The Perfect Score (2004): Dir: Brian Robbins / Cast: Erika Christensen, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Bryan Greenberg, Darius Miles: Pathetic showcasing about how we are evaluated based on test scores. The screenplay assembles six types as oppose to personalities and involves them in a scheme to steal the SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) answers and then throw in a phony revelation where they realize that they don't need it. What a crock. Director Brian Robbins has made garbage before in the form of Good Burger and Ready to Rumble but this time he has a difficult time keeping that boom microphone from bobbing into frame. Perhaps he should try to figure out what he did right with Varsity Blues. Among the cast is Erika Christensen playing the typical snob who wishes to defy her parents. One must wonder how Scarlett Johansson went from Lost in Translation to this? Was she having a bad day? Did she lose a bet and become the butt of a cruel pay up? Chris Evans, Darius Miles and Bryan Greenberg also make forgettable appearances. There is a half-ass theme regarding abilities ignored in favour of test scores but this film scores low and contains no ability in any department. Its potential arguments are second hand to the ridiculous storytelling. Best advice is to scrape this film into a trash bin and that would be the perfect score for any victimized viewer. Score: 1 / 10

I think this is actually the worst film I've ever seen. This is mainly because it doesn't even fall into the "so bad that it's good" category: it manages to be absolutely awful without being entertaining. The diversity in the main characters just looks forced, and the moral message at the end is so obvious, so trite and so predictable that I wanted to beat my head against the wall.The only reason I even continued watching to the end is that I was with a group of friends. Had it just been me, I'd have stopped it before the half-way mark.One curiosity about the film, I should add, is that it has a relatively young Scarlett Johansson in it. But even she can't save a film this bad.

I bet 99% watch this movie because it got Scarlett Johansson in it; after all this is the movie that came just after The Critically acclaimed Lost In Translation. I was one of them.The story is not something that you haven't seen before but still, the whole outcome of the movie work out just fine. It is like watching a heist movie, but instead of money this time around it is an answer paper to SAT exam, the most importance thing too most senior.I say the casting is the best part of the movie, not just Scarlett but also every single one of them. In fact I feel that Scarlett didn't do anything much in this movie, so do not have high hope just to see Scarlett alone. Roy character seem to be the most liking of all with his livelihood personality, he does add fun and humor to this movie.What I like about the movie is the way they show how evil SAT actually is and how most students is desperate with it. The movie move from one point of view to the other of how they all come to joint force to break those rules. Of-course this is no perfect teen movie, but it is good enough for one boring afternoon.Recommendation: Don't Watch It Just Because Scarlett Is In It, Watch It If You Plan To Steal SAT answer paper in The Near Future.Rating: 6/10 (Grade: C+)

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.
