The ancient Romans believed that if a man and a woman wore matching bleached denim catastrophes in public, their souls would meld and they would be forever entwined: thinking the same thoughts, laughing the same laughs, making the same movies. (The ancient Romans loved to build myths around technologies that didn't yet exist. They were just quirky like that.)
It must be true, because just eight short years after Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears aggressively coordinated their jean formal-wear:
and just seven years after Britney made her cinematic coming-of-age-on-a-road-trip-with-guy-she-likes-to-visit-her-mom opus Crossroads, Justin Timberlake is debuting his very own coming-of-age-on-a-road-trip-with-a-girl-he-likes-to-visit-his-mom movie, The Open Road. What other possible explanation is there for Crossroads 2: Justin's Turn?
The trailer doesn't show it, no doubt because the filmmakers don't want to give away the emotional crux of the movie, but I can't wait for the inspirational scene where Justin gently approaches the piano where his girlfriend is picking out a tune, and starts to hum the beginnings of a song that will eventually become his hit single "Sexy/Back."
How else could this movie end?
