Movie Info

Kevin (Lance Bass) has everything going for him, but his lifelong lack of confidence keeps him from recognizing love and happiness -- even if it's sitting next to him. When Kevin meets the girl of his dreams, Abbey, on Chicago's L train, they connect immediately but he lets this golden opportunity slip away by not having the courage to ask her for her name and number. Unable to find her, or forget her, Kevin and his buddies launch a massive campaign to locate Abbey.

Audience Reviews for On the Line

Oct 14, 2008

The best part about this movie was Emmanuelle Chriqui, she is smoking hott! There's a good range of cool songs and some pretty funny comedy through out it as well. The only downfall really was kind of a typical love story that you could guess the ending of before the movie already started. Nonetheless it's a pretty good movie to watch - a good date movie, if it does nothing else for some people.

I think this would have been a great movie without the likes of Emmanuelle Chriqui as the lead female character. Anyone would have been a better selection. Lance Bass's character wasn't convincing enough. The Half-Star rating goes to Joey Fatone in his ever musical pursuit to be the next big Rock-Star!
