rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a review I wrote at the time of the film's release in 1999. I was experimenting with different writing styles at the time so it doesn't fit my usual format. Usually I hate reviews that are arranged like this, although I think I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lemon_lime - Election is a wonderful film on several different levels. Director Alexander Payne (Citizen Ruth) has crafted a fierce satire that takes aim at every level of high school life: nerds, jocks, lesbians, cheerleaders, parents, and faculty. No...

Sat, 28 Jul 2001 18:57:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author princealessio - Finally a good teen movie! Ive been getting tired of the teen movies lately because all of them seem the same. Usually they are just about a couple of young people trying to get laid. Most of the films jokes are related to farting or swearing alot. This...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Stephen_Murray - Alexander Payne’s film“Election” was loved by many critics (e- and other), and hated by some moviegoers (and epinionators).

mvie mu-1087035: High School Politics

Thu, 7 Jun 2001 11:51:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Debbie26 - Election is a teen dramatic comedy about highschool politics. It isn't as interesting as some of the other recent teen movies but with the combined acting skills of Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick the movie makes for a fun night at home with...

mvie mu-1087035: This is the reason I am not a registered voter!!!

Sun, 6 May 2001 20:04:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Jennifer1979 - I passed Election by time after time while browsing the racks at the movie place. I finally got so desperate that I rented it. As with all comedies, I hope for the best but expect the worst and unfortunately, I got the latter.

Wed, 4 Apr 2001 14:40:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author crucify - Disclaimer

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jklrjb - We all knew someone in high school who just HAD to be perfect at everything she did...this neurotic person who we know all too well is depicted by Reese Witherspoon in "Election." Don't let the MTV Productions label fool you - the writing is fantastic...

mvie mu-1087035: Pick Flick!

Fri, 2 Mar 2001 01:56:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author holly_hop - This film was one of those movies I'd heard was good but was reluctant to borrow out based on my lack of interest in its topic. American high school politics? I thought. Not the most intriguing premise for an Australian girl.... though I'd heard it was...

mvie mu-1087035: What an Election!!!

Sun, 7 Jan 2001 00:03:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Pen84guins - “Election” is a movie about an Election. How Ironic. Anyway, I’ve seen Election like six times. Every time it is on TV I watch it. It’s just one of those movies that you don’t get sick of. Kind of like Groundhog’s Day. When I saw it for the first time, I...

mvie mu-1087035: Accurately Explores American Society

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 00:52:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gov9 - Election does not deserve to be put in the category of another formula high school comedy. It is made by MTV Films, so I can only wonder how it turned out so good.

Matthew Broderick plays your typical popular high school teacher, who behind...

mvie mu-1087035: Win This 'Election'

Sun, 19 Nov 2000 15:36:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MovieBodega - MTV Films--just say the words and you can hear the collective groans of film fans everywhere.

Wed, 8 Nov 2000 05:01:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bwim - This is what AMERICAN BEAUTY was supposed to live up to. A clever satire on the "everyday" American life. This movie is not cluttered with excessively beautiful people to distract the viewer from the clever plot and twists. Some of it is...

Wed, 11 Oct 2000 01:45:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Lawcomic - Matthew Broderick is a likeable guy. Always has been. But, to see him take a dive into playing a morally flawed character is exceptionally entertaining and downright funny.

Broderick plays a high school teacher in "Election," a...

mvie mu-1087035: Election (1999)

Sat, 16 Sep 2000 20:58:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BrianKoller - Election is a production of MTV, which made short-term stars of such dubious personalities as Paulie Shore and Kennedy. One expects the worst, such as a teen-oriented sex comedy. But as was the case with their previous theatrical release,...

mvie mu-1087035: And the winner is....

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 16:18:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dlockeretz - "Election" is an over-looked film that satirizes high school life and politics in an entertaining, original way. While it lacks the potency of "Heathers" or the humor of "American Pie", it is still a provocative film.

Sat, 5 Aug 2000 22:27:11 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author zeems - Let me just start by stating that I do not trust movie critics. Why, you ask? Movies like Election. I began watching this movie with an open mind, having a predisposed love toward Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon. I stopped my VCR when it was...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Matt1026 - Election is a clever and witty dark comedy, that presents a great alternative to the juvenile, gross-out/shock humor that the comedy genre has recently been infatuated with. It follows the story of a high school election with each of its participants...

mvie mu-1087035: A tragicomedy about high school politics

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 19:43:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author spraybottle - "Election" is a strange movie that fits somewhere between comedy and tragedy. The story itself is straightforward and fairly simple but it is in the characters of this film that we get a true sense of comic and tragic figures.

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 00:14:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author therdour - Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon star in this comedy that really turns out to be more than that. It is time for the yearly class elections, and Reese Witherspoon is running for president. Being the hard working girl she is, she works her ass off...
