DVD Reviews of On the Line

DVD 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.

DVD Review: Cute. Bad acting but cute if you're a fan!
Summary: 3 Stars

If you're an Nsync fan or just a fan of Lance and/or Joey you know they didn't expect to win any Academy award nods for this film. It was a great first effort with a funny cast for two guys with no real film experience. Joey has already improved 100 fold and I hope Broadway helped Lance with his acting skills. Not a career killer. Fun and cute movie.

DVD Review: A nice film for a change
Summary: 5 Stars

Speaking personally, I enjoyed this film: it is lite, entertaining, and entirely devoid of smut and violence, entertaining enough for the whole family to watch and enjoy, thoroughly harmless good fun. Just a really nice story about two likeable people who you desperately want to see get together. Hey, everybody knows people like this: sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

Maybe it's not quite "Sleepless in Seattle", but if you liked that one, then this one will appeal to you.

Anyrate, that's the opinion of one world-weary and jaded fellow who hasn't enjoyed a romantic comedy so much for a very long time.

DVD Review: Perfect gift for the tweenie bopper
Summary: 5 Stars

Boy finds true love in Chicago on the "L-train" but forgets to ask her name and number. It's a case of the one who got away but hoping to find again with help from the Chicago papers. The only problem is ... when friends get in on the game it takes someone yelling "Have you ever been in love? It's worth the ride" to a group of subway passengers. One thing is for certain ... every tweenie bopper who got this was amused and delighted.

DVD Review: Search for a Soul Mate
Summary: 4 Stars

A surprisingly entertaining movie in which a young man working for an advertising firm is always losing out in life, on the job, as he fails to get credit for his ideas and in romance as he always chokes up before he asks a girl for a date or her phone number. It is young love at its best with music appropriate for the young set and the friends of the young man who support him, then take advantage of him. He meets a girl on the El in Chicago with whom he connects then hesitates and lets her go without
finding out who she is. The plot is about him and his friends trying to locate her with twists and turns all the way. Good clean fun recommended for the romantic of all ages. Review based on purchased VHS.

Description 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
