Ok, so that may be a bit much. Nevertheless, it was a solid comedy that fit perfect into that TGIF-based Friday network programming.
Except it didn't rely on a quirky family set-up or a set of twins playing one person.
Instead it had a hilarious Mark Curry at the center of a hilarious show. His job and everything about him fit.
The side characters were all great, except when Raven Symone was nearly written into nearly as important as a character.
Vanessa was always the perfect babe. Geneva was annoying, but always at the right levels. PJ was the perfect principal to mock. And Omar Gooding, who excelled in Playmakers, was the perfect Ervin.
Frankly, I still miss the show.
And as for that Tyler kid, hilarious as always.
Come back Mark Curry. Celebrity Mole isn't enough!

Those expecting cinematic events like the Godfather or Saving Private Ryan.
Stop reading this.
Those expecting crude teen humor films featuring underage drinking and nudity, such as Road Trip and Varsity Blues.
Stop reading this.
But those of you looking for a teen movie full of the typical adolescent hinjinx and cheap laughs.
Start reading this.
The Perfect Score won't light up the box office or have everyone waiting day after day for its release onto DVD.
Instead, it's a movie targeted towards middle schoolers, high schoolers, and most college students.
Typically good kids under rough circumstances, most of us who have taken the SATs remember the pain in the arse they were. Throw in two very attractive, and talented acting-capable, girls...two guys and a jock...and an Asian pothead quick with one liners...
and you got a pretty solid movie.
While the Perfect Score won't give you everything you want, I feel that it will make you just happy enough that you caught the showing.
So if you're looking for a movie to sit back and relax too...and perhaps vicariously wonder if you could steal the answers to the SAT...check out the movie.
I enjoyed it, and chances are if you kept on reading this post.
You will too.

Simply put, you'd be hard-pressed to find three actors (actresses are actors in my mind) than those of Sean Penn, Naomi Watts, and Benicio Del Toro.
21 Grams united them all under a rising, brilliant director. It gives them a story that interlocks the lives of three desperate soles, searching for the answers to the brutal questions life has asked them.
If that sounds a little cliche, I apologize.
Plainly put, see this movie. Rent it, download it (gasp, did I say that?), and when the time comes please purchase it.
Thee storytelling is that of Tarantino brilliance. A dash of Christopher Nolan (Mememto) can be seen as well.
And in the end, it's the Oscar-caliber performances of Penn, Watts, and Del Toro that take over the movie.
Sean Penn's performance is, if not equal, surpasses that of his award-winning turn in Mystic River. (Which I easily compare this movie to with its amazing sense for plot and character co-development.)
Naomi Watts takes the final step (Mullholland Drive thrust her to the forefront as is) to becoming one of the finest actresses in movies today. If you don't agree, watch her during the movie's most vivid and touching scene (there we so many to choose from) in which she receiver grave information at the hospital. (No spoilers further than this will be found in this post.) Watts not only delivers every emotion that character is feeling, but shows you nearly face-to-face with what she is dealing with. It's mind-blowing.
Del Toro. Well, the guy put out a top 10 performance of the past twenty-five years in Traffic...and he doesn't dissapoint here. In fact, several times throughout the movie you almost believe that he was the only star worth watching.
Again, this movie is brilliant. If you desire deep, powerful acting...check this movie out. If you desire plot development that shifts around, much as life, leaving you only more and more intrigued...check this movie out.
I could do this for days.
Just, check this movie out.
