User Reviews

Simple minded tripe in a slick wrapper

"The Learning Curve" tells an obvious and naive tale about a couple of young scammers who scam their way to the top. The film is an okay shoot with some decent acting talent, most notably Kidman look-alike Mazur. However, "TLC" fails in story and substances as it wends it way though a series of obvious contrivances fleshing out characters who little more than shallow mannequins while appearing to dig for depth but never finding it. Not likely to have appeal beyond a niche teen audience. (D)
