Movie Reviews of The Perfect Score (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Mild, entertaining distraction
Summary: 3 Stars
There's lots of cliches and stereotypes to endure when watching a high school movie. For the most of it, The Perfect Score manages to avoid most of these cliches though the characters are a bit stereotypical. There's the brainy kid, the rebel, the stoner, the loser, the jock and the good guy. Hardly a breathtaking assortment of originals eh?
But their plan to steal the SAT scores and their interaction together are what make this movie worthwhile. The unimaginative marketing for this movie claims it to be Ocean's 11 meets The Breakfast Club. But the actors are carrying the movie, doing the best they can with weak material, rather than the `wild' premise.
I especially liked Roy, the stoner and narrator as he got the most back story and had more a character arc than the rest of them. And it was pleasant to have the lovely, oh-so-cute Erika Christensen though I'm not too fussed about Scarlett Johansen (she looks like a teenage version of my mother!). A non-Shaggy, but still manic, Matthew Lillard has a small role as a concerned big brother.
You'll not remember it 5 minutes after the credits role but for a non-threatening, easy-going movie The Perfect Score fits nicely. You could do a helluva lot worse. And what else do you expect from an MTV movie?
The DVD is in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen with lacklustre Dolby 5.1, though to be fair it mostly a dialogue-driven movie. There are a bunch of fluff features for those who care.

Summary: 5 Stars
omigod! this movie was hilarious! i couldn't stop laughing! it's a great movie to watch with your friends or when you need a good laugh!!Movie Review: The Perfect Flop
Summary: 1 Stars
This has to be the worst film I've seen this year. As the Amazon.com description reads "mutuant hybrid of a heist movie and The Breakfast Club", it's exactly right, but neither story is done well. This film is also filled cliche' upon cliche'. It is not funny. It is not entertaining. It is, however, a good way to waste 90 minutes of life with zero fulfilmment. Not even Chris Evans and Erika Christensen, the "beauties" of the movie, could save this horrible script. No wonder this made it to rental shelves faster than Godzilla did!
I wonder what SAT score the writer/producer got? After seeing this tedious piece of trash, I'd guess not too high.
Movie Review: Commerical
Summary: 2 Stars
Well it only looks good from the preview but really its a crappy movie. There was a way to relate to the movie if you were in high school but it was a crappy cliche love story part. I like the idea of the movie but not the movie itself. Movie Review: Excellent Acting-Excellent Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I'm pretty sure that some of you guys who have reviewed this have already taken your SAT's and probably didn't think it was as bad as the movie made it seem. Oh well, I haven't actually taken my SAT's yet (hello, I'm only 12, so unless I'm some genius it's impossible) but I think the movie was funny, I have older siblings who have both stressed over the SAT's, my older sister who just graduated this year saw the preview for this movie and she dragged me with her to the theater along with my best guy friend and her boyfriend. The movie was so funny! She saw it because she was worried about her SAT's and so was her boyfriend, they had already taken the PSAT's and gotten good scores but were still worried about the actual SAT's. Anyway, the movie had such hiliarious acting in it. Scarlett Johansen (who played Francesca) was like 10 times better in this than she was in Lost in Translation, I hate her as a blonde and that movie sucked, Erica Christensen did a really good job as Anna. I didn't mind Chris Evan's in Not Another Teen Movie but he did a much better job in this one. Leonardo Nam as Roy was hysterical! Bryan Greenberg did a great job as Matty and Darius Miles made a great Desmond. And of course I can't forget my absolute favorite actor, Matthew Lillard who was perfect for the role of Larry, Kyle (Chris Evan)'s college dropout brother who lived above their garage. I think this is a great teen flick, as soon as it came out I went to the store and bought it. It is such a good movie!
