Lance Bass On the Line

Plot Will a gutless ad exec and his boy-band buddy ever get the girl?

Might have been better if They'd cast the two members of 'N Sync who actually attract women--Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez.

Budget $10 million

Box office take $4.4 million

Product placement Marketers rejoice! Apple, McDonald's, Reebok, and Radio Shack all get shout-outs.

Mandy Moore A Walk to Remember

[Plot] Bible-toter falls for bad boy in this Love Story weepie.

[Budget] $9 million

[Box office take] $31 million (as of 2/14)

[Product placement] Mandy Moore slurps a Minute Maid in the film's only product nod (alliterate much?).

[Twist] That anyone paid to see the No. 3 (or is it No. 4?) teen diva in a movie.

Britney Spears Crossroads

[Plot] Thelma & Louise meets Dumb & Dumber.

[Might have been better if] Ms. "Not a girl, not yet a woman" left her achingly earnest poetry on the cutting-room floor.

[Budget] $12 million

[Box office take] $40 million to $50 million (est.)

[Product placement] Britney makes nice with her moneymakers. Get your mind out of the gutter--we mean Pepsi, Herbal Essences, and MTV.
