Sorry, this movie sucks

One of my all time favorites.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like it. The movie was made 14 years ago & the stars are all grown up now. I love several of them now so I thought I would give their teen movie a peep. So glad I did! A teen themed movie that doesn't make me feel like my intelligence has been insulted. I'm amazed it slipped past me 14 years ago!

While no real attempts to break the typical teen movie vibe, the film did provide decent comic relief. It fits well for the MTV target demo and personally never tire of seeing Scarlett Johansson. The plot idea is good, but needed quite a bit more work from a better team to make this movie better. But for a quick score and considering the source (MTV), it could have been much worse. I did enjoy the movie, but won't be putting it the ready to watch cue. More character depth would have given a bit more credibility to overall feel. Don't go in looking for a Breakfast Club level movie. It's fun, easy on the brain and as Roy would say, "It's something to do".

"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.

Some teens want to guarantee their entry into college, so they come up with a seemingly brilliant scheme to steal the answers to the SAT. Each of them has his or her own reasons for wanting to go to college so badly that they'd risk everything to get their hands on the SAT.The storyline was mildly interesting, but it was definitely for teens and pre-teens. The acting left a lot to be desired. I watched it expecting it to be funny... it was not. Fortunately, I wasn't thoroughly annoyed with the "Breakfast Club" bunch as I am usually bothered by movies starring teens. It was an alright movie for an MTV production.
