10/19/02
Top CriticAn innocuous romantic comedy about missed connections, like Serendipity for people who can't vote yet.
03/22/02
Top CriticLess a romance than a feature-length plug for 'N Sync and its personalities.
10/30/01
Top CriticHarmless romantic and musical hijinks abound, and sentimentality prevails.
10/26/01
Top CriticThe movie has some clumsy dialogue and awkward turns, but the picture is brisk and likable.
10/26/01
Top CriticOn the Line would like to be Serendipity for the Oxy-and-Skechers set, but it feels more like the worst movie Michael J. Fox never made.
10/26/01
Top CriticIn the end, it's much ado about not very much, certainly not enough to catapult Bass into a film career, but probably enough to satisfy 'N Sync fans.
10/26/01
Top CriticAs teenybopper idol movies go, it's a few steps up from Spice World.
10/26/01
Top CriticMore 'it stinks' than 'NSYNC.
10/26/01
Top CriticAn agonizingly creaky movie that laboriously plods through a plot so contrived that the only thing real about it is its length.
10/26/01
Top CriticOn a whole, the movie stays as blandly inoffensive (albeit sometimes annoying) as possible.
10/25/01
Top CriticAt least it isn't as condescending or transparently synthetic as most niche-marketed daydreams for the high-school and junior-high set.
10/25/01
Top CriticA romantic comedy that's thinner than a copy of Bop magazine and proves, once again -- see Carey, Mariah -- that the transition from pop star to thespian is no easy leap to make.
10/25/01
Top CriticThe lack of resonant or even interesting characters is matched by the toothless script and lifeless direction.
10/25/01
Top CriticDownright torture for adults, it may prove too unsophisticated even for its preteen target audience.
10/25/01
Top CriticBass has a charming, quiet anxiety that draws you toward him.
10/25/01
Top CriticOn the Line knows its target audience very well.
10/25/01
Top CriticLike all trifles that use unbearable amounts of saccharine to cover up poor quality, this one leaves a bad aftertaste.
10/23/01
Top CriticThere's more plot and inventiveness in the average 'N Sync music video than in Eric Aronson and Paul Stanton's sweet nothing of a script and antiseptic direction by Eric Bross.
