Most people remember high school. There was always a favorite teacher, one that cared, was helpful and was always there for you. There was also always a student nobody could really stand. This student was the one that always had her hand up at every question, shaking the hand like each response she could give could save the world.
Election is a movie made of such memories.
Matthew Broderick plays Mr. McAlliister, a civics teacher that is truly dedicated to his job. The students all like him and he actually enjoys coming to school each day. The ever-present raised hand in this particular school belongs to Tracy Flick, wonderfully portrayed by Reese Witherspoon. Tracy is perfect, has everything going for her and will one day be very famous. If you doubt this, just ask her.
