看多了美国的校园青春喜剧,或励志温情,或搞笑荒诞,总都有一个光明的结局。这部片子里,虽然也有橄榄球四分卫和他的漂亮女友这种校园剧不可或缺的元素,却和迪斯尼的电影不一样。也许,是它更加真实?
除了Tracy,剧里其他人也一样的不讨喜,唯一看的顺眼些的是四分卫的les妹妹Tammy,喜欢她在竞选时的演讲:你们真的以为能改变什么吗?唯一能够影响的只有当选人自己。
Who cares about this stupid election? We all know it doesn't matter who gets elected president of Carver. Do you really think it's going to change anything around here; 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!...
Or don't vote for me... who cares? Don't vote at all!
这是部让人笑不起来的喜剧,除了最后Jim冲Tracy坐的limo扔饮料并匆忙逃跑时。
