Election, 1999
Election, based on Tom Perrotta’s book also named Election, stars Matthew Broderick as Mr Jim McAllister, a social studies teacher, a staunch hater of student Tracy (Reese Witherspoon). An American black comedy, it isn’t surprising to discover that Broderick’s highly likeable character goes to high lengths to assure the failure of Tracy Flick’s election campaign. An average film by box office standards, the film did however earn an Oscar nomination for best Adapted Screenplay. Witherspoon also scored a Golden Globe nomination for the Best Actress category.
