It's not bad "genious", just bad movie...

As other reviews already mentioned, there's not much romantic tension here, most of the "thrill" here consists of watching details of ugly sweating foreheads of various students trying to cheat in tests, which is dramatized by use of slow motion or sharp music. Gee. The characters interactions was what made - at least at first - the movie interesting, certainly not the ways they were cheating, that was not actually very clever, certainly pretty far from "genious". But what to do, when the test itself is kinda stupid. I mean, to tick one of 4 possible answers for written questions? They would have to answer open questions, not be given 4 options (then even the random luck then can give you some points: points you don't deserve). Also we all know it's not sufficient to pass WRITTEN tests. Therefore all this movie's drama about checking A, B, C, D is kinda to be obsolete. And all the creative planning this movie's characters did to cheat test? If they put the exact time and effort into actually learning the studied subject, then - besides actually having something useful in their heads - it couldn't possibly be harder, right? I mean, the stuff they did LOL I had to laugh when they tried to make an "action movie" out of this (the whole Sydney part) including hot pursuit to the bathroom or subway station:-p I wasn't thrilled, I just laughed. Just as nonsensical were this movie's scriptwriters, so were the characters. Apart from (needlessly) becoming frauds, they all could get money/good grades easier.
