I first watched this film as a teenager. Now as an adult, I can appreciate how cleverly executed this series of scenes is. The teacher is so clearly grooming his student, and it's visibly creepy. Yet he's portrayed as most people who do what he's done probably are: deeply deluded by his desires. Tracy is clearly an emotionally immature victim, but she's portrayed as most victims probably are: confident that they're in fact consenting to being taken advantage of. This complexity, I think, stands the test of time even in the post "Me Too" era.

He may be deluded instead of evil, but the damage toward the victim is the same either way. They don't show it, but clearly the principal did the right thing by not softening at the crying. That's why I like this scene.

Sure, Tracy was annoying, but she wasn’t sabotaging or stepping on people to get ahead. The tearing down of the posters was just a fit of rage and frustration, and it didn’t cost anyone the election. She also appeared to have genuine affection for her teacher Dave. Besides, an adult that pursues a child for sex bears all the blame. No exceptions. An adult in an authoritative positions knows better than that. I think that the bad characterization of Tracy was just a fabrication in McAllister’s mind to justify his own actions, and McAllister is just another immature high school teacher, which there are a lot of.

This is exactly how the movie wants us to perceive the characters. The concept of ethics vs morals is clear. While we question Tracys morality in her actions (her affair, attitude and tearing of the posters) we know in the deep end she hasn’t committed anything unethical and is likely, simply a victim of the events that developed. On the other hand, McAllister is justifying his unethical ethical views on child consent, corruption and resentment though Tracy, thinking himself he is doing the morally good thing to do whereas he has become everything he wanted to destroy (Dave’s actions and why of thinking). I simply love how realistic is this film in portraying human paradox.

Make one single person smarter or happier or nicer? The only person it does matter to is the one who gets elected. The same pathetic charade happens every year, and everyone makes the same pathetic promises just so they can put it on their transcripts to get into college. So vote for me, because I don't even want to go to college, and I don't care, and as president I won't do anything. The only promise I will make is that if elected I will immediately dismantle the student government, so that none of us will ever have to sit through one of these stupid assemblies again!

I just saw this film the other day because my brother told me how funny this was, but when I first saw the diner scene, I found it so incredibly disturbing because the teacher, knowing how lonely and isolated she is from the rest of her peers, uses this as a way to get to her and to make her feel some sort of acceptance. That made this scene all the more disturbing, along with the fact that Tracy is completely oblivious to the fact that she was raped. Even though this Is a comedy, this is was one of the most accurate and realistic portrayals of Pedophilia because Tracy dismisses any idea that she was taken advantage of and suggest that it was true love. Obviously, this is a very integral part of the film, but I feel like, based on a few comments I read from various videos, that it often gets ignored. Also, the victim blaming that Mr. McAllister does to Tracy whenever he says “actions have consequences and affect other people” I found to be deeply disturbing. Great comedy and one of the funniest films I’ve seen in a while.

Jim also uses Paul as a means to take Tracy down in the election. This movie has people using and taking advantage of each other left and right. Payne isn’t afraid to explore and find the sick humor in the seedier side of humanity. His characters are often despicable, but in ways that are never too far removed from reality and, whether we like to admit it or not, relatability as well. I think this makes for some of the best social satire out there. Both this and Sideways are tragicomedy masterpieces.

A lot of us that were young when this premiered thought Tracy was the villain. Yeah she was annoying and out of pocket at times but she was a whole teenager. She was raised by a successful, single mother who instilled drive and ambition into her daughter. Possibly because she for whatever reason had to raise a child alone whilst striving to do better for both of them. Not to mention, Tracy was an only child so all the pressure to go above and beyond was all on her. She stayed at school long after school hours which leaves me to believe she was avoiding going home. Either mom was home or not home enough leaving Tracy alone in her house.Nothing wrong with instilling confidence and wanting to do well within your children, HOWEVER, some parents take it to the extreme to where it’s basically abuse; sometimes stunting some of their kid’s development. Hence, Tracy’s inability to be social and pick up on red flags. In comes Dave, who peaked in high school, having his sights on Tracy from the jump. He was very aware that she had no friends meaning that he had been observing her for quite sometime 🤮 I wonder if he was predatory during his high school years? Then, McCallister. He told his best friend that him doing this to Tracy was wrong BUT he didn’t report it. Then had the audacity to blame Tracy for the whole thing. He may not have thought much about her before the disgusting events but he sure did afterwards. And she had him feeling some type of way 🥴 her actively trying to do good academic wise; chasing her hopes and dreams made him feel inadequate. So he tried to sabotage her. He was trying to have a full blown affair with his former best friend’s wife and he had the nerve to blame Tracy for that as well basically. The adults in her life failed her, including her absent by choice father. It’s interesting seeing things from a different perspective when you get older, isn’t it?

I would say no, at least not until Dave had to admit why he got fired from teaching. Jim wouldn't rat on his best friend, even though Jim knew it was wrong in the first place. He even gave him disappointed eyes in the office with the principal.

What’s genius about this film is the unreliability of the protagonist/ narrator.

Yup. Great script writing.

It’s pretty smart to use the school as an allegory for politics and how they say what they want you to hear.. and ther is always truth in the lies.. but it’s all skewed.. unreliable narrator was such a good choice

Tracy Flick was the High school version of a Karen! On a side note. I knew and hated girls like her in school! Reese was so believable in this role. She killed it.

I agree. Reese Witherspoon was incredible in this movie. She really made me hate her as Tracy Flick. But that is a compliment as she was really great at that role.

Why do you hate Tracy? Karen? Older teacher preyed on her..

I so badly want a sequel exploring now adult Tracy Flick in an All About Eve scenario when she is rivaled by a black LGBTQ celebrity canidate who drives her into self sabotaging madness and explores the racist issues of white feminism that caused Hillary Clinton to lose the black vote.
