Re: that depends on why you see the film

Well, most us who went to high school here, and even college and graduate school, knew students who belonged to everything, tried to be elected to anything, for their resume, college application, or just to feel important. Some of those students went above and beyond what you would believe they would do. To those who did not see that behavior first hand, I suspect that they would have some scepticism. Those of us who saw that behavior would "get" the joke. Which does not necessarily mean that someone who did not go to school in that environment would not get the joke. It is only an explanation as to one possible reason, given the high marks the film received from a variety of sources. Is the problem with the two who did not like it, or the eight who did? I am simply looking for a reason beyond "the two are idiots."

The teacher? Well, in graduate school, I recall one student who found it necessary to ask question after question, and after a couple of weeks the teacher became visibly annoyed whenever the student would raise his hand. I likened Broderick's performance to the same motivation, the teacher having gone over the deep end.

I too liked Election better than Office Space. Victor suggested that familiarity with the subject in evaluating a film was "faulty logic." I was simply pointing out that he used the same logic in his comments regarding "Office Space", which, I assume, was not faulty when he employed it.
