The dreadful "On the Line" featuring the acting debut of Lance Bass. Bass and memebers of the boy band 'Nsync, are more appealing with their good looks rather than the music, which isn't very good.

Last September at the MTV Video Music Awards, they won best dance video for "Pop" over a deserving nominee like Fatboy Slims for "Weapons of Choice." but back to the movie, the film is terrible the acting is terrible. The screenplay is written as an rejected episode of "Friends." Matter of fact, if you see this movie, you might be reminded of the recent film "Serendipity." In "Sarendipity," the acting, script and direction is much better than what's in this movie.

An Ad exective played by Bass falls for a girl on the train, but didn't ask her name. Then spending the rest of the movie finding the girl. Then in the end, is the making of "One the Line' in which the wiseguys of 'Nsync, predicting that the movie would win an Academy Award. That movie has the same chance of winning an Oscar as me going out on a date with Julia Roberts or Meg Ryan. The movie is filmed in Chicago, but I might be wrong, it could be filmed in "Pleasantville."
