Cheaters Trivia Quiz

I thought this movie was nearly god-awful. But, hey, every movie deserves a quiz (and I kind of doubt anyone else is going to make one). Enjoy (at least it shouldn't be as bad as the movie was)!

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Dr. Plecki's brother's new job?

Answer: regional sales manager

At a publishing house. Apparently Dr. Plecki's mother doesn't respect his teaching job as a real job.

2. What place did the Steinmetz team get at Regionals?

Answer: fifth

And the teacher of Whitney Young condescendingly returned Dr. Plecki's $20.

3. When planning how to ease back onto the proverbial horse, what does Dr. Plecki suggest a field trip to on Thursday?

Answer: Art Institute

That and studying a little harder, and he figures they'll be pulling out all the stops.

4. How much did Dr. Plecki think the copies cost at the school?

Answer: $0.01

Dr. Plecki's pissed that the sports department gets extravagant funding, when the academic extracurriculars can't exceed a $50 budget.

5. What is Jolie's after school job?

Answer: waitressing at Steve's Place

Yeah, that looked like a really great job. On the upside, though, it didn't look like she had to wear a uniform. Of course, we're supposed to take the image of a teenager working an after school job as a sign of poverty and oppression. Right.

Answer: Portishead

Strangely good music for a movie of this caliber.

7. Who brings the test to Dr. Plecki?

Answer: Irwin Flickas

Though Matt is the one who gets the test originally, Flickas is the one who brings the test to Dr. Plecki.

8. What is the condition Dr. Plecki gives for using the test?

Answer: he asks for unanimous agreement

Then he takes Agnieska (the blonde virgin) on a drive to persuade her of how she's so disadvantaged, so cheating is somehow not really wrong.

9. Where do the kids NOT suggest writing the answers?

Answer: tee-shirt

They actually use the gum and shoe ideas, to some success. They also thought of programming their calculators and beepers. I think these would be sort of suspicious during the English or Social Studies parts of the exam.

10. When Steinmetz is announced winning team at State, what movie's theme song is played?

Answer: Rocky

This was cheesy and was meant to be a celebration of the underdog, but it was a very cheap victory in this movie.

11. How did Constantine Kiamos (the principal) first hear talk of cheating on the part of his school's team?

Answer: Flickas wrote an expose-type story in writing class.

He didn't seem happy, but he also seemed more than eager to dismiss the idea.

12. What was the ethnicity of the people who were accused of cheating in the video the team watched?

Answer: Latino

It was from this video that the group took the argument that retaking the test would be an admission of guilt. Apparently they felt a brotherhood with the oppressed people in the video, as the Steinmetz kids were oppressed by their limited opportunities and financial resources. Ah, pity them.

13. How much was lawyer Robert A. Clifford being paid to represent the team?

Answer: nothing

He was working pro bono as a favor for Constantine Kiamos and because he, too, felt he could relate to the situation of the team, having worked his way up to great success with little help.

14. Where was there an ad about the cheating story that Matt Kur saw?

Answer: on the bus

Can they really get signs painted onto buses in less than 12 hours? Seems unlikely to me. God bless Hollywood.

15. What written work book-ended this movie?

Answer: Paradise Lost

This was a less than subtle parallel.
