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."

Quotes:

Eric: Love may not make the world go round, but it makes the ride worth while.

Adorable movie for any pre-teen!

On The Line is a sweet and innocent movie for little girls or those who love cute little romances. Lance Bass from Nsync fame is quite good as the lead who always chokes up around the opposite sex and in the workplace. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. It has an innocent quality that is not found in many films anymore. On The Line isn't Oscar winning but it is a movie that should appeal to those who love the innocence of young love.
