StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
Francisco Mejía Giving a chance to the pop movies, I rented it!!! I have seen love stories, I have seen teenage movies that actually are pretty good!!! But Oh my God this movie sucks!!!!!!!!! This N'Sync boys can't find a way to make money... that's way I think they did this awful movie... the story is pretty bad and give an incomplete plot because you never understand what is really happened in the feelings of the girl and the boy... the moment in the train is the most corny that I ever seen, this movie is so plastic!!!!!! Guys if you want to see a love movie watch THE NOTEBOOK!!! Movies that out of a good story even if it is corny, it leave a message in your heart!
squiffany I had heard about on the line before....people had said that this was one of the worst movies ever. So when at 2 o clock in the morning it came on the TV. I thought lets see how bad this is.But you know what...I don't think it was the actors that where bad it was the movie makers themselves. The plot was bad and so was the script. It was never gonna be Oscar winning but this film could of been something more. We had so many transient characters that there is no ending for them leaving people thinking.....what happened to Abbie's boyfriend or even the bad guy who went to school with Kevin....What the hell happened to these people did they just fall off the script. The plot did have the ending that the audience would of wanted but in the end u didn't care for these people...You just wanted this to end and thats a shame Cos lance and joey weren't the worst actors I have ever seen. all know Justin Timberlake was awful as a camp make up artist at the the end. Next time u watch this film don't let the movie makers get in the way
runawayshortbus The 2001's opus On The Line is clearly one of the gripping romantic comedies of our time. The cellioud itself is iconoclast, redefining itself and the genre as a whole. In film we have a man who is seperated from his would be lover via the manical train (representative of man's conflict with nature and his own increasing modernaization in the late capitalist model). In turn Fatone's character must search to reclaim his lost love, but just as they appear to be reunited larger symbollic structures will keep them apart. For instance a large glass pane, (a nod to Freuds Id, and dismantling of the mirror stage, for through this glass, Fatone sees not himself but his lover, an analysis of both the social construction of self, and the dialouge of co-dependency). Will they end up in passionate union? Rent it and get TURNED ON THE LINE A brilliant piece of Shaduenfrueden.
Chubbs-2 Lets get this out of the way first, Lance Bass CANNOT ACT. That aside, this movie was really frustrating, I just wanted the two to get together already......I loved Emmanuelle Chriqui she is gorgeous and very down to Earth I think shes great and going to be a big star one day.The other Nsync star Joey was pretty good I thought, much better than Lance, I just wanted to slap him out a few times.Overall a very sappy movie...........but i fell for it.It had to be Emmanuelle....she was great....absolutely fantastic. I recommend this movie to all those hopeless romantics out there that are suckers for sappy stuff like this.
