Ferris Bueller (AKA actor Matthew Broderick) is all grownup in this film from the Oscar-winning director of The Holdovers, Alexander Payne. Now, instead of being a truanting pupil, he is Jim McAllister, a history and civics teacher at a Nebraska high school, but he’s still no match for over-achieving pupil and Type A terror Tracy Flick. When Flick – played, in a career-defining performance, by Reese Witherspoon – runs for student president, McAllister sets out to sabotage her campaign, resulting in a sharp satire of political power-plays.
