Synopsis: This is the story centered around the annual high school class president election held at Carver High, but it's told through the eyes of everyone who inhabits it. Mr. Anderson (Mathew Broderick) goes from class-cutting student in Ferris Bueller's Day Off to good-intentioned (by his aspect) government teacher. He runs the election each year, and this year he does not want Tracy Flick (Reese Witherspoon) to win. She is a real nut-job who'll do anything to push her way to the top. So he talks the kind-hearted star quaterback Paul Metzler (Chris Klein) into running, to offer competion. Then his adopted lesbian sister decides to run when Paul makes a new girlfriend, which just happens to be her love interest. The Story is real fast paced and there's plenty of sub-stories dancing around the plot, so enjoy the entire experience. It's a hell of a ride.
