Description This film takes the scandals and mudslingings associated with presidential elections and transposes them to a high school election for student council president in Nebraska- with impossibly sharp, satirical results. Jim McAllister is a teacher who will stop at nothing to prevent perfect Tracy Flick, 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 of strange events (both madcap and surprisingly sexual), which add up to an uncommonly funny high school film for adults. imdb.comtrailer, government, witherspoonElection (trailer)http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/08blpmdM7ZI2012-05-08T13:26:15.000Z2012-05-09T09:10:52.000ZElectionReese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde) is Tracy Flick, a straight "A" go-getter who's determined to be president of Carver High's student body.
