Sinopsis: Tracy Flick es la alumna más brillante del instituto y la única que ha ligado con un profesor. A Tracy le da clase también el señor McAllister, un docente dedicado a su trabajo que anda flirteando con la mujer de su mejor amigo. Se acercan las elecciones de representantes de alumnos y Tracy es la única candidata. Cansado de que a ella le salga todo bien, el señor McAllister soborna a Paul para que se presente también y compita con la chica. (Alpacine)

Las elecciones en un instituto americano sirven de pretexto para hacer una ácida y demoledora crítica del sistema político, de los valores dominantes y, en general, de la conducta de los seres humanos. (FILMAFFINITY)

"Desmadrada sátira de la ambición, a la par que un divertido acercamiento a la estupidez humana (...) la parte final se desliza por los terrenos de lo previsible, pero el filme resulta de lo más divertido" (Miguel Ángel Palomo: Diario El País)

El afamado crítico y director de cine Peter Bogdanovich declaró días antes de la entrega de los Oscar 1999: "Sólo me interesan dos oscar: el mejor documental a "Buena Vista Social Club" y el de mejor guión a "Election" -El País, 22 de Marzo del 2000-. (FILMAFFINITY)
Éxito a cualquier precio.El típico instituto norteamericano. Se acercan las elecciones de delegados de alumnos, y una jovencita (Reese Witherspoon), empollona insoportable y muy, muy ambiciosa, pretende ganar a toda costa. Al profesor de ética (Matthew Broderick) la chica le cae fatal, así que anima a otros alumnos a promover otra candidatura. No tiene ni idea de con quién se está jugando los cuartos.
Original comedia corrosiva de Alexander Payne, crítica a la sociedad americana y al individualismo feroz, en línea con films como American Beauty. Su guión, firmado también por el propio director, tuvo una nominación al Oscar. Es de esos títulos que te deja con la sonrisa helada. Payne no deja títere con cabeza entre sus personajes que, únicamente, van a lo suyo. Un buen varapalo a la reinante moral del triunfo a toda costa, donde destacan las composiciones de los dos protagonistas, Witherspoon y Broderick (DeCine21).
AMG Synopsis: In this satirical comedy, a hotly contested high school election becomes a metaphor for the current state of American politics. Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) is a popular and well-respected instructor at George Washington Carver High School in Omaha, Nebraska, but lately he's been unhappy in both his personal and professional life, and his anxieties finally come to a head with the school's student elections. Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) is running for student body president, and she certainly seems like the sort of girl who would win a high school election -- she's pretty, popular and takes part in all the right extra-curricular activities. In fact, she seems so perfect she's running unopposed, which offends McAllister's sense of democracy (not to mention the fact he doesn't like her very much). So Jim intervenes and persuades Paul Metzler (Chris Klein) to run against Tracy. Paul is not terribly bright and is entirely unqualified to be student president, but as a star of the school's football team (before a leg injury sidelined him), he's popular enough to at least give Tracy a run for her money. Just as the race begins to heat up, a spanner is truly thrown into the works when Paul's sister, Tammy (Jessica Campbell) announces she's also running for office. Publicly, Tammy's platform is that the student elections are ultimately pointless and if she's elected, she'll eliminate them altogether. Privately, Tammy is out for revenge against her brother; it seems Tammy is experimenting with her sexuality, and a recent fling with a bisexual classmate named Lisa (Frankie Ingrassia) ended when Lisa dumped her to start going out with Paul. Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta, Election was directed by Alexander Payne, who won enthusiastic reviews for his debut feature, Citizen Ruth; Payne also co-wrote the screenplay with Jim Taylor.
AMG Review: A satire of electoral and scholastic politics, Election may have been set in high school but it was not just another teen movie. Directed and co-scripted by Alexander Payne with the same even-handed sharpness as his comically incendiary debut Citizen Ruth (1996), Election's contest between Type-A student overachiever Tracy Flick and resentful civics teacher Jim McCallister delves into the behavioral minutiae ruling the ultimate popularity contest, presaging the deviousness and inertia that define national politics. Superbly cast as the anti-Ferris Bueller, Matthew Broderick is deceptively nice as the schlub teacher who hates the student destined to power herself out of Omaha (even as he finds her attractive). Reese Witherspoon's Tracy may be a monster, but Payne and co-writer Jim Taylor wisely reveal how the balance of power against the less privileged (and female) fuels her sociopathic drive. Jessica Campbell's astutely anarchic teen lesbian, however, provides the electoral coup de grace. Hailed for its excellent performances, expert pacing, and humor both broad and subtle, Election received several critics' prizes and an Oscar nomination for Payne and Taylor's screenplay, but failed to convert some of the best reviews of the year into equally outstanding box office popularity.
