Election

Director: Alexander Payne

Release Date: Monday 30th November -0001

Running time: 103 minutes

Yet another High School comedy, Election differs from most of this year's offerings by being a slightly twisted and bitter metaphor for the big bad world. Witherspoon runs for student president and is opposed by principal Broderick on the basis that she ruined his colleague's career by having an affair with him. Throw in a lesbian candidate and a jock candidate and the scene is set for a hilarious depiction of American teen life.
