Summary: A Smart Teenage Dark Comedy!
Review: This is one of the smartest and more sophisticated teen comedies of the decade. Matthew Broderick lands his best role since 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off', and Reese Witherspoon gives a good performance and makes the best of an un-simpathetic character. Essentially a dark comedy with sharp dialogue, this is the smartest and brightest teen comedy since 'Heathers'. From a scale of 1-10 I give this film a 7!

Summary: Dude, I'm IN this video
Review: I'm the kid who makes the goat noise in the scene when they're all in the gym making their speeches. This movie is cool.

Summary: Funniest of the year
Review: I saw this film shortly after its release and I thought it was one of the funniest movies of 1999. It's great to see a movie with teenagers in it that is actually smart. Matthew Brodrick was also great in it. Great satire on the absurdity of high school activities.

Summary: The Best Comedy of the Year
Review: This is by far the funniest movie Hollywood has produced in years, probably the best in my opinion since "Get Shorty."Reese Witherspoon plays Tracy Flick, an over-ambitous student with desires to be elcted to her student council. Tracy Flick is the kind of person I think we've all met before. Driven, ambitious, very bright, but at the same time she really has no discernable personality. The fact that she is driven and involved in everything is what's getting her by. She has very few friends and is, if anything, made fun of routinely. Matthew Broderick plays her teacher. He's a very regular man, teaching a dull course, leading a fairly boring and repetetive life. When he finds tracy's ambitions threatning he sets out on destroying her. Election is far more hilarious than most movies because of its extremely bitter nature. Many people will find the story cold and sterile but if you get past that it is a hugely entertaining film. All the performances are first rate and if you compare it to the other "teen" comedy of the year, "American Pie" it is evident that this is light years ahead. While "American Pie" settles on cheap belly laughs and a feel good ending, "Election" opts for exactly the opposite. In fact this is really a very adult film performed by teenagers. "Election" is a cynical, bitter, vicious movie that is also the best comedy in years.

Summary: HILARIOUS, TWISTED AND FUNNY
Review: Reese Witherspoon stars as Tracy Flick, the preppy brat running for school president. Matthew Broderick, a social studies teacher, will do ANYTHING to stop her. It is hilariuos, twisted, funny dark and even kind of sick at some points. But overall it's funny.

Summary: Doesn't live up to the hype
Review: This was interesting, but hard to like. Although the movie got tremendous reviews when it was released in the theaters, and the performances were strong, it was somehow less than the sum of its parts. Rent it when you can get a discount.

Summary: Brilliant comic text
Review: Tracy Flick, (Reese Witherspoon) portrays that 'A' student, over achieving, clean cut girl from your high school with brilliant precision (meanwhile shows how this can be done with Fruedian undertones). Mathew Brodrick suffers from this as he witnesses her cunning ways through an experienced lense being one of her teachers while having some of his own domestic disfullfillments. This film is quite a relief from so many Hollywood blockbusters, an undermining of social norms. You cannot miss this movie.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: Reese Witherspoon does an excellent job in her portrayal of the over achiever we all knew in high school. Many didn't want to see this film because of Matthew Broadrick but this wasn't his typical work--he did a good job! What teacher would really try to sabotage a student election because he didn't like one of the candidates? Probably a few, but they hopefully would not be this obvious and it wouldn't be this funny. Besides, in the end, he gets what is coming to him.

Summary: I love this movie!
Review: This movie hits so close to home I can't help loving it! I know a girl who is EXACTLY like tracy flick! I told her not to watch the movie so she wouldn't get any ideas. The teacher, mr. mccallister is just like a teacher in my school too! such a funny movie...i think you have to be a teen to appreciate it though, i know a lot of older people who hated it.
