SEX/NUDITY 7 – Lots of sexual innuendo (including a boy’s reference to being well-endowed), instances of teen and teacher/student sex, and some sex talk during intercourse and regarding intercourse.
Is Election a good film?
“Election” is a dark comedy – dark and funny. Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) is an over-achiever and creates havoc in the life of her teacher (Matthew Broderick) as the school elections approach. I have to echo the sentiment that this is one of the best (if not the best) movie set in a high school.
