'Score' likely to make you snore

How many things can the letters SAT stand for? Suck Ass Test, for one. Stoned And Toasted, for another. But the jokes stop there in MTV's horrible, horrible attempt at moviemaking. Stick to just not showing music videos, MTV. \nThe gauze-thin plot centers around six high schoolers and their attempt to steal the answers to the dreaded SAT. The high point of the film is the soundtrack, which is full of fun new rock. It'll be a big seller among the high-school set. But ultimately, some kickin' tunes aren't enough to salvage this movie. It can be appreciated that someone is addressing the issues surrounding standardized testing, but a feature length movie? Doesn't MTV have "Real Life" for that?\nThe most disappointing aspect the movie, besides the script, was the waste of a promising young cast. Erika Christensen, who was so dazzling in "Traffic," was miserable as the overachieving young beauty who freezes on standardized tests. It is, essentially, the same character she played in the aforementioned film, but minus the drug addiction. How then, is it, she gave such a miserable, see-through performance? Chris Evans of "Not Another Teen Movie" fame plays a hopeful young high school senior who desperately wants to be an architect -- but his SAT scores aren't high enough. He's the mastermind behind the heist to steal the answers to the SAT, but gives a performance that suggests he's likely to be the next big thing if only he had the skills to pull it off. Scarlett Johansson isn't bad, in her sexy, bad girl role, but I get the feeling that even she realized how dumb this movie was. In the wake of "Lost in Translation," why did she do this movie? Leonardo Nam, as the whip-smart stoner, is the movie's high point, pun fully intended. He's hysterical and his delivery is dead-on in a sly, oversexed way. \nThe heist, although moderately well conceived, is bungled horribly by these crazy kids. Obvious goof up after obvious goof up makes for an eye-rolling good time, but it can only go on so long. An overly-easy resolution and a few feel-good romantic beginnings coat the movie in sugar, but ultimately, it left a bad taste in my mouth.
