Review of On the Line

On the Line (2001)
3/10
Bad bad Machine romantic comedy
31 March 2002
I'm very much into this kind of movie. But this is the worst of the Machine produced mass type flicks ever.

Every Meg Ryan formula movie has more heart and ideas than this one. I did not expect much but was still disappointed.

The romance part does not work because you don't care for the characters. They are flat and off the rack. After an initial buildup with a bare minimum of depth everything is cut loose to advance the story with what should be perceived as comedy but fails.

After recently seeing "Serendipity" (which is by no means great but has a heart and you actually care about the characters) which also features the romantic quest about destiny and finding the right girl after a chance meeting, this one is a sure looser in every aspect.

I hoped for Emmanuelle Chriqui to be in a better movie, 100 Girls featured her in a much more interesting role but I think at least for her there is hope for a better future - for this movie the only hope is to be soon forgotten.
