Election
(1999)
Jim McAllister is a popular
teacher and student government adviser who loves making a
difference in his students' lives. He's been named "Teacher
of the Year" three times during his 12 years at George
Washington Carver High, but he's about to put it all on the line
-- his reputation, his career - for a student election. Tracy
Flick is the school's consummate overachiever, an alarmingly
ambitious go-getter who treats high school as the first step in a
lifelong career strategy. Busy with clubs, committees and school
musicals, she is ready for her greatest glory - the student
government presidency. Getting elected should be a snap, since no
one is running against her -- no one, that is, until Jim decides
that this human achievement machine must be stopped and recruits
his own candidate for president, Paul Metzler. A sidelined
football hero whose enormous popularity threatens Tracy's chances,
Paul is charmingly dimwitted and stupendously unfit for the job.
The two-pers! on contest gains another combatant when Paul's
alienated younger sister, Tammy, joins the race as an insurgent
candidate who builds massive support for her crusade to abolish
student government altogether. As campaign fever sets in, the
lines between right and wrong grow increasingly blurry and Jim's
life, both in school and out, begins to spin out of control in
this satirical comedy that takes an uncommon look at ambition,
morality, desire, love and the lies we never cease telling
ourselves.

KILL A MOCKINGBIRD) for capturing the bewilderment, awkwardness,
and fresh excitement of adolescence.
