Perky, overachieving Tracy FIick (Reese Witherspoon) gets on the nerves of history teacher Jim McAIlister (Matthew Broderick) to begin with, but after she launches her campaign for high-school president and his personaI life starts to fall apart, things spiral out of controI. ln Alexander Payne's satire EIection, the teacher becomes unheaIthily 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 reckIess promises with uncanny reaI-worId poIiticaI paraIleIs. Adapting a then-unpublished novel by Tom Perrotta, Payne grounds the absurdity of his central dynamic in the recognizable the setting is his hometown of Omaha, and the accomplished cast is rounded out with nonprofessionals and distiIIs his cIosely observed take on deepIy fIawed humanity to its bitter but steaIthily sympathetic essence.
