Movie Description Starring Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, members of the popular teenage boy band 'N Sync, ON THE LINE is a romantic comedy geared towards fans of these teen idols. Kevin (Bass) meets his true love-at-first-sight, Abbey (Emmanuelle Chriqui) on the Chicago "L" train, but he doesn't get her name and phone number. They're a perfect match--both can, and do, recite the names of all the U.S. Presidents, in order--and Kevin can't let this one go. He decides to wage a major campaign to find the girl again, which is the story of the rest of the film.
Kevin's best friend Rod (Fatone), an ad executive who also fronts a 1980s metal cover band, helps to plan and execute the search for Abbey. The boys put up posters all over Chicago. Their search bears unexpected fruits: as various women who are not Abbey respond to the posters, Rod and his friends reap the benefits. The media catches wind of the story, and the shy Kevin becomes a minor celebrity, a city-wide posterboy for romance. Does Kevin get the girl in the end? You know the answer. Cameos by Al Green and Jerry Stiller help elevate the film, which is a pleasant, likable vehicle for it's cool teen pop stars.
