Troy C Seen it 3 times and it's still insightful and bitingly hilarious. Even with its almost cartoon stereotyped characters, it's still got lots of heart, poking fun at high school mediocrity, with its sad, dead-end teachers and often lame students. And it especially pokes fun at super-conservative Darwinists who feel justified in destroying anyone they deem beneath them. This film celebrates a different era, when rational thinkers weren't ruled by brittle, monstrously ambitious people with bruised shoulder blades from patting themselves on the back for their righteousness. Marjorie Taylor Greene is Tracy Flick, minus a dozen IQ points and a pretty face.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review thiago s Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, mas o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Audience Member A film that continues to grow in relevancy with each election. Alexander Payne is one of the best modern directors at depicting uncomfortable scenes, which this dark comedy takes to disturbing levels that reflect our reality. Despite having a plot propelled by immoral actions, it has aged a lot better than its contemporaries, like “American Beauty”, because of its dedication to depicting social injustices in an authentic manner. Ferris Bueller, Matthew Broderick, has grown into the antagonistic force that tried to ruin the Day Off, a petty educator. Being cast as Jim McAllister allows the character to start in the audience’s favor, until the mask falls off, revealing a hilariously pathetic man struggling with his insignificance. Reese Witherspoon gives one of her best performances as Tracy Flick, a complicated character who is ambition personified, allowing her to win over any adversary by pure persistence.
