College is up next for a group of high-school friends, so Francesca (Scarlett Johansson), the most daring of the group, suggests they steal SAT questions in order to increase their odds of getting into good universities. Hoop star Desmond (Darius Miles), studly Kyle (Chris Evans), working-class Matty (Bryan Greenberg), stoner Roy (Leonardo Nam) and foxy Anna (Erika Christensen) sign on for the scheme. But getting into the test facility after hours proves trickier than any multiple-choice exam.

Critics Consensus

Neither funny nor suspenseful, this heist / teen flick also fails to explore its potentially socially relevant premise.

Daven C

standard teen comedy brought to you by MTV but that's not necessarily a bad thing. chris evans and scarlett johanson along with others bring together a rag tag group of teenagers attempting to cheat there way into a better future by stealing answers to the SAT. while the movie isn't necessarily anything special it's not a bad watch and definitely feels like many of the teen comedies of the early 2000's. if you were in your teens in the early 2000's this movie will probably give you a nice nostalgia kick and it's a half decent way to pass the time.

Lays on its message so thickly and ineptly that even the converted may reconsider their stance.

It looked like it was trying to be another Breakfast Club. It didn't quite meet that standard, though. Some of the acting was horrendous. The romantic pairings were too cliché. I just wanted to see an early project of Chris Evans and ScarJo. So now I've seen it.

It has potential but fell severely flat with way way to many plot holes that made the movie make zero sense...

It shows the struggle of a lot of students but they could have used a different approach for the movie and not the typical teenage movie. Nice touch having "Ocean's Eleven" music in the film.
