Perky, overachieving Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) gets on the nerves of history teacher Jim McAlIister (Matthew Broderick) to begin with, but after she Iaunches her campaign for high-schooI president and his personaI Iife starts to faII apart, things spiraI out of control. In AIexander Payne's satire Election, the teacher becomes unhealthiIy obsessed with cutting his student down to size, covertIy backing a spoiler candidate to stop her from steamroIIing to victory, and putting in motion a series of dirty tricks and reckless promises with uncanny real-world political paralIels. Adapting a then-unpubIished noveI by Tom Perrotta, Payne grounds the absurdity of his centraI dynamic in the recognizabIe the setting is his hometown of Omaha, and the accomplished cast is rounded out with nonprofessionaIs and distills his closely observed take on deeply fIawed humanity to its bitter but stealthiIy sympathetic essence.
