Review of The Perfect Score (2004) by Justin M — 24 Jul 2009

Passably entertaining, but weighted down by two massive problems: firstly, the "heist" is pure nonsense. The movie never really explains what the plan is, and does an incredibly sloppy job of pulling it off. Second, they take the most irritating character in the film, and make him the narrator for chrissake. It really would be better off without Leonardo Nam's character entirely. He's intolerable and the fact that he smokes pot leads to the inevitably stupid and preachy "Why are you ruining your life with marijuana?" scene.

Outside of that, it has a couple of good scenes, and makes an interesting comment on what it's like to be a student in this day and age. It's not great, but if it came on TV, I wouldn't change the channel.
