Jonathan Garcia Back in the day, I was a fan of the group NSYNC. And this movie starred two of their members Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. And I thought this movie was gonna be cute, but what I got was a very terrible movie.I'm pretty sure I don't have to say much on how terrible this movie is. The soundtrack of the movie was good, but the story was cheesy, the acting was horrendous, and everything about this movie was just terrible.If you like these kind of movies, that's fine. But if you wind up hating it, don't say I didn't warn you. Just skip this movie, and don't bother trying to discover this movie, you'll regret it if you do.
Christopher Tidy A guy meets a girl on a train and their personalities click, but he fails to get her name or phone number. So he embarks on a comic campaign to find her amongst the Chicago commuters. But the involvement of his hapless frat boy house mates, former schoolmates and employer threaten to derail the plan.The movie isn't sophisticated. There isn't much complexity to the characters or plot. Most people would describe it as a teen movie. But it is competently produced. I find it difficult to fault the acting - the actors are quite adequate for the type of film. The camera work and soundtrack are both good. If you're looking for an art movie, avoid this film. But as easy going, feel-good entertainment it's a winner!
Tin Man-5 It's repulsive to me when I see singers trying to use their success as an excuse to try acting. It's like they look in the mirror and they see Marlon Brando staring back at them (because we're all drama kings and queens on the inside anyway), and since they have the money and influence, they decide to give acting a shot. So, parts that could have gone to rising stars go to singers with enough star power to attempt a shot at the Hollywood spotlight. A good idea? From what I have seen of singers-turned-actors, with the exception of Will Smith, the late Frank Sinatra, Jon Bon Jovi, and Kevin Max (of dc Talk), no singer has the business of trying to be an actor. Period. Bass and Fatone, AKA "Lance" and "Joey," as they have been dubbed by all the users here writing about how amazing this film is (who, apparently, are on a first-name basis with NSync) fall into that category. Fatone mistakes characterization for making loud, obnoxious fart-noises, and Bass thinks that raising those big, bushy eyebrows and looking wide-eyed substitutes for boyish-charms. No, actually...there's no charm there. It's just boyish, "Lance."Granted, if the movie had been any good, we could forgive Bass and Fatone's horrid performances (and Richie Sambora for that matter--a brillaint guitarist who needs to stick to the guitar) and focus on the intelligence of the script. Unfortunately, there's nothing here we haven't already seen before. The "keeps missing each other by a split second" plot is played up to the max (and I do mean MAX! Not one cliche is left unturned), as is the "Hey, you're my best friend and you betrayed me by dating my girl!" misunderstanding, which would, I am convinced, never be a subplot in a movie ever again if either party would just stick around and explain themselves. If my negative review isn't clear enough, that doesn't happen in this movie.It's a sad thing when you can watch a trailer to a film and have the movie figured out, down to the very "t," before you walk into a movie. I'm one of those guys who likes to insist that films aren't cheap entertainment, but rather, an overlooked expression of art. Make a mental note: Anyone who would ever attempt to prove my claim wrong could reference this film, and I would be helpless to reply. As far as the "chick-flick" genre goes, this one is near the bottom ("Pearl Harbor" being the VERY bottom of the list). As far as movies in general go, this one is beyond the bottom of the list, and is dangling somewhere in "bad-movie" hell, wondering what went wrong. Ironically, the same can be said for NSync's career about now, too.I can't help it....I'm going to say it...Forgive me, but I cannot resist: To On the Line I say...."BYE BYE BYE!!!!"Sorry.1/2 out of ****
roughale How much more so-called musicians do we have to endure in the movie theaters? It's getting worse with every film, I thought Busta Rhymes ridiculous role in Halloween:Resurrection was the low point, but alas no, I got the awful On The Line at the English language sneak preview last night and it was just a nuisance (I have to carefully avoid the real and rightful words I use here...). The story was very familiar and it was told bad as can be! I last saw this story done well in Serendipity (spelling?), but this one had actors in it, while On The Line was nothing but a blown up video clip that should rot on MTV not at movie theaters - Nuff Said!I give this 1 of 10 stars, but only since 0 is not possible...
