Watched this movie for the first time tonight and I kind of liked it. Mr. MacAllister had some issues, that's for sure. It was strange to think how this movie came about 10 years after Ferris Bueller's Day off. Matthew's character kind of reminded me of the principal from that movie.

29 Best Movies Based on Books That Are Actually Worth Watching
20. Election (1999)
The book: Election by Tom Perrotta
This dark comedy about the ruthlessness of politicians features a breakout performance from a young Reese Witherspoon and taught a generation to recognize the Tracy Flicks in their lives. It's become a catchword often hurled unfairly at women with ambition, but it also accurately describes the kind of earnest yet hollow striving we see in so many people, no matter their gender, today.

All class: The 25 most iconic high school movies
"Election" (1999)
Mud-slinging campaign tactics get applied to a high school presidential election in Alexander Payne’s darkly funny adaptation of Tom Perrotta’s satiric novel. Between Reese Witherspoon’s nakedly ambitious Tracy Flick and Matthew Broderick’s vindictive Jim McAllister, it’s hard to find a rooting interest – which is, of course, the point. Even at this level, politics is a dehumanizing profession that brings out the worst in individuals, regardless of their intentions.

15 Nostalgic ’90s Movies To Watch On Netflix Right Now
Election
Released the same year as Cruel Intentions, Election showcased Reese Witherspoon as Type-A student and high school presidential hopeful Tracy Flick. Flick’s win-at-all-costs attitude humorously rubs government teacher Jim McAllister (expertly played by Matthew Broderick) the wrong way. Alexander Payne’s black comedy both displays Witherspoon’s masterful wit (she was 22 when she played Flick) and American Pie’s Chris Klein in his first movie starring role. Election received an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay and multiple Independent Spirit Awards. Witherspoon herself earned a Golden Globe nomination for best actress.
