Additional InformationDirector 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.
ReviewsVariety - [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
