Why did my wife rent the "Election"?

She says a good friend, who is a movie buff, recommended that film. Whether it was a true recommendation, or just desire to see someone else step into it I do not know.

The 1999 film tries really hard to raise above your typical high school movie. And let's be frank - given that reference group, anything that is not a complete dreck has a fighting chance.

So does the Election. I would gladly allow that among all high school films this one is by far not the worst. But that alone doesn't make it something really worth spending your money and time.

In that class of films, I still believe the Clueless is an untoucheable leader and try as hard as it might, the Election doesn't even come close to it.

I know some will find elevating things in it... morals... satire... philosophy even, but the fact remains this is a snoozer.
