Movie Review

Directed by Bryan Robbins (�Varsity Blues�) and starring Scarlett Johansson (�Lost in Translation�), �The Perfect Score� tries to pay homage to films such as �Saint Elmo's Fire� and �The Breakfast Club�. Unfortunately, it was a failed attempt.

The film is filled with stereotypes aimed at teenage audiences.

A cheesy script complements the generic and predictable plot. Not only was the acting robotic but the transition between scenes was choppy. I lost interest halfway through the film.

To top it off, the ending of the movie felt like a Disney after school special, jam packed with politically correct morals.

Why Hollywood keeps producing mindless drivel remains a mystery to me. The whole film seems like a marketing ploy.

Overall� I really disliked this film. I felt like I wasted two hours of my life. If you get a chance to go to the movies sometime soon, I would recommend passing this one up. I give �The Perfect Score� a less than perfect 2 out of 5.
