Metacritic reviews

Perfectly harmless, often humorous, featherweight confection -- think "Serendipity" re-imagined as a teen-skewing Saturday morning sitcom.

When so many PG-13 movies are encroaching on R-rated turf, it's heartening to see a film that responsibly approaches its audience.

The movie has some clumsy dialogue and awkward turns, but the picture is brisk and likable.

On the Line's cutesy premise is no more ridiculous than that of most romantic comedies.

Not a good film. In fact, it's a rather bad example of that already barrel-bottom-scraping genre, the teenybopper romantic comedy.

Sophisticated romantic comedy for people who think "Corky Romano" is trenchant political satire.

Bass isn't a gifted actor, but he retains his dignity, mostly by keeping his head down and avoiding the eyes of the idiots around him.

An agonizingly creaky movie that laboriously plods through a plot so contrived that the only thing real about it is its length.

Whether he's the victim of poor directing or misguided ambition, Bass is almost entirely charisma-free.

Instantly forgettable.
