Reviews for On the Line
Top CriticThe film delivers on its admittedly modest mission -- to painlessly effect a pop star's transition to movie actor -- despite being not very subtle.
12/09/01
A slight, cute charmer that, as far as pop-singers-turned-actors goes, is infinitely superior to the hideous Glitter and the even more wretched Spice World.
10/26/01
On the Line knows its target audience very well.
10/25/01
Top CriticPlays like a Freddie Prinze Jr. movie without Freddie Prinze Jr. And wouldn't you know, that turns out to be a good thing.
06/20/02
Certainly, you could find far more unpleasant ways to while away 85 minutes.
10/29/01
The duo come off with an easy, natural charm.
10/25/01
Both guys do what they can with paper-thin material. Unlike many seasoned actors, in fact, they don't totally embarrass themselves.
10/25/01
The movie has some clumsy dialogue and awkward turns, but the picture is brisk and likable.
10/26/01
Top Criticin case there is anyone out there who is considering going to this movie for any reason other than its N’Sync connection: don’t bother.
10/27/01
Harmless romantic and musical hijinks abound, and sentimentality prevails.
10/26/01
At least it isn't as condescending or transparently synthetic as most niche-marketed daydreams for the high-school and junior-high set.

On the Line suffers from such a predictable plot, a stale script and sitcom-y production values that even 13-year-old females might find themselves bored.

For the preteen girls that are its target audience, On the Line delivers just what they crave... Everyone else, though, will be rolling their eyes.
10/25/01
A piece of far-fetched fluff.
10/25/01
This romantic comedy redefines the low-end of its genre, with a stale, predictable plot, 100 per cent fizzling jokes, awful acting and a sit-com quality production.
10/18/01
Things get more and more saccharine just about every time anyone opens their mouth.
