On the Line (2001)
8/10
Appeals to a very select audience
9 April 2006
I am not an NSync (spelling?) fan, but this is one of my favorite movies for multiple reasons:

1. It is surprisingly clean. No foul language whatsoever and it is soooo rare to find a PG movie that isn't targeting young kids/families (for those sensitive to this or can appreciate this element).

2. There is a very significant secondary plot about music. In fact, I have this movie to thank for introducing me to the music of Al Green (I also own the soundtrack). The end's a little cheesy, but for someone who also played open mic's at one point, it's nice to indulge a fantasy now and then.

3. Dave Foley's character has some truly funny moments. His stand up roots really shine through.

4. It's not a teeny bopper. Lance Bass and his friends are past their college years, and Lance's love interest just finished grad school.

So with that, it is difficult to predict who the movie was targeting, but it certainly got my attention.
