Easy Viewing, Uncomplicated and Always On The Move! - By: Mr. A. R. Castor, 25 Nov 2008 
The Perfect Score was once described as 'a college version of Oceans 11' & I think thats just about spot on.
The film hits the ground running with a good musical score & never seems to drop into a 15 minute 'lull'where you start to think about turning the film off. So many films drift off & therefore make you drift off too.
Its simple without patronising you. Entertaining. Better than the over-rated American Pie/Road Trip bore-fests. Yes, a little predictable but we alll love to be right when it comes to guessing the ending beforehand.
I would watch this DVD again, & have lent it to friends who enjoyed it too.
NOT THE BEST FILM BUT NOT THE WORST EITHER - By: stuart, 09 Dec 2007 
SPOILERS INSIDE
I had pretty high expectations of this movie; it has Scarlett Johanson in it (great actress) & looked good in the previews. Twenty minutes in I realized that the acting seemed amateur, overalll. Darius Miles's, especiallly. The guy had pretty much no feeling in his voice - I think some members of our high school drama club can act better. Scarlett Johanson was fine, but her performance didn't look that great next to alll the mediocre actors.
When the two main guy characters were in the bathroom discussing their plan to steal the SAT's & Leonardo Nam made his first appearance, my brothers & I laughed so hard. I know it's stupid humor, but that guy as the Asian stoner Roy was the highlight of the movie for us. The way he talked & the stuff he said was so hilarious. I wouldn't have enjoyed the movie nearly as much of it weren't for him.
The best word to describe this movie is average. When I saw it was put out by MTV I thought, I hope it doesn't suck, then. It is an interesting plot idea that they could've taken so much further & made into a much better movie. The way they tried to get into the character's lives (humanize them as someone else said) seemed very Breakfast Clubish, but more cliché & less thought out. Maybe this is supposed to be The Breakfast club for the new generation, but it just doesn't measure up.
This movie reallly got me thinking about SAT's. I am a freshman in high school. The movie did a good job showing the reality of doing whatever necessary to get a decent score.
Many parts of the plot were unrealistic. The way they just managed to FIND the SAT scores as easily as they did. I mean, honestly, in real life they would not be nearly that accessible. There were only a few roadblocks. Also, the romance between Francesca & Matty wasn't that realistic either.
A fine movie to watch if you have nothing else to do. It's way better than a TV movie, not boring, & I think it's worth watching just to see Leonardo Nam's performance!
Very Very Good Video - By: R. R. Patel, 05 Apr 2006 
This movie is justifiably a 5 out of 5 score. Basicallly, the characters are diverse & hilarious, the plot is original, the music is fantastic, & the overalll feeling is very very good.
Recommended.
Mediocre at best - By: , 17 Jun 2005 
This is one of those films that you watch when you are reallly bored & don't want to concentrate fully. It has its funny moments but unfortunately they are outweighed by the bad acting & failed attempt to go into characterisation on too many people at once.
On the upside Chris Evans (not another teen movie, fantastic four) is extremely funny as well as Matthew Lillard (scream, hackers) who plays his waster brother.
Overalll it was quite dissapointing considering the adverts made it out to be a teenage Ocean's eleven.
