Critic's Grade:

B-

If you must assistance "The Perfect Score" with a view one act and one vindication unexcelled, then get the drift it for the exemplary accomplishment of Scarlett Johansson, who since her breakthrough roles in "The Horse Whisperer" and "Ghost World" has managed to become harmonious of the best young actresses working in Hollywood today. She is a light in a movie that is ripe with good ideas, but doesn't thoroughly know how to improve them properly. It tells the story-line of a group of five teenagers, all high college seniors, who have had their hopes of attending discernible colleges dashed by low S.A.T. scores. Kyle (Chris Evans) wants to attend a school of architecture, while his best playmate Matty (Bryan Greenberg) hopes to be with his girlfriend at the University of Maryland. Stem-up valedictorian Anna (Erika Christensen) doesn't do so well supervised intimidation, nor does Desmond (Darius Miles), the star basketball player who hopes to honor his mother's wishes by having a backup plan in case he doesn't make it in the NBA.

Together, with the help of Francesca (Johansson), the daughter of the proprietor of the structure where the College Board keeps the S.A.T. operations, they devise a method of breaking in and stealing the answers to the make-up test due to memorandum of place in two weeks. This is where the film has quite a insufficient hits and misses, wondrous some comical chords with the disrespectful humor and interactions of its cast members (kudos to Leonardo Nam, who plays the quick-witted stoner Roy to rollicking perfection), but failing to look at the bigger picture of how standardized testing basically negates what students have been taught for uncountable, myriad years: to be themselves. This argument is presented numerous times through conference, but is never fully developed as a sound message, something the talking picture needs desperately. As for its tract, it's a standardized test in itself, a basic rehash of knowledgeable ideas and time-changing scenarios where everything turns out okay in the unceasingly. Real life knows punter than that, and so should "The Perfect Score."
