    I simply can't believe how bad this is. I mean, Joey Fatone has some actual talent for comedy and acting as his Broadway roles and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" showed us but Lance is just... lame. I used to be an NSYNC fan-from-hell but I never got a chance to see this back in thos...( read more)e dark days. I saw this way after I dumped NSYNC for punk rock and I am glad I did: I would have hated NSYNC to death after seeing this and realized how stupid I used to be. But every kid needs his illusions to remain untouched. Now I hate NSYNC with all my guts, thank you Lance! Give Joey Fatone a good comedy... please...

    I think this would have been a great movie without the likes of Emmanuelle Chriqui as the lead female character. Anyone would have been a better selection. Lance Bass's character wasn't convincing enough.
    The Half-Star rating goes to Joey Fatone in his ever musical pursuit to be...( read more) the next big Rock-Star!

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

An innocuous romantic comedy about missed connections, like Serendipity for people who can't vote yet. full review

October 26, 2001
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

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

October 26, 2001
Claudia Puig, USA Today

As teenybopper idol movies go, it's a few steps up from Spice World. full review

October 26, 2001
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

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