Trivia

Cast-members Joey Fatone and Lance Bass were band mates in the boy band "N'Sync" at the time of the movie's release. See more »

Goofs

Audio/visual unsynchronized: Throughout the movie, all of the characters mouths do not match the audio. It's apparent that all of the cuss words were taken out during voice dubbing in final production. For example, when Brady Francis finds out that Kevin's friends are taking the girls out, his voice says "his butt is mine" but his mouth clearly says "his ass is mine." See more »

Quotes

Kevin Gibbons: C'mon, Lucille, don't die on me now. Listen, daddy knows you're tired, but daddy knows that got a few left in you. Yes you do! Yes you do!

Crazy Credits

Just as the credits begin, there is a sound effect for the reels stopping
and then titles signifying a "Behind the Scenes" of On the Line appear. We
see Lance Bass and Emmanuelle Chriqui in their respective make-up chairs
along with a cameo of two make-up artists, played by Justin and Chris from
NSync. They exchange "N'Sync is N-Stink" comments with praises for Kevin. See more »
