A brilliant film that helped define a genre

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

After seeing this movie for the first time, I was left completely speechless. If it weren't for the fact that I had laryngitis, I probably would have still been speechless.The twists and turns that this movie takes just left me on the edge of the aisle. (I sat on the aisle because the movie was packed with little girls who wanted to see Bill Cosby, but found out that this wasn't his movie...wow, they must have been disappointed due to the fact that Bill Cosby is in the Cosby family, and Lance Bass is in the Bass family...and last I checked, those are two different families, though I could, and probably am not, not incorrect.) But this movie was very gripping from the beginning, all the way to the end of the opening credits. I then had to go to the bathroom for the duration of the movie, but I could imagine it being the greatest movie in the history of the era of journalism meeting cavemen in a sea of rabid tigers.In terms of the acting, Lance Bass was very antidisestablishmentarianism, if that is a word. If it isn't, I would say that he was good. However, even though I am a huge fan of his, I would say that the good was not the good that you would say to a kid who cleaned up his room. But rather a good that you would say to a kid after he threw away your Mickey Mantle rookie card, in which case your good really meant bad. Thus, Lance Bass was basically a bass player for a bass farming fishery.In conclusion, this movie ranks up there with the all-time great movies, such as Fried Green Tomatoes, I Married an Axe Murderer, School Daze, and of course Lorenzo's Oil.If I had to watch this movie again, I would...and I did. I have seen it at least 2 times now.

I had heard about on the line before....people had said that this was one of the worst movies ever. So when at 2 o clock in the morning it came on the TV. I thought lets see how bad this is.But you know what...I don't think it was the actors that where bad it was the movie makers themselves. The plot was bad and so was the script. It was never gonna be Oscar winning but this film could of been something more. We had so many transient characters that there is no ending for them leaving people thinking.....what happened to Abbie's boyfriend or even the bad guy who went to school with Kevin....What the hell happened to these people did they just fall off the script. The plot did have the ending that the audience would of wanted but in the end u didn't care for these people...You just wanted this to end and thats a shame Cos lance and joey weren't the worst actors I have ever seen. all know Justin Timberlake was awful as a camp make up artist at the the end. Next time u watch this film don't let the movie makers get in the way

This movie was a pile of garbage, packaged in a glossy wrapper to distract you from the poor acting, predictable plot, lazy writing, overly trendy characters, unlikeable leads, etc. I could go on and on, but the point is that this movie is so bad that it cannot be salvaged (unlike Showgirls which is so bad it is good)

Kevin (Lance Bass) is a young advertising executive whose career is on the upswing. However, his personal life is more of a shambles as he is painfully shy around women. One day on a train in Chicago, he meets pretty Abbey (Emmanuelle Chriqui), who strikes his interest immediately. They both love Al Green, the Cubs, and history. However, Kevin clams up at the end of the conversation and fails to acquire her name and telephone number. He regrets his lack of fortitude soon after and decides to put up posters around the city in an effort to find her. The local newspaper, spotting one of the signs, even features an article on Kevin's plight. Yet, Abbey fails to appear. Will Kevin connect again with Abbey, even as he's fighting off the attentions of other women?With NSync member Bass as the star of the show, one would expect a movie only tweens would appreciate. Not so. Bass and Chriqui are winsome and winning as they seek to find each other again. The scenes in and around Chicago are engaging. The supporting cast is a bit goofy and grating at times (especially Kevin's friends) but, overall, the presentation of the movie is upbeat and humorous. Fans of light-hearted romantic films would be savvy to seek out this little sleeper. A happy feeling will permeate the viewer's heart for a long time.
