  • James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette

    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.

    Rare that you'll see this many moronic plot twists in just one movie.
