Reese
Witherspoon plays a "most likely to succeed"
type who expects to run unopposed for high school president. But civic-minded
civics teacher Mathew Broderick doesn't want her to have everything
handed to her on a silver platter, so he subtly recruits the class
jock to run against her. The jock's younger sister also decides to
join the fray, pledging to abolish the useless student government
if elected. This gets a standing ovation from the student body but
gets her expelled from school. Meanwhile, Broderick will stop at nothing
and risks his career to beat back Reese's inevitable election. A great
movie, with a funny ending that shows you can sorta "get even"
at those who are born to succeed.
