What critics compared The Perfect Score to
The dialogue in "The Perfect Score" mentions " The Breakfast Club ," which is nice.
The results are a retread of The Breakfast Club dressed up as a caper flick.
"The Perfect Score," a suspiciously stale MTV Films production, references "The Breakfast Club" about midway through, and the movie's few good moments echo the spirit of existential, youthful rebellion captured by that 1985 minor classic.
In fact, Francesca jokes at one point that they should all get real and dish about their feelings, � la The Breakfast Club --which is indeed what they end up doing.
A remake in quality and spirit of the "what were they thinking" classic Hackers, Brian Robbins' The Perfect Score is one of those stunted adolescent teensploitation flicks that makes one pine for the suddenly-glory days of Fresh Horses and The Breakfast Club --which, as it happens, seems to serve as this flick's carbuncular muse.
Similarly, it tries to blend movies such as The Breakfast Club (the characters roughly correspond, with one left over), Mission Impossible and Ocean’s 11, with little success or originality.
