      Steve D Chriqui deserved so much better than this garbage. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I can't belive I re watched this movie.... Like it wasn't enough waste 1hr,30mins. of my youth in 2002.... Those NSync guys were so popular back then.... Now they are just Gen X white mans who got old really, really bad lol Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Should have a soft spot for all the 90s babies. Cute and mindful romcom that actually has some good comedic acting from supporting cast mates. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story great acting. Understandable story. How a look from a distance can be love like. Chasing to find that girl. I liked it a lot. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/21 Full Review Audience Member It’s been a while, I remember it as being excellent Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/19 Full Review Audience Member Clearly marketed toward the 'N Sync teeny-boppers, On the Line's greatest achievement is having a VHS copy of it placed on top of Justin Timberlake's shrine. It's a reminder to him that he co-starred in Alpha Dog, Inside Llewyn Davis and the Oscar winning The Social Network as he thanks his lucky stars that it was his boy band comrades Bass and Fatone that were targeted for this and not him. With it's childish dialogue, preposterous narrative and a sugary sweet, ooey-gooey ending that'll knock you out into a diabetic coma before the end credits roll, all the ipecac in the world couldn't induce vomiting quicker than this film. The characters may have a collective IQ of 4, but if it was any higher we wouldn't get this triumph of 21st century cinema.
