Chaotic Review

First, some thoughts on Britney herself. Although most people don't believe me, I actually first became a fan because of her music, not because of how incredibly hot she was. I then saw her Las Vegas concert on HBO, and was hooked. I began watching interviews, and other shows ("documentaries" on MTV, VH1, etc.) about her, and have been following her ever since, mostly because a) her music rocks, b) she's hot and c) it never ceases to amaze me how Britney Spears can switch between being cute/goofy and sexy. Oh, and she also has been quite successful at conveying an image of being a regular down-to-earth person, as opposed to the images that the media portrays (she's a whore, a bitch, etc.).

So, on to the show. The majority of it is filmed by Britney, and it seems that other shows held back (perhaps out of fear of embarrasing her). She is actually much more open and even a bit annoying as she asks anyone who will listen incredibly personal questions "What's your opinion on marriage and commitment?" "What's your favorite sexual position?"

Within the hour, Britney goes from feeling lonely and empty to inviting a guy she hardly met (Kevin) to come tour with her. It's a bizarre transition for what will probably be a bizarre show. Then again, it is quite entertaining, mostly because it's Britney Spears.

Grade: A+ (If Britney just sat on her sofa and stared at the camera for an hour, the grade would be the same)
