A [reasonably] compelling, refreshingly non-judgmental look at the newest phase of one-handed clapping. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
Although far-fetched at times, On Line gives us likable enough characters and several laugh out loud moments. Director Jed Weintrob has a distinct visual flair. Full Review |

With a fearlessness for being honest, the situations the characters find themselves in are embarrassing and laugh-out-loud funny. Full Review |

Amateurish drivel, which is headed for Skinemax in a hurry. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
The youthful cast is lively enough to make the enterprise almost work, presenting a time capsule of cyber- communication that should be more interesting 20 years from now. Full Review |

A 90-minute hairy-palm horror show, one that will strike terror into the heart of anyone who shares a keyboard with a lonely, Web-crazed roommate. Full Review |

Weintrob's stylish visuals mimic Web technologies, which succeed in making his characters seem all the more removed from reality. Now if someone would find a way to equip theater seats with a 'delete' key, we could be rid of them completely. Full Review |

There's something so familiar and commonplace about this story and its characters -- and maybe that has something to do with how much the Internet is a part of our everyday lives -- it's hard to get particularly thrilled. Full Review |

2/4 |
It does a good job of portraying the day-to-day life of these online obsessives, but we realize eventually that they are more interesting because they are online. Full Review |

If you like scenes of characters sticking hands down their pants, this is the film for you. Full Review |

A pleasant, small comedy that will have you smiling. Full Review |

On_Line is the kind of thing I dread -- a movie about digital technology directed by an expert in interactive media and video games. Full Review |
||
|
|
Doomed by Weintrob's passion for the Web, his passionless characters are little more than manipulated 'bots' -- and audiences, absenting possible hipster appeal, may vote more zeroes than ones for this digital tale. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
At its heart, On_Line is just an old-fashioned movie about people, relationships and making connections in an isolated world. And in this sense, the movie is very successful. Full Review |

Well-crafted late-night sleaze. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
Take away the computers and DSL lines and it's the 1950s of Jules Feiffer and Mike Nichols and Elaine May all over again, without the shrewdness and bite. Full Review |
