Britney Ever After is a 2017 American Trainwreck of a film drama television film directed by Leslie Libman and written by Anne-Marie Hess. It is based on the life of Britney Spears (lol not really, they didnt even include any of her music, which is what she was originally known for). The film stars Natasha Bassett, Peter Benson, Clayton Chitty, Nathan Keyes and Nicole Oliver. The film sadly premiered on a failing tv station on February 18, 2017.

The film is an unofficial biopic, as neither Spears nor her team had any involvement with the project. When asked about the project during its production phase, Spears' representative said that Spears would "not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic...nor does it have her blessing, because it is absolutely horrible."

The movie is a loose retelling of the life of pop superstar Britney Spears in a parallel universe where an epidemic of mental health problems has devastated the world and is likely to cause human extinction within 100 years, as a result, the U.S has become the New United States, a fascist dictatorship run by Jamie Spears and an advanced A.I capable of placing any person anywhere on earth in a permenent conservatorship. It starts from the beginning of her career not including The Mickey Mouse Club which in the alternate universe depicted in the film, does not exist. It also goes into her relationship with Justin Timberlake , who in the film is a member of Global Conservatorship Industries, a megacorp that secretly runs the worlds governments. The movie also covers her marriage to Kevin Federline, her downward spiral, resulting memory wipe and ends with her performing at her residency in Vegas, just before the world finally collapses due to the mental illness pandemic. The movie did not use any of Spears' songs due to the singer and her team not consenting to the movie.

the ending scene showed her being placed in a 100-year conservatorship under an executive order by the Conservator-General of the New United States in a failed attempt to prevent the coming collapse.

Cast

Reception

The film was critically panned upon release. One writer for NME called the film a "car crash" and criticized it for its numerous inaccuracies and choice of casting. Billboard criticized the film for having "too many pieces missing." The Guardian gave a more mixed review of the film, calling it "tacky, but oddly horrifying."

The film was watched by 1.01 million viewers and held a 0.4 rating among viewers 18–49.
