Election Satirical high school drama from Alexander Payne

Plot Tracy Flick is an obnoxious overachiever hated by popular teacher Mr McAllister, after she got his best friend fired. When she appears a shoo-in for student council president, he does everything he can to stop her winning… Verdict Too bitter to be a big success, this second feature from Payne (following Citizen Ruth) is still an excellent movie, funny and painful, with a perfectly-turned punchline and a black humour that foreshadowed his Oscar successes About Schmidt and Sideways.
