JT’s trailer-teased pairing with ScarJo made its way out a little early, and there’s so much sexual tension in the first thirty seconds alone! This is the director’s cut, so from there it goes on and on and on … the vid is so long we half expected Slash to stroll out of a church with an unplugged Les Paul and start wailing. The actor that Britney Scarlett cheats with is Shawn Hatosy. And the moral: Cheat on JT, and your karmic retribution will be to perish in a fiery automotive disaster. But he’s not bitter or anything.

    The first 2 minutes of this video is porno-like exposition.
    “I happen to think i’m a lot of fun.”
    “Ok well what are you going to do to entertain me?”

  2. As a video I think its a step down from Cry Me A River but meh

  3. rachael  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    Wow.

  4. Theo  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    Directors of Hollywood: please don’t let actors with no training in improvisation improv; no wonder this video’s so long.

    And if even half the stuff about JT’s love life are true, he must have the most exquisite-smelling finger in Hollywood.

    No wonder he’s waving it around. :P

  5. Is it terrible that I adore this song/video?

  6. blahby  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    What a great morale this video had.

  7. Slippi  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    wow, this is awful.

    with every new project scarlett takes on i seem to like here less and less. justin is terrible.

    i hate celebrities.

  8. Sean  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    this man is living my dream
    first he gets to make out with Christina Ricci
    now Scarlett Johansson
    who’s next, Johnny Depp?
    the bastard!!!

    I hate videos that stop in the middle of the song so the singer can ‘act’ and I hate videos that rip off ‘Shoes’ (i’m looking at you, hoola-hoop girl), and I hate videos that are longer then the song itself. Just so you know, Mr. *Nsync.

  10. I miss the Ghost World version of Scarlett … before she got all famous. I still like her, though. The song and the video … Meh!

  11. Michael  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    Who else thinks that when Scarlett asked JT what he’s going to do entertain her, he leaned over and whispered “ITS MY DICK IN A BOX!”

  12. theobvious  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    Didn’t Giggles put out “What goes around comes around” 20 years ago. At least she had a cheesy rap in the middle of it rather than a bad acting moment in a video.

  13. goldend  |   Posted on Feb 10th, 2007

    I am just guessing but i foresee “pedophilia” in his wikipedia bio in a few years, maybe is the only thing that is left for him to copy from Michael Jackson.

  14. oh justin. so grandiose. loves it!

    ps. way to kill scarjo.

  15. stacy  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    Scarlet is one hot piece of ass!!!!! Ladys arnt my thing cos i happen to be one my self but id make an exception for scarlet in that vid.

  16. Jarrett  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    Holy crap. What a cool video… I could do without that last silent cut, but wow. That, and I wish I had half the confidence that JT has, esp at the beginning of that video. Daaaaaamn.

  17. kyle  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    scar-jo can’t act.

  18. Thanks for taking the coolest (and for being almost 8 mins long the most ballsy) song on the album and talking over half of it in a video. The bridge between the two sections is pretty cool, and in this they tossed a fight sequence into it. With that car chase I half expected Keanu Reeves and Paula Abdul to show up. If you’re gonna do a “short film” music video at least have the common courtesy to throw some zombies in it.

  19. YOU TOOK MY DOGS?!?!? (JT on punkd)

  20. Nick  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    I’m very over Sam Bayer’s direction for music videos. After being 16 and falling for American Idiot, i was consistently disappointed with his crappy, melodramatic, uninventive videos. This thing reeks of Wake Me Up When September Ends.

  21. aaron  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    i like this video because it’s the closest to scarlett johannson dying

  22. Toto  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    “Rush,Rush!”

    Yeah Justin, we should all cry you a river and feel sorry cause chicks cheat on you while your on tour across the globe gettting tons of pu-tang and given up Cameron Diaz. I feel so sorry for you.

  23. The Greater God  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    nope. not good.
    first of all, it doesn’t really match with the song and
    secondly I don’t like this burlesque thing that is going on in all videos now. This looks more like a christina aguilera video. (thank you dita von teese)…

    oh and the “story” (note:quotation marks!) is ridiculous.

    i hate watching singers make out in their music videos. it’s about the music justin!

  27. iammacio  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    JT=timbaland-wannbe

    but when it comes to clips he gave up all those fanatic teenagers from N’Sync times for one-chick-in-every-viedo rule… what a sacrifice:P

    btw: screw JT and SJ screwing JT!

  28. Devin  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    I had always kind of hoped that scarlett would blossom into something of an elegant movie star that hearkened back to an actress of the past. The beauty that she exuded in lost in translation was amazing. But with nearly everything since then she’s turned into some uninteresting pop star. It’s kind of depressing that as this devolution started her popularity soared. America

  29. gees, he’s an awful actor, and i can’t stand watching artists make out in their music vids. what’s the fn point.
    this totally reminds me of that gross enrique vid with that kournikova girl. ugh!

  30. Oh I get it…cheat on yer man and you’ll die in a horrible car crash…thanks for the lesson JT, ya nasty bitter fish…ay ay ay…great beat tho.

  31. Leon  |   Posted on Feb 11th, 2007

    THis is one of his best songs on the album, but 9 MINUTES???

    I don’t have the attention span for all that.

    Though it does kinda harken back to the cool days of epic-legnth music videos.

    Michael Jackson did them best.
    And then there was “November Rain” from GnR.

  32. Goon  |   Posted on Feb 12th, 2007

    i love this song, but this video is awful from the get go and it just gets worse. i dont know who approved it to air

  33. Samuel  |   Posted on Feb 12th, 2007

    Obtusity did a pretty good analysis of the video which raised some good points:

    http://obtusity.blogspot.com/2007/02/spinning-in-circles-justin-timberlake.html

    But I still think it’s crap.

  34. Turtlebeak  |   Posted on Feb 16th, 2007

    Totally clichéd and the director was trying too hard. I actually found it embarrassing to watch because of how predictable and cheap the dialogue and plot are. Also, I have to say the song stinks, I can’t believe this is what passes for good music these days. Everyone involved needs to study film and music history a little harder. The one positive thing I can say about this video is the high attention to detail in the costuming and styling of the actors and sets, everything else needs work. I’m so sick of the corporate music machine. By the way, why does everyone want to make karma so cheap and literal? Base, really base.

  35. elli  |   Posted on Feb 16th, 2007

    super!!!!! I love this song and the video is the best!!!

  36. crystal  |   Posted on Feb 16th, 2007

    This video makes the song, sound bad! JUSTIN STAY A SINGER ITS WHAT YOUR GOOD AT.

  37. Iris  |   Posted on Feb 19th, 2007

    I just have to say?I DON?E CARE WHAT POSTINGS CRITICISM SHOW HERE, BUT I HAVE TO SAY ?.. it was the greatest video I have ever seen in music. It captured the drama that involve deception, Infidelity, mislead, betrayed?and deceive. I love it all the way. It meant to me when you play with fire you abound to get burned. And YES, what goes around come around. GREAT JOB.

    And to think he dumped the bald chic to suck face with scarlett…i mean what a step down. NOT!

  40. lynne  |   Posted on Feb 21st, 2007

    Brilliant but sad, go back to Britney Justin she needs you & you still love her. Swallow your pride & put your bitterness behind you

  41. Hawaiian_gurl  |   Posted on Feb 21st, 2007

    Wow this video was very long! Alot of acting (jt stay a singer) n britney needs u! Other than that i love the song and i like da video!

  42. diane  |   Posted on Feb 22nd, 2007

    Wow! Bitter ir what? Time to forgive & forget. Go back to Britney

  43. rachel  |   Posted on Feb 26th, 2007

    he is real good i would like to see

  44. emma  |   Posted on Feb 27th, 2007

    This vid confused me because she cheats and because she cheats she runs of and chases him.. shouldn’t it be the other way around… =S and did she mean to kill herself??….also if this is a dig at Britney then hasn’t he already had one in Cry Me a River?
    Gd song tho.. like his new stuff

  45. The video’s not too bad. What goes around does come around. The chick in da video got what she deserved.

  46. Ned Kelly  |   Posted on Mar 2nd, 2007

    Great song… Lousy video…!

  47. Elisa  |   Posted on Mar 12th, 2007

    I love this video. I generally don’t like when singers try to act in videos – however, Justin is actually a great actor and I think this video was made very well. I really enjoy watching it and look forward to his videos to come.

  48. hajar  |   Posted on Mar 17th, 2007

    no matter ha everybody says thi video stays a hit. it’s great, i love. But, if this video is made to make fun of britney who’s going through hard time these days, then it’s too bad because she needs you justin to stand for her not to add to her wounds. But still you act very well. you’re a god. love ya and all your work. Bravo jusin tu es le meilleur d’eux tous.

  49. danielle  |   Posted on Mar 29th, 2007

    oh my God-i am STILL laughing over the dick in the box comment! and i do remember the giigles song! at least the video brought out these comments! i do like the song, but no video matched the imagery of cry me a river. everything about that video was perfect, including mr.nsync’s performance. he is one talented guy and he knows it!

  52. anni  |   Posted on May 12th, 2007

    hello ,
    please uploaded again ..

  53. Melanie  |   Posted on May 29th, 2007

    Song is great. Video is overacted, but kinda hot. Scarlett is not hot enough for this type of story. Justin needed someone hotter. He’s a good actor, but in this vid, he’s too fake. What comes around goes around and he’ll probably get loads of money for years to come…

  54. conan  |   Posted on Jun 25th, 2007

    this music r vry great and vid r pretty gud but i don`t like Scarlett!!!!!!!! yeah if Justin chose Jessica Alba it will the best vid of this year

  55. nico  |   Posted on Jul 3rd, 2007

    Who cares about the music? Who cares about the video? OHMYGOODNESS, what about the Corvette Stingray that Scarlett drives? Please tell me that it’s okay and they wrecked a fake one for the video…
