Pros: Humor, ending Cons: a bit confusing at first
Last time I checked, good old Ferris Bueller was that obnoxious kid getting a day off of school. But now he is the teacher, keeping things stirred up at Carver High. Reese Witherspoon is that annoying over achieving girl we all knew in high school,...

Pros: none Cons: boring, not funny
The movie Election, stars Matthew Broderick and Reese Witherspoon, and is not a very good movie. The acting is fair to portray who they are but the plot is bad and the movie breaks into random things.
Matthew Broderick plays a well loved...

Pros: Hilarious plot and script. Well written. Cons: Nothing I can think of.
I was completely surprised to see that Election was an MTV Production. Yes that's right, the same company that brought us Joe's Apartment, a waste of film. So anyway, Election was great. This movie was beautifully scripted and beautifully cast. It was...

Pros: plot, acting, humor Cons: very odd
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...

Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: It should have been longer.
Although I am only 20, I have heard enough jokes and seen enough mockeries of our political system in order to keep me secluded in my house for life. I read all the hype about this movie in the local newspaper but, hey, their just a bunch of...

Pros: Suitable for all audiences Cons: cheesy freezeframes
Election is a light comedy, featuring Reese Witherspoon who portrays miss goody two shoes (which she does very well as seen in Cruel Intentions), who is running for Class President of her school and will stop at nothing to win. The other side of the...

Pros: DVD extra directors comments Cons: DVD no extra footage
This is by far one of the best movies I have seen. I saw it at the theater but I am writing my review of the DVD. First the movie itself… This is one of the funniest movies I have seen and I assure you, I have seen a lot. This is what is known as a...

Pros: hilarious characters Cons: no direction for satire, vulgar
This was a really funny movie. The humor was sharp. Reese Witherspoon's character is bouncy and sickening. Even her accent is grating. Every movie on her is on point, and everything shot of her, especially when she rips up the posters or when she...

Pros: good storyline, good comedy, good acting... Cons: subplot not of the same quality...
I gave this movie a 7+ out of 10.
An interesting movie that is bad on its superficial surface but deeply meaningful inside. Reese Witherspoon's performance is outstanding and quite entertaining to watch her try to get her way with...

Pros: Reese Witherspoon, very funny Cons: Subplot.
I rented "Election" last night. It was hilarious. Reese Witherspoon embues "psycho" when she wants to. When I saw "Freeway", I never thought, "Hey, she's acting like white trash." I just completely forgot that she...

Pros: Great casting, good story to build from, funny Cons: Not all characters are developed fully
This is a dark comedy which has great characters, a great story line to build from, and good actors for their roles. I hate seeing movies that have actors who are poorly cast for their roles and this movie is not one of those. Matthew Broderick plays a...

Pros: Everything Cons: Can't Think of a Thing
You don't get any better than this. An extremely funny film that didn't get enough credit. And don't let it fool you this isn't satire - this is real life and boy is it funny. A compelling story with many twists and turns. Interesting characters you...

Pros: funny, smart, good performances Cons: weak cinematography, unfulfilling end
Election is a brave movie in a lot of ways. It's characters aren't particularly likeable, and all of them have moments of looking the way real people do from time to time -- petty and ugly. If you've ever been driven to absolute insanity by someone for...

Pros: engaging acting, hilarious situations Cons: profanity
This was a very cute movie, packed with double entendres, starting with the name. Election. You know what the porn flicks are changing it to even as you read it. And it would be apropos, even for the original. It may look on the surface like another...
