Britney's TV role praised by critics
Posted by Will Parkhouse
Britney Spears' decision to appear in US sitcom How I Met Your Mother has apparently paid off, drawing praise from the critics and giving the show a big ratings boost.
Pulling in a hefty 10.67m viewers – the show's highest ever figures – the extended cameo saw La Spears playing a daft receptionist at a tattoo-removal surgery.
"Britney looked as adorable last night as she did waaay back when," said the New York Post’s Linda Stasi. “[She] appeared fresh-faced and relaxed, capably filling the small role,” intoned AP's Erin Carlson. And David Hinckley of the New York Daily News unintentionally delivered what some might have seen as a backhanded compliment, writing, “Spears proved she can act every bit as well as she can sing.”
Anyway, in case you missed it, here's a clip which combines all Britters' moments into one slightly confusing mulch.
While it’s probably safe to say she’s not the next Gielgud, Britney's ditzy perkiness is undeniably winning. What did you think?
