The story is a bit of a teenage Oceans 11 breaking into the ETS offices to steal the answers of the SATs.There is a story for each person in the diverse group of kids who have various reasons for wanting the test results. In the end it felt like a waste of time and lost steam during the break in which felt like an anti climax.Watching this movie in 2013 it's interesting to see some of the appealing cast members have become quite famous since then especially Chris Evans and Scarlett Johannson who looks quite different. She really blends into the role she is playing.Not worth a watch despite a likable cast.

"The Perfect Score" is like your typical high school movie. When things get tough (the SATs), the not-so-tough turn to crime (stealing the SATs). These students are able to justify their crime with their morally-weak minds. That at least is like high school I know, self-important students are able to justify anything if it's something they want.They tried to present us with both plot and characters. These are characters we've all seen many times before, including such classics as the sports star, the over-achiever, the stoner, and the better-than-thou rebel. They are all painfully, predictably cliché. The plot is why they get at least a few stars but not many.Where "The Perfect Score" falters the most, is with the 'hooks' MTV tried to give it: it's narrated by the stoner, and everyone speaks with only swear words. Stoners of course typically speak slower than an average person which just make all the predictable things he's going to say and the inevitable events happen even slower. The exaggerated use of swear words I'm assuming is just to give the movie an edge. Just remember that this is produced by MTV, that should be all I have to say.

I bought this movie awhile after it came out and I am so glad I did! The movie is about a group of high school teens who are in completely different social and financial circles who come together to steal the SAT answers.It starts out with them all mad about their scores and trying to find some way to get into the schools they dream of. Then they come together to formulate a plan. They don't get along and repeatedly annoy each other. Then when Kyle (Chris Evans) puts what their futeure and dreams can become they cooperate and carry out their plan.There are the traditional characters. The Valad Victorian, the stoner, the jock, the rich lonely girl, and the two average guys. While romances may seem cheesy and overused the relationships that form between Kyle and Anna and Matty and Franchesca are interesting and draw you in.Then when their plan goes awry and the cops show up Matty takes the fall saving Franchesca. She bails him out and they all meet in the morning to get copies of the answers. That is where they discover they actually like who they are and don't need the answers to succeed. Again sounds totally cheesy but it was good.Overall this movie is one of the great teen movies. Teens from 13-19 will love this movie. I recommend it.

Six students plan a heist operation to steal the answers of their upcoming SAT... the plot is simple and definitely not that original. The characters are quite stereotypical, they speak predicted dialogues and their actions don't prove any innovation of the screenwriters. Still, this movie produced by MTV doesn't appear as boring, irritating or silly. On the other hand it has some occasional funny moments like Francesca as Trinity in her daydream etc.The cast is actually the main reason I watched this film. Scarlett Johansson looks great and pulls off a nice professional performance. Erika Christensen and Chris Evans are also there but I didn't recognize the other guys. The bottomline is that I didn't really think this movie is bad at all... it's a fine one to watch in a relaxed mood.
