Yeah, I can see that angle to it, but I don't feel like they did that well because he didn't learn anything in the film itself. It felt more like him not doing very well, rather than going through a learning curve.

"curve" means: Bent without angles; crooked; curved.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (obsolete) — usage may sound odd outside that variety.

In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.
