This movie stunk...
If the writer of this film ever reads this you may want to go back and watch Election over again to see how this sort of thing is done properly... you are trying too hard...

I just didnt like how they framed a poor innocent teacher I felt so bad and Kinberly is a real Bitch she is so vile.
share"Innocent" teacher? He clearly /was/ a deviant, from making his wife wear that skirt and read that essay to tricking Brittany into stripping onstage, and then insisting that she continue.
shareHow exactly did he trick her into stripping onstage? I mean, she's got a brain. Something would tell you not to strip... Or at least me.
shareWell, dontcha know? At convenient times, the female gender can dismiss all responsibility for anything. Fact of the matter is the teacher didn't do anything, regardless of what he fantasized about.
shareThe original poster of this comment obviously wasn't smart enough to get all the social commentary and satire. This movie was great!
shareThe fact that his superior, the headmaster, has to ask him to behave when disciplining a student suggests that his behaviour was inappropriate; as does the fact that he not only silently watches his underage student strip but then orders her to keep on when she gets upset and stops.
Sounds like you're abdicating a lot of the responsibility men have. None of them in this movie were any better morally than the female characters.
he was not a deviant for "making his wife wear that skirt". tons of men have schoolgirl fantasies, it's not deviancy. also, he didn't force brittany to start masturbating on stage. she did that because that's what she did at home, alone in her room. she could've started belching or picking her nose or playing air guitar to Van Halen for all anyone knew, but she didn't. and once she got started, yes he should've stopped her. it's obvious he had some sort of perverse fetish for these girls, but the thing is he didn't do anything. he didn't act inappropriately, at least not to the extent that they accused him.

Completely agree with you. Again, Rachel Wood is a horrid actress. Nothing like the actresses like Jodie Foster or Winona Ryder (The best in Hollywood and the brightest) and these two actresses NEVER accepted roles or dialogue to insult or degrade minorities. Rachel Wood is a simpleton and this film is GARBARGE!!!!!
shareI understand not liking a movie.. There are movies i dont like but the actress in this movies name is Evan Rachel Wood so if your gonna bother to insult someone at least get their name right its really not that hard..
Oh yea and Winona Ryder is good but not to the level of Jodie Foster..
You really need to get out more..
Evan rachel wood is my fav actress!!! omg and this movie was sooo good ! i was so surprised by the ending when i found out how evil kimberly actually was! except it is true that the teacher was a bit of a pervert!! but it was still a good movie!!
shareo ya and all of u who think evan rachel wood is a bad actress she actually isnt! you just hate her cuz of the role she plays and u know she is a good actress! i mean if she was so bad then how come she got nominated for so many awards for different movies including her movie thirteen which is the best movie ever! and she won 3 awards for that and was nominated for like 9 so maybe u should think next time u say something like "shes a bad actress"
shareI agree she's brilliant everything I have seen her in she shines..
Even back when she was in Once and again..
She'll go a long way..
oh woof woof bloody woof woof woof : The Dog - Footrot Flats
Let me guess...you like Thirteen because you are thirteen? Or at least you enjoy acting like you are?
Oh ya. Maybe u should like grow up.

I'm a minority and this statement insulted me. I'm a guy (a straight guy on top of it) and sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who sees a problem with the double standard towards women. Great actors like DeNiro, Pacino, Nicholson, Irons, Liotta, Malkovich, and others have spoken several lines of dialog that degrade minorites because they were playing CHARACTERS that thought that way or said those things.
Goddamn, do people not get that actors play characters that may not in any way relate to the true feelings/thoughts of the actor/actress playing them?
I'm cool with ERW, I'm not her biggest fan or anything, but for Christsakes she's one of the few young actresses out there doing interesting roles and not going the Lindsay Lohan route of playing in bad cookie-cutter Disney movies! (although I hated The Missing)
Cut the girl some slack!
