I rented this movie last night, hoping for some laughs. The cover says "The Breakfast Club meets Oceans Eleven." Those are two of my favorite movies and I am utterly appalled that someone tried to compare either of those to The Perfect Score. Sure, they tried to make it like those films, I actually think they used some of the same music as Ocean's Eleven, but they failed miserably. The film consists of six very different teens, who all need the answers to the SAT's for different reasons. While the film has a few great actors, the cheesy and unintelligent script makes even Scarlett Johansson (spelling?) look bad. The film is narrated by a so-called stoner, who sounds more mentally challenged than stoned. The only time I actually laughed in the entire film was when they played "Because I Got High..." The characters make very stupid decisions and the movie is a constant drag. The all too happy ending does not surprise, just disappoints and makes you wonder why on earth you just watched this movie. For those who are saying this movie is a great "teen flick" I heartily disagree. I am a teen and the only thing this movie did for me was make me feel embarrassed to be associated with people like this. This long, cheesy, dull movie is not worth even a rental...unless you are looking for something to put you to sleep at night.
