Overview
A high school teacher's personal life becomes complicated as he works with students during the school elections.
Throughout this film I flipped back and forth between thinking that this was a good film and thinking that there was a better film in there somewhere. In a way it felt like a mix between Heathers and American Beauty, although not nearly dark as either film. It wasn’t bad but nothing really resonated with me. I generally dislike Mathew Broderick but I didn’t mind his performance here.
