Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

callingham-87016 Just watched this nonsensical movie on DVD. Plot holes you could drive a bus through, and characters switch between extreme emotional states (e.g. scared to death - loving) with abandon. Spent the whole time screaming at the screen "You're doing what?!". Teenage characters forget mobile phones have cameras, parties can't be cancelled because they've been posted on social media (!) and, most incredibly (SPOILER), a girl leaves their boyfriend in the car whilst going to have a chat with the guy to tried to rape her! ("I can handle it", she explains??!!) As with the last reviewer, the end came out of nowhere, adding to the overall incoherence. Acting and camera-work okay.

thekarmicnomad Every year a senior dies before graduation. This is the curse. A girl living in Downers Grove gets into an auticattion with another student on the lead up to graduation.This has good production, good characters and great acting. The problem? It is as boring as hell.The story is one of the most pedestrian I have ever come across. Yet despite its dullness manages not to be believable.Without spoiling I would say that the supernatural element is very light.The director and actors deserve more but this is just to dull to contemplate.

Puffer Bluntman The Curse of Downers Grove would probably have been an OK by-the-book revenge/payback thriller with elements of home invasion in line with I Spit On Your Grave and An Eye For An Eye... if it wasn't for the absolutely out of nowhere W.T.F. ending, which just leaves you wondering what the hell that was all about. Without giving out any spoilers, the general feeling The Curse of Downer Grove leaves you with is as if you were reading a decent Stephen King book which for some reason ended with a sentence "And then they all got naked and started farting on each other". You might have enjoyed the rest of the text, but the way it ends would just leave you wondering just what exactly went wrong there.

InfinateANGELzPORTALz Firstly,I do my best to Not give any spoilers away yet not label it as possibly havin any "Spoilers",so I stick to not saying much more than the film description.I ALSO used the terms "summed up",to kind of indirectly give others the general gist(in my opinion)of just a portion said by Steve Pulaski,in the review,that was a rather long one.But he made a valid point of whether or not this film is to be "labeled" as a Horror movie,rather than just a Mystery Thriller Drama.It was really the only thing I either missed,or that in my opinion it didn't meet the Horror.I will say that we all have our opinions also of what Horror film "guidelines"they should at least meet,&also at least a minimal that makes'em Horror flicks-good or bad when it comes down to movie making&how well the horror parts were as well.Although,Throughout this whole movie it definitely was not bad,And the actors did rather good as well,too!When I'd read the description & thought it potentially seemed to be a good movie.I wasn't entirely disappointed in thinking while watching the film had a good story line,it was well done movie,not all over the place but flowed rather well.I did really find it to be entertaining to watch!That all being said without giving anything away,I do hope other give this a try,as everyone's opinion is different.You may agree with me,or not,but I hope you watch and enjoy it at least alittle too!!
