I decided to buy this film having recently read the book by Tom Perotta which it was based on. Often film adaptations can be dissapointing but the cast (Starring Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick) are excellent. It's a dark comedy rather than the usual slapstick you get in teen movies and stays pretty faithful to the book if you're a fan, although there are some changes here and there. The main plot centers round teacher Mr. M, who decides to rig the school election so that a popular jock wins instead of scheming, ambitious student Tracy Flick. He just doesnt realise how much this decision will effect his life and those of others around him. If you like black comedy then I would say give it a go, it's a bit different, well acted and good fun.
reese withersppoon plays tracy flick,a straight-a go-getter determined to be president of carver high's student body.popular teacher jim mcallister{brodrick}decides to derail track's obsessive overachieving by recruiting an opposition candidate.mr.m never imagines that stopping tracy is like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.a really good film.
Top-notch comedy about a high school election that turns into a battle royal. Reese Witherspoon is the unstoppable force who yearns to be boss of the student council, and won't take any prisoners. Matthew Broderick is the long-suffering teacher who decides to sabotage her campaign. Sub-plots of infidelity, a rampaging lesbian, a randy teacher and a nice-but-dim football player pitched into school politics make this gem a must-see.
