Film Description: In this satirical comedy, a hotly contested high school election becomes a metaphor for the current state of American politics. Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) is a popular and well-respected instructor at George Washington Carver High School in Omaha, Nebraska, but lately he's been unhappy in both his personal and professional life, and his anxieties finally come to a head with the school's student elections. Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) is running for student body president, and she certainly seems like the sort of girl who would win a high school election -- she's pretty, popular and takes part in all the right extra-curricular activities. In fact, she seems so perfect she's running unopposed, which offends McAllister's sense of democracy (not to mention the fact he doesn't like her very much). So Jim intervenes and persuades Paul Metzler (Chris Klein) to run against Tracy. Paul is not terribly bright and is entirely unqualified to be student president, but as a star of the school's football team (before a leg injury sidelined him), he's popular enough to at least give Tracy a run for her money. Just as the race begins to heat up, a spanner is truly thrown into the works when Paul's sister, Tammy (Jessica Campbell) announces she's also running for office. Publicly, Tammy's platform is that the student elections are ultimately pointless and if she's elected, she'll eliminate them altogether. Privately, Tammy is out for revenge against her brother; it seems Tammy is experimenting with her sexuality, and a recent fling with a bisexual classmate named Lisa (Frankie Ingrassia) ended when Lisa dumped her to start going out with Paul. Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, Election was directed by Alexander Payne, who won enthusiastic reviews for his debut feature, Citizen Ruth; Payne also co-wrote the screenplay with Jim Taylor.

Reese Witherspoon hilariously portrays Tracy the way every A+ student running for President is: hard working,ambitious, and above all else,feared. You can tell from her mannerisms and facial expressions. Matthew Broderick had reasons to be scared.

[Babs McConologue]

One of my favorite comedies. Reese should have recieved an Oscar nomination for this movie.

[Trialbystone17]

I came hear for that "tribal scream reaction" Tracy Flick thinks of when she's pissed off. Anyone know what I'm on about and can point me in the right direction?



[magnolianiac]

Anne Hathaway was just like this in high school.

[773SleepyHollow]

Well, I think that the more savvy teenagers would really enjoy it.

[roter13]

rachel berry of season 1 of glee is a copy of this character

[javadude54]

It sounds like "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK....".

[Erik Tóth]

what's the name of background music?

Tracy Flick inspires me. One of my favourite fictional characters of all time.
