Review of The Perfect Score (2004) by Rehan H — 06 Aug 2009
How do you get The Perfect Score on the SAT exam? For a group of stressed-out teens, the only way is to steal the answers. Six students plot a hilarious heist at the testing center to prevent the standardized test from unfairly defining their lives. The wildly different classmates band together and while getting to know each other, they show themselves in the process. Plus, everyone in the group knows their own set of circumstances that could make (or break) their futures, in their only way to cheat the system.
Directed by Brian Robbins, The Perfect Score features great acting performances from the following cast:
1.) Scarlett Johansson (Francesca).
2.) Erika Christensen (Anna).
3.) Chris Evans (Kyle).
4.) Darius Miles (Desmond).
5.) Leonardo Nam (Roy).
The Perfect Score truly reveals that, of all of the stressed-out teens who are on the verge of high school graduation while dreading SAT testing, few of them could go Ocean's Eleven by stealing its answers. It is considered criminal in nature, so that's cheating. But at least that helps them define their futures. Thankfully I didn't have to take any college admission exams or I may had ended up somewhere like Kyle and Co. Beyond that, this MTV-made film is a favorite pick from the early 2000s, when it was untouched by reality TV. And it's nice to see great acting performances from the cast including a red-hair-dyed ScarJo in a rebellious-looking fashion.
