GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
novagirl11 If you're craving something like this from 1999, watch American Beauty instead! If you want to see young Reese Witherspoon, go for Legally Blonde which is only 2 years later! Election had it's comical moments but mainly laughing at how bad it is. Sadly, this was not what I expected.
Tony Enjoyed it, makes fun out of things we probably should frown upon now. But good comedy always takes on taboos, divisive issues. All the actors were great, not just the leads. If you want to have a giggle at morality and ethics, political process regarding presentation as opposed to actual policy, you'll have a good giggle at this.
mmx a must watch before each political election, especially this year... Tracy flick represents every lying, over-achiever-sociopath, who are often presented to the society as a successful person. so if you hate overly ambitious people without any moral compass(which is pretty much most of them ha ha), than this movie is sooo for you. it also makes fun of the election process as a whole, so this movie is totally dedicated to this year's presidential election in the US. the trailer and the picture art however send a totally wrong vibe about this gem. it's a very thought provoking dark comedy about the society and how pathetic most of it really is. can be watched over and over probably even 20 years from now.
Irishchatter With all the sex scene's,jokes and references, I thought this film was pretty funny. Reese Witherspoon was like so talented as an excitable Secondary School student who just wants to achieve in what she believes in! Even Matthew Broderick was awesome with his role! He really is like your typical teacher who would look out for you, unless you annoy him from being a show off at class like Tracy Flick lol. No but really I think he would be a good teacher, I wouldn't mind it actually! It would've made my school years better!I swear I fell in love with the character Paul on this movie, I just wanna cuddle him! He looks out for everyone and doesn't have anything bad to say, he is just positive. Man, I wish we all were like that with our attitudes as humans! Chris Klein was excellent for his first start in a film!Now with Tammy, I would call her someone who you wouldn't wanna mess with because seriously that girl can get away with it! I'm glad she finally got a girlfriend since it was tough that her ex was with her brother! I wonder if they are ever gonna find her lop! Anyways it's a really enjoyable and watchable movie but I wouldn't call it the best nor favourites of mine!
