Movie Reviews of On the Line
Movie Review: a young love in the big city movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Not exactly a teen movie or a chick flick but with elements of both this is a pretty predictable boy finds girl,
both loses girl, boys finds girl again.
The acting is sort of minimal with the female lead being probably the most believable. The music is very trendy and new century, but at times not as good as billed?
Over all it was an entertaining movie:
a fluff piece.
Summary of On the Line
Starring pop sensations Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, and with the music of 'N Sync, Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, and Vitamin C, here's a hilarious romantic comedy! Kevin (Bass) has everything going for him, but when he discovers Abbey -- the girl of his dreams -- next to him on a train, he fails to get her name and number. Thinking he missed his golden opportunity, Kevin launches a massive campaign to find Abbey ... and soon becomes the target of every young woman's affections! But the fates seem determined to reunite Abbey and Kevin, proving that love will never get away if you put your heart ON THE LINE!Befitting its boy-band sensibility, On the Line is an amiable vehicle for 'N Sync's Lance Bass, who makes his star-producer debut with this bright-eyed romantic comedy. Bass plays a Chicago adman who meets the girl of his dreams (newcomer Emmanuelle Chriqui) on the "L" train but fails to get her name and phone number. His roommates (including 'N Sync bandmate Joey Fatone) devise a scheme to find the elusive "L-train girl," and like the similarly plotted Serendipity, this love-struck scenario plays out with standard-issue subplots and supporting characters, propelled by a pleasant pop soundtrack and a soulful appreciation for the music of Al Green (who makes one of several celebrity cameos). On the Line was sanitized for a younger audience (with obvious dubbing to replace cruder language), but the squeaky-clean approach is refreshing, even when an end-credit sequence (featuring 'N Sync's Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake) suggests a comedic vitality that the rest of the movie lacks. --Jeff Shannon
