I'm listing actor, but then explaining their character:

Matt Broderick's: Cheats on his wife, over-emphasis on trying to undermine Flick

Reese Witherspoon: Lies about tearing down posters, disrespects teacher with infertility remark

Chris Klein's sister: Lies about tearing down posters to get transferred to Catholic school, anti-social, joins election to get back at her friend for not wanting to be lesbian and undermines her brother's in the process

Matt Broderick's friend: Statutory rape

Matt Broderick's friend's wife: Having sex with Matt Broderick

***Don't waste your time with this sh*t of a movie whose two main characters are morally depraved**

If Reese Witherspoon's character had been just an ambitious student who gets undermined by Matt Broderick's character, but wins at the end, it would be palatable. But a student who wins but loses her ethics (she DID tear down the posters), she didn't get my sympathy

Perhaps. But he was also the dumbest and most oblivious.

Really, that's what you saw? His sister did it to get back at her friend for not being lesbian? You weren't watching very closely.
