Have you ever met the perfect girl... and let her get away?

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.

Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Toronto and Chicago

On the Line is a 2001 American romantic comedy film starring Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. The film was directed by Eric Bross and was written by Eric Aronson and Paul Stanton, based upon their short film of the same name.

Production

The idea for doing the film came together when NSYNC’s talks of starring in a feature film as a group in the vein of A Hard Day’s Night stalled in late 2000. The film was Lance Bass’s first film through his production company A Happy Place. Bass initially intended to only produce and not star, but decided to act also when the group’s management gave the band a month and a half of downtime before the start of recording for their album Celebrity.

Filming began in mid-March of 2001 with a reported budget of $10 million. The film’s original title was "On the L". The film was primarily shot in Toronto, Ontario, while establishing shots were done in Chicago. Midway through the shoot, NSYNC began recording again, and to accommodate for both the album and the film, Bass and bandmate Joey Fatone continued filming in Toronto during the week and traveled to Orlando on weekends to work with the ban…

During the film's closing credits, NSYNC members Justin Timberlake and Chris Kirkpatrick appear as comical hair and makeup artists in mock "behind the scenes" footage, doing hair and makeup for Bass, Fatone and Chriqui. JC Chasez had a cameo as a bartender but his scene was cut.
