tnrcooper I remember when the film was released, it was tied to the popularity of 'N Sync and attempted to capitalize on that. I must admit, Joey Fatone shows the charisma which enabled him to convincingly carry off a role in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and as a host of a game show on TV now. Lead Lance Bass, however, has all the energy of a wet fish and really does not seem committed to convincing the audience that he is plausible as a romantic lead. (Quite apart from the fact that it turns out he is gay....it has nothing to do with his romantic chemistry or lack thereof) Anyway, the N Sync guys all seem like nice guys, but this is not the best film. I was glad to see Al Green in the film and Dave Foley is a welcome addition to any cast, but his brown-haired friend seemed unconvincing and rather manic and his other preppier friend seemed as though he had stumbled on this acting part by accident, so passionless was he. Emanuelle Chiriqui seemed charismatic enough in the small part made possible for her and it foreshadowed her prominent role in HBO's "Entourage". Some of the most cringe-inducing bits were the supposed enthusiasm of Chicagoans for the successful resolution of Kevin (Lance Bass)'s search for the girl (Chiriqui) who he had seen on the train but whose contact information he had not got. Having lived in big cities most of my life, I know that people would sooner stick a dull stake through their hearts than betray even the slightest emotion or make eye contact with someone on public transportation and yet when Kevin's attempt to connect with the girl who he had let get away becomes public, it is as though "West Side Story" or "Oklahoma" or some energetic musical has broken out in the movie and tired commuters all of a sudden have a deep passion for the success of a romance between two people they know nothing about. The speech by two of Kevin's friends in an attempt to gussy up interest for finding the One Who Got Away, on a subway train, which is half-hearted and hoaky anyway, and which receives applause runs counter to everything I have ever found taking public transportation in a large city. One would sooner walk to work on one's hands than give even the slightest recognition to someone who attempts to elicit public interest in anything, on public transportation. The goofy love-story, sure, some girls (and maybe some gay men who would looooove to meet Lance Bass) may enjoy and it is harmless, if hoaky. It was the depiction of public environments made to appear as carnival spaces which was the funniest and most implausible aspect of the film, for me.

sovzapata If ever IMDb needed a negative 10 this is the case. This movie is such a contrived piece of garbage in all aspects. Terrible acting, horrible stereotypes, sheer idiocy. If people in the United States actually like this movie it goes to show why the world hates the country. It goes to prove the creative forces of the United States are being put top such tawdry utility. This movie is an absolutely awful piece of rubbish, and made me seriously think about going POSTAL at random. Its that bad! Clichés a plenty and delight to the idiot teens who think this movie is good. And might I add that its the idiot country folk who think this movies good, just saying, America, this is you.

whygodmaderobert WELL I am 38 and I watched the movie today.. I MUST say its great and lots of youngsters should watch it .. AT the end when Kevin is at the station and ITS 7.10.....And she had not come I swear I had tears rolling down my face..And even why she met him he asked her for her name and number ...It was nice to know that in this wonderful world that we live in there's still some guys and girls who don't even ask each other their names on that first meeting...Cause till today no woman has ever made me wait or even left me...I wish I COULD find a woman who could make me cry ......because she has hurt me or left me ..where is she..LOL

perni Mariah has Glitter. The Village People have Can't Stop the Music. Britney Spears has Crossroads. Jennifer Lopez has The Wedding Planner, Enough, Gigli...you get the idea. I think it's become an inescapable law of physics that when any singer decides that they have the chops to become an actor, what results is an evil hybrid of inflated egos and Satanic afterbirth. Want more proof? Presenting On The Line, starring both Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. This is one of the most ridiculous movies I've ever seen, mostly because it assumes that these two boy band rejects can act in front of a camera. Joey's actually supposed to be a decent thespian, but you would have no idea just from watching this piece of filth. He just comes off as loud, annoying, and patently stupid. As for Bass, while a cute guy, he's not exactly Lawrence Olivier. He just looks uncomfortable throughout the entire film and it made me feel likewise. Then there's the incomprehensible story, which defies common sense and the idea that God loves his children. Yeah, the entire city just STOPS to read about pathetic Lance and his search for a girl he barely talked to for less then five minutes. And why is his story on the front page of every newspaper? Is it a slow news day EVERY DAY in this city??? I laughed out loud when the front page of one paper featured a huge color photo of Lance and his gal and at the bottom was a much smaller headline about the economy. Yeah, that's realistic. Oh, why am I even wasting my breath? This movie sucks hard, and no one should watch it unless they enjoy getting their brains damaged. 0/4 stars (P.S. Dave Foley, what are you doing here?!?!?! You were on Kids in the Hall, for God's sake!).
