Summary: The Brit Is Right
Review: I really enjoyed this movie from the music to the producing. It is worth seeing and will be worth owning when it somes on tape.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Where's the soundtrack album??????
Review: I saw this film in London last X-mas and LOVED it! I wonder if people get it/enjoy it as much without an audience?!? With scenes like "The Beer Hunter" and the clever dialogue, it's worth seeing twice. It does make sence a second time. Very Cool. Where can I find a soundtrack Album?? I don't mind buying an import?? Somebody let me know

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: U will never know what hit u!
Review: I think that this movie was totally awsome. I mean there was some abuse and stuff like that but it is still probably the best one I've seen in a while! If you liked Dead Man on Campus and I Know What You Did Last Summer, you are in for it because if you have an idea who's doing "it", think again before you make your final thought!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved it!
Review: I thought The Curve was a little weird when i first started watching it. After a while though I really got hooked. The ending was such a shocker. It was great. I definitly think people should see this. It's definitly not for people under 13 though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Thriller w/Great Twists
Review: I would have loved to see this movie in the theaters, but it went directly to video. This film keeps you guessing and delivers in the end. One of the few films that deserves a second viewing immediately (as you can see below by some of the people who "don't get it"). When will we get more from this great director?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good little pickup.
Review: If you are into great performances.. then this movie is definatley not for you. However if you are looking for good movie to watch on a friday night, then this one is a winner.

The movie is based on a urban legend that is prevalent on college campuses. The story goes that many colleges have a policy that if your roomate commits suicide, you get all A's. Ok its absurd, but it provides a good backdrop for the movie.

Scream's diamond in the rough performer, Matthew Lillard, once again provides a high strung element to the movie. Felicity's Keri Russell does a good job playing both the good girl(first half of the movie) and the bad(last half).

The movies two main characters are college students. One of course is the ambitious,pre law type(Played by Michael Vartan. The other(played by Lillard) is the crazy(a bit psychotic), no-care-in-the-world type. However the two students soon hatch a plan to get rid of their obnoxious roomate(played by Randall Batinkoff). The plan? To throw him from a cliff and make it appear he commited suicide. Why? In this strange alter universe where College deans care, to recieve straight A's.

In the meantime the two begin to go head to head. Lillard's character seducing his roomates girlfriend, and the poor girlfriend of the suicidal roomate killing herself. The battle heats up as the two begin fingering each other to the police with subtle suggestions to the police. As the net tightens, Vartan's character makes his final showdown with Lillard's character at the scene of the first suicide. However a few surprises will be for all those involved.

So typical good guy vs bad guy with good guy winning in the end? Not quite. The final plot twist reverses the roles showing the sinister side of many of the "good guys". In typical good suspense movie fashion, the given is no longer a given. To tell the plot twist would totally ruin it. But its a rather good one. The plot twist alone is worth watching the movie. What you are left with is a pretty good movie. Not a outstanding one. But a good watch that will surprise ya.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great movie....very twisted
Review: if youre in the mood for a serious black comedy, this is it. plus, the plot twists will blow you away...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: One of the worst
Review: It is easy for me to say that this is one of the worst movies that I've ever seen. Totally ridiculous. The plot twists are just stupid and make no sense. The acting is terrible. I watched this movie with a lady friend. We were plenty ready to get a little frisky, but this movie put us to sleep. I can never forgive it for that. It was one of the five worst I've ever seen. DON'T BUY IT!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A good cast but....
Review: It really is a bad movie. The plot is ok but the acting is bad. I don't think people would be interested in watching a bunch of college kids try to kill each other by pushing them over a cliff! I am glad I just rented it and not bought it!! I really like Keri Russell....she was pretty good in this movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Brilliant performances -- lack luster directing.
Review: Keep the cast... make a sequel. What happens to the survivors? Lose the director. Get someone who can tell a story.
