Overview

Kevin 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.

An innocuous romantic comedy about missed connections, like Serendipity for people who can't vote yet.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Rotten

Less a romance than a feature-length plug for 'N Sync and its personalities.

Ed Park, Village Voice
Fresh

Certainly, you could find far more unpleasant ways to while away 85 minutes.

Joe Leydon, Variety
Fresh

Harmless romantic and musical hijinks abound, and sentimentality prevails.

Richard Harrington, Washington Post
Rotten

On the Line tries too hard to be everything to everyone. And as the saying goes, when you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.

Pam Sitt, Seattle Times
