends, able to punch to resorting to a cat-fight.... it doesn't really make sense.

However, I couldn't bring myself to give this one star... simply because I never give films one star... there is always something to salvage. In the case of this film, it kept my girlfriend happy. To be fair, it's not aimed at me (an adult male incase you couldn't tell)... and as much as I would say to anyone and everyone... IT'S AWFUL DON'T WATCH IT... you probably will, and you'll probably like it too.
