The Perfect Score actually had some potential to be a satisfyingly ridiculous heist movie. Instead, it's not funny, the dialogue is atrocious, and the all the characters have somehow learned their lessons at the end of the movie without any real character development or consequences. Overall, this is a very painful movie to watch, a film that dumbly eschews the best practices of storytelling.

Mostly a good cast, including a young redhead Scarlett Johansson and Erika Christensen. This is an improbable story about high school seniors attempting to steal the SAT scores, and sort of succeeding. While the movie was OK to watch and had a few good situations, the script and the ending was unrealistic and unsatisfying. Music was good. Acting was split between OK and good. It was barely worth watching and would have been a lot less cheesy with a better last 10 minutes.

I wish they would have cheated just so they could have gotten in trouble for it, these characters were pretty unlikable.

"An MTV film that extreme right-wing moralists can be proud of, as it posits a quintessentially American world of racial, intellectual, and sexual conformity." - Keith Uhlich

A story simple and predictable, but engaging, charismatic and funny characters, extreme situations and a ironic end. "I'd kinda like to be Blanka."

Lame. Scarlett Johansson and Erica Christensen are both better than this.

Two massive problems: first, 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 and make him the narrator. It would be better off without Nam altogether. He's intolerable and the fact he smokes pot leads to the inevitably stupid and preachy "Why are you ruining your life with marijuana?" scene. Still, it's watchable. If it came on TV, I wouldn't change the channel.

The cliched plot and characters ruined what was never a bright or quirky coming of age tale.

Gah...so...didactic. 'Through the power of working together, we can all get perfect scores...but we're so dumb we don't use any of the answers we worked so hard to (sorta) get.' NO...TEENAGER...WOULD...EVER...DO...THIS. ( That's the problem with having writers in their 40s writing from the perspective of teens. ) Most aren't smart enough. Those that are got a 1200 on the SAT in 8th grade. Truly.

Surprisingly watchable (by which I mean I'm surprised it's not unwatchable), even when it makes some real head-scratching detours (a shot-for-shot recreation of the opening scene from The Matrix for no reason).

Sadly, Darius Miles is a better actor than he is a basketball player.

I promise I'm generally not a bragging person, but I got a 1470 on my SAT first try without studying, so this movie made me feel smug and superior.

The script is a dud, and no amount of spit and polish can disguise the fact that this is as boneheaded and misguided an idea for a major motion picture release as it gets. No 1600 score for this underachiever -- perhaps The Perfect Snore would have been more appropriate a title.

A semi entertaining teen comedy about a group of high schoolers who decide to cooperate to steal the SAT because they all need to pass for different reason.

Stupid predictable teen comedy. Occasionally made me crack a smile but pretty forgettable otherwise.

Two actors who were underrated at the time (Johansson, Evans) making this suprisngly good at times. Weak acting by the basketball player and pot-head weaken it all though.
