With such an embarrassing movie debut, no wonder Lance Bass tried to get himself blasted into space. Boy (that's Lance) meets girl (Emmanuelle Chriqui) in On the Line but forgets to get her name and number. Tedious hunt for girl commences. What will really send you spinning is Joey Fatone as Bass' hot-dog-snarfing best friend, who, in one scene, wakes himself up with his own flatulence. His buddy rants, ''You wash your grimy butt in my tub again, you're gonna have to start paying some rent.'' Fatone proceeds to rip another one. This, 'N Syncers, is the end of the line.
