‘Election’
There are no politics like high school politics. Election follows the events surrounding a high school election as told by the three candidates and the teacher in charge of the student government. The most dedicated is Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), an obnoxiously ambitious student who is obsessed by her need to become the student body president. The teacher in charge, Mr. McAllister (Matthew Broderick), can’t stand to let her run unopposed. As his personal life unravels, McAllister fixates on destroying Tracy’s chance at being elected, especially after she ruins his friend’s career by having an affair with him. A complicated film that layers dueling obsessions, Election proves a very entertaining ride.
