Matthew Broderick, in a reversal of FERRIS BUELLER, plays Jim McAllister, a teacher who will stop at nothing to prevent perfect Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon), who is running unopposed, from winning the election. Jim, who bears a personal grudge against Tracy, goads a popular but dim football player into running against her. This spurs on a series strange events, (both madcap and surprisingly sexual) which add up to an uncommonly funny high school film for grown ups. Performances are great all-around and Payne uses shifting-narration and a series of freeze frames which give the film a rich and layered feel.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031208173890,"sku":"35926","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41T7PCYD0ZL._SL1500.jpg?v=1718247135","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/election-dvd","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
