Election


I should probably stop watching coming of age movies like Election, they get on my nerves.  What is more annoying than teenagers?  I hate the apathetic teen character like the sister in this movie, and I hate the overachiever character like Reese Witherspoon's Tracy Flick.  Of course, the Flick character is a gross exaggeration meant to appeal to all of us who hate people like that.  The Matthew Broderick teacher character is really endearing, as is the tall football player guy.  You see, I've already forgotten all these peoples' names.  To be fair, the film is a poignant coming of age story. I mean, I guess if the teenager characters are really annoying, the film is successful because it's true to life, yeah?
