For all those who want to proceed ahead with college and a career of their choice, SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) looms large on the horizon, an obstacle that must be overcome with great skill and effort. Verbal and math abilities are tested. In this entertaining film directed by Brian Robbins (Varsity Blues) from a script by Mark Schwahn, Masrc Hyman and Jon Zack, a handful of dissatisfied students decide to fight the system that stereotypes them by breaking into the Educational Testing Building and stealing the answers. They all share a disappointment with the scores they got. Kyle (Chris Evans) wants to attend Cornell and become an architect, a dream he has since he was a child. His best friend Matty (Bryan Greenberg) wants to go to the University of Maryland where his girlfriend is already enrolled. Anna (Erika Christensen), an academic overachiever, whose parents are pressuring her to attend Brown, has frozen under all the tension. Darius Miles (an NBA star in real life) needs to jack up his score so he can get into St. John's which is offering him a scholarship. Roy (Leonardo Nam), a stoner, joins the heist just to have some fun. Of course, his talents as a computer wiz are just what the group needs. The person who makes the whole scheme possible is Francesca (Scarlett Johansson), the rebellious daughter of a wealthy executive at the testing company. She is upset over the stream of young women her father is dating. Perfect Score rightly criticizes the importance given to SAT and the surprising finale makes the valid point that teen-agers consistently underestimate their genuine talents and abilities.
