A talented cast wasted beneath the muddled script. Go to Full Review

James Sanford Kalamazoo Gazette Jul 15, 2003
Rosen isn't quite clever enough as either a writer or a director to pull off the multiple twists 'Curve' finally takes. The satiric edge and much of the movie's logic disappear in its last 20 minutes. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
So concerned about its plot that it doesn't pay much attention at all to its characters, and therefore, the film only comes off feeling even more empty-headed. Go to Full Review

Draco W May 21, 2018 A pretty solid film from first time writer/director Dan Rosen. 90's nostalgia certainly adds some charm to this film, as does a reliably quirky performance by Matthew Lillard. The plot gets a bit muddled, but there is some interesting camerawork, and some great monologue delivery, again aided by Lillard's unique touch. If you're a fan of 90's teen movies, this one is a fun, dark addition to the genre. See more
Abraham M Aug 19, 2017 The Curve is a slick and smart college thriller with a clever, plot twist-filled narrative and features a great young cast including Michael Vartan, Keri Russell and terrific performance from Matthew Lillard. See more
