Election - (Payne;1999;USA) - ***1/2
A snobby over-achiever is running for school president. Her teacher who dislikes her personality inspires a jock into running against her.
When I saw the "MTV Productions" logo I almost lost hope. However Payne didn't disappoint me. Although not as good as About Schmidt or Sideways, this film is a great comedy. It uses narration very well to deepen it's characters, as well as the humor. Payne's direction is great as usual.
