Some people have done statistics, telling about movies of all ages, from infants to teenagers in middle school, and then to college in their 20s, the teens and 20s are the most involved in movies. For a long time, whether it is a commercial entertainment film or an artistic niche film, they like to describe the stories of this age group. Although the former focuses on being funny and cheerful, the latter is often cold and decadent. Strangely, this phenomenon seems to have changed in recent years, with less and less romantic comedy featuring teenage boys and girls.
This "The Perfect Score" is undoubtedly a standard "high school campus film", completely featuring teenage middle school students as the protagonists, unfolding the plot story according to their lives and personalities, inspired by the early "She's Girl". All That, and a bit like The Cheaters , are all about exam cheating.
To give the film a solid footing and more credibility, Thorin/ Jerome Robbins Films, which produced the film, chose actors young enough to look like high school kids. For example, the red-haired sweetheart Scarlett Jonsson, who was only 17 years old when the film was filmed, played a student who was actually older than her in the film, and she was not the same as her character until the film was finished. big. However, due to the consideration of age and personality, the film encountered difficulties in performance, and could only choose some newcomers to the screen.
The original manuscript for The Perfect Score was co-written by Osmosis Jones writers Mark Heyman and Jon Zucker, who both sent the script to Paramount Pictures, Inc. in 1998 , but the manuscript does not appear to be the same. Unlike a script, the production company later brought in Mark Schwarn, who was hired to revise the script, to polish the manuscript.
