Six high school seniors decide to break into the Princeton Testing Center so they can steal the answers to their upcoming SAT tests and all get perfect scores.
Rating:7/10 Ocean's Eleven meets The Breakfast Club. Well this movie isn't as good of either of those, but this was still likable and fun to watch. This is a simple story. Six teenagers are going to try and steal the SAT. Simple. There is an obvious collection of steroetypical kids who come from all diferent sects of the school. With that, this movie plays off well and you can see the chemistry that the group has. The diversity of the characters come with some strange conversations. The actors do all quite well with what they have to work with. The movie is a little unpredictable, especially towards the end. I was not expecting for what happen to one of the characters. Leonardo Nam stole this movie. He was usually pretty funny when he was onscreen. Not all the time, but most of it. There was some touching moments as well, especially towards the end as we see what happens when someone sacrifices himself and the deep conversations that happen after the heist is pulled off. This was quite an enjoyable popcorn movie. Not quite a superb comedy, but it works.
