On the LineLanguage: English

Genre: Rom-Com/Family/Chick Flick

Cast: Lance Bass & Joey Fatone (from NSYNC), Emmanuelle Chriqui

Direction: Eric Bross

Music: NSYNC, Al Green, Britney Spears, Vitamin C, Melissa Lefton, Jessica Folker

Reasons to watch: NSYNC, cute storyline, good music, a mild take on the influence of media

Reasons not to: Weak acting and weaker plot, predictability and mediocrity rules the roost here

Storyoline: Kevin(Lance Bass) is an advertising executive who meets a girl(Emmanuelle Chriqui) on a train. While they talk about petty things, cupid somehow gives Kevin the signals that she is the one for him. He however is foolish enough not to ask either her name or her phone number. In a frantic attempt to find her, he comes up with posters leading her to him. The media finds this interesting and runs a story on him. The matters worsen when Kevin has to find that one call from a number of fake callers pretending to be Her. At this moment his friends step in, and then everything goes berserk, from bad to worse.

Kevin and his friends spend the rest of the movie, finding the girl and in the process, finding more about themselves. Do they find her? Hmm.. Find out for yourself.

Climax Handling: Predictable yet cute

Points: A not-so-bad performance from singers of NSYNC, amazing soundtrack, a little take on the make-and-break powers of the media, this is one movie where the supporting actors support the movie more than the main lead.

Rating: 5/10

Comment: Worth a dekko. Well at least a casual one..
