Review
A painfully funny political satire, cunningly disguised as a high school comedy. Irritating overachiever Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) is a self-satisfied, single-minded dynamo, and the number one candidate in the forthcoming student president election. But Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) has other ideas. The popular but weary teacher, apparently undergoing something of a mid-life crisis, decides Tracy's a power-mad bitch - the embodiment of all that stinks in America - and she must be stopped. Criminally ignored in the last round of Hollywood back-slapping, this sharply-scripted, shrewdly observed comedy is biting, black and brilliant. See it!
