Reviews
Variety - [An] insidiously funny satire... Smart, sophisticated, New York Times - Broderick knows how to make a fool of himself in very funny ways, and he gives a sneakily good performance here, Total Film - Briskly paced, painfully funny and pretty much unmissable, Sight And Sound - ELECTION is a wonderfully acidulous satire... [The film] turns the usual conventions of the high-school comedy on their head

Additional Information
Director Alexander (CITIZEN RUTH) Payne's second film, based on the novel by Jim Perotta, takes the scandal and mudslinging associated with presidential elections and transposes them to a high school election for student council president in Nebraska- with impossibly sharp, satirical results. Matthew Broderick, in a reversal of FERRIS BUELLER, plays Jim McAllister, a teacher who will stop at nothing to prevent perfect Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), who is running unopposed, from winning the election. Jim, who bears a personal grudge against Tracy, goads a popular but dim football player into running against her. This spurs on a series strange events, (both madcap and surprisingly sexual) which add up to an uncommonly funny high school film for grown ups. Performances are great all-around and Payne uses shifting-narration and a series of freeze frames which give the film a rich and layered feel.

  • Smarter than the average high school comedy!

    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.

  • excellant film

    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.

  • This comedy gets my vote

    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.
