Summary: Great Music/Great Story!
Review: Finally ,quality entertainment! It comes few and far between these days. This movie was wonderful and had the best soundtrack. It had a great storyline with some of the best music I have heard in a long time. Lance Bass and Joey Fatone are not only great singers but actors , as well. Joey proves to be quite the comediene in this movie. I enjoyed watching this movie with my daughter. We have watched it several times since purchasing it and also had to purchase the CD Soundtrack. If you are looking for a good little movie to sit down and enjoy ,this is the one.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Wack Film
Review: outside of Joey Fatone showing a little Acting Cred there isn't alot going on with this film.Lance Bass is the kind of actor that would be lucky to be a fill in on a Low-Budget Soap Opera let alone star in anything.the best thing for me about this film was Al Green Performing.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Not the best
Review: I saw this movie and was so excited to see it and it ended up being pretty bad. Emmanuelle Chriqui has alot of talent and so does Joey Fatone. It is a funny movie but Lance can't act.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hands down, worst movie I ever saw
Review: Wow. WOW! What a spectacular display of mediocrity. Lance Bass is by far the worst actor I have ever seen. The story line is not only stupid, but unbelievable as well. Joey Fatone's character is ridiculously horrible. Did anyone notice how, as a singer, the majority of the movie he is TERRIBLE, until the very end when he pens a poignant love song for his good friend Kevin, who until that point he had [left hanging]...I almost shed a tear.
Seriously, if you want to compare this cinematic nightmare to Crossroads, with Brittney Spears, she deserves an Oscar. As an N*Sync fan, I can honestly say that I have lost so much respect for these boys. Good thing Joey redeemed himself in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And the funniest part of the movie was at the end when Justin & Chris from N*Sync make a cameo. Don't see this movie. It is 90 minutes of your life you will never get back.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of the Ten Greatest Films of All Time
Review: This movie is one of the ten greatest films of all time. It is that good. Go see it.

Emmanuelle Chriqui ("Abby") was not an actress that I had ever heard of before, but while watching her I thought she looked a lot like pretty girls I had seen in Israel. It turns out her family were Jews from Morocco who moved to Canada.

She is gorgeous! In every scene she looks pretty in a different way. I even liked her in pigtails at the start of the movie when she was dressing down and moping around her apartment.

The dialogue is witty, Lance and Joey are good actors. Emmanuelle had so much chemistry with Lance that she became his girlfriend afterwards.

Personally, I think that Emmanuelle would have been better off dating someone who could do something for her career instead of going with Lance. For instance, Joey who plays Lance's sidekick in the film went on to star in My Big Fat Greek Wedding. If Emmanuelle had hooked up with Joey instead of Lance she might have been offered more film roles by now.

Tamala Jones plays a beautiful black co-worker who has different facets to her personality. She has recently starred in Chief of State as Chris Rock's girl friend.

I watched this movie twice, and enjoyed it as much the second time. My 12-year-old niece says that I was breaking into a smile whenever I saw Emmanuelle on screen!

Summary: A Sweet Movie
Review: I went to the theater to see this one. There was a whooping three others in the theater. I was bored, and nothing else was playing. I'm not an Nsync fan, I am a movie fan. If you are a movie fan, don't skip over this because you dislike Nsync. The movie is about a guy named Kevin who is a complete chicken when it comes to love. He meets a girl on the train, but fails to get her number. He spends the rest of the movie wishing he had and then haplessly searching for her in Chicago. Lance Bass, believe it or not, does have presence on screen. And Joey Fatone, well, he steals the show. This guy is worth seeing the movie. He's so funny and his mannerisms cracked me up. There's one scene where he's singing "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and he's pouring sugar down his throat. He chokes on it in front of everyone at this bar. It was hilarious. There is tons of other stuff like that, so see this movie. Even though it bombed at the box office, this movie is definitely worth AT LEAST a rental, but it really deserves to be bought.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not too dang bad, but.......
Review: I don't see it going for an Oscar or something. Come on, they know that the majority of people going to see this will be teenies so they can't have the long sex scenes and stuff like that. But if you want a movie where you can just watch and actually feel pretty light after, this is one of those. Now, I admit: I've been to two N'Sync concerts and I thought that I'd be classified as a teenie myself since I wanted to see it. But you know, Lance is pretty good, considering I don't think he had a day of acting lessons. Joey is just very close to his own personality, which I thought was great. Chris and Justin at the end was hilarious. I laughed like an idiot. Thank God no one was home. I would have gotten plenty of looks! ("I want them to see this hair in China! CHI-NA!")
But if you want to have a girlie night or want mindless fun, this is a good movie to choose.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The most unintentionally hilarious bad movie EVER made!!!
Review: Lance Bass makes a stunningly awful debut in this stupefying waste of celluloid and is thoroughly unconvincing as a human being. His "character" is a virtual protozoa whose mindless pitch ("Girlz on the Move") for Reebok is stolen by Bee Autch (Tamala Jones). Joey Fatone, on the other hand, is completely convincing as an A-hole who can't sing, likes to pick the underwear out of his poonie hole and screws over his friends whenever he feels like it. Lance's sub-friends include a character only worth calling Tourette (he APPEARS to have the disease but is basically ugly and unshaven) and an unsurprisingly out-of-place preppie (or, if you prefer, Abercrombie & Fitch catalog model reject). We're unsure who portrays Abbey because she looks different in every scene. Sometimes she's Asian, sometimes Hispanic, sometimes Australian, sometimes Canadian (!)...well, MOSTLY Canadian, anyway. Sometimes she has a boyfriend, sometimes a lesbian roommate, sometimes her boyfriend is played by different actors in the same scene! Anyway, she looks like a sexually frustrated streetwalker waiting for a cigarette (preferably filterless) and her payment to be laid before her on the Ikea dresser. Speaking of which, incredibly, there is more product placement in this film than MR DEEDS or MAC & ME ("classic" '80s kiddie pic, if you're a MST3K fan, anyway). Pepsi, McDonalds, beer (too many kinds to name)...you'll have to suffer through the film if you want to hunt for them all! We now must mention the strange inclusion of Jerry Stiller as a gay copy room assistant and the poorly dubbed-over profanities, which is sometimes done by non-English speaking actors! Lance is at his best during a scene where the director instructed him to use the copy machine and WITHOUT closing the lid! We can see only his hairline and forehead, which convey emotion much better than anything below that. We can't neglect to mention the lone moment of indie cinematography where it appears that human emotion is conveyed through the chain-link fence but then the moment fades and we're saddled with Lance's expressionless face once again. We liken it to being on the cusp of the Big "O" and then denied the opportunity to realize it. In all fairness, this movie provided more unintetional laughs than GLITTER and CROSSROADS combined.(Note how Maraih's hairstyle conveys mood, tone, feeling, and conflict)Anywhoo, writing this review has been intensley cathartic for me and mine. Much love to the many actresses who played abbey P.S. Notice how on the blurb on the the back the intro says "He met Abby (the love of his live) but didn't her her name"- Hello her name is abbey you just said it. I have a creeping suspicion that LAnce is responsible for this tag line and I also susrect he is illiterate. My favorite moment however is when highschool Lance hallucinates and his shirt flies off and we hear his inner monologue describe how his armpits are sweating(yet another example of ON THER LINE"s Oscar quality writing). In close second for my favorite moment is the inspired scene where Kevin/Lance(the script used both names Lance got confused and tried to hide from the cameras)puts himself on the line to find his girl. But in reality,he made a poster(Very on the line-risquee in my opinion i better stop before i get to the old lady who never gets laid

Summary: A terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie
Review: Okay, don't start throwing things at me yet! Let me just start off by saying, I love NSYNC and their music. I don't have anything against the guys themselves. I just think that this movie was stupid, far-fetched, pointless, and poorly executed.
First of all, who would believe a young man of Kevin's (Lance Bass) age could afford all of the efforts he puts into finding this mystery girl? He puts out newspaper ads, reserves billboards, etc. Oh well, nevermind. Guess you have to suspend disbelief for a second. You have to suspend disbelief throughout a LOT of this movie now that I think about it.
The story is weak, the acting is not extraordinary, and some characters (especially that one of Kevin's pals...his name was not important enough for me to remember) were incredibly obnoxious.
But do you want to know what the absolute WORST part of this movie is? The curse words are very VERY poorly dubbed over with less offensive ones. I know they had to market this movie to a younger audience, but for crying out loud. Spend the extra money and redo the scenes to at least make the masking of dirty words a little less obvious!
I was so mad that I spent [money] to rent this DVD from the video store. I know that thousands of NSYNC fans are going to want to bash me, but this is my opinion. I have never called a movie great simply because one of my favorite actors was in it. I always take a lot into consideration when reviewing a movie. "On the Line" just did not satisfy any of the qualities I believe are in a good film.
