Preview: Frontrunners (2008)

• Poster: C+

Review:

Drawing the four candidates featured in the film on a piece of paper reminiscent of the drawings kids typically make while they are supposed to be paying attention in class is a clever idea, but perhaps it's a bit too obvious.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Judd Apatow has nothing on the documentary filmmakers who constantly delve into the waters of High School interpersonal relationships and politics. It appears to be a somewhat interesting examination of how awkward High School politics can be.

Oscar Prospects:

While it's possible this could be one of the Documentary Feature finalists, I'm doubtful something so relatively innocuous would have a shot.

Release Date:
