This trope is averted by writer Shonda Rhimes; while she might not consider it a high point for her career, she's also defended this film against its detractors and said that the critics "didn't get it."

* CreatorBacklash: In later years, Britney Spears admitted that she didn't put enough effort into learning to act and thought that she could just show up on-set and essentially play herself, which ended up hurting the film. However, in Literature/TheWomanInMe she actually says the ''opposite'' is true, that she was trying so hard to become Lucy that she didn't even know who she was anymore and had only snapped out of it a few months after filming.

* CreatorKiller: In addition to torpedoing Britney Spears as both an actress and film producer from the get-go, the film also wrecked the career of director Tamra Davis, who hasn't directed a single theatrically-released film -- aside from a few self-produced documentaries -- in the years since, and has been working almost entirely in television. Averted, however, by screenwriter Creator/ShondaRhimes, whose career wasn't harmed in the slightest by working on this film.
