One of my favorites in college in the early 1970s was "Putney Swope" which is exactly what you're describing. It is available on DVD.
>and also ones that satire High school politics/clicks.>
H.S. politics - "Election" with Reese Witherspoon.
H. S. cliques - "Heathers" is the classic.

Yup, I saw Putney Swope in college too. It was pretty subversive back in the day.
It might be a little too "70's" for today's teens. Seeing it not too long ago, some of it hadn't aged to well. But it's undoubtedly Robert Downey Sr.'s best effort.
