Honor Society trailer introduces the modern Tracy Flick

The first thing that comes to mind from the trailer for Honor Society, the new Paramount+ original movie, is the cult classic comedy Election. In that 1999 film, Reese Witherspoon was mesmerizing as Tracy Flick, a devious and overachieving high school student who didn’t care who she hurt on her way to becoming class president.

Honor Society‘s title character seems like she is the modern-day incarnation of Tracy. In the trailer below, Honor directly addresses the viewer as she lays out her plan to take out her competition. But not even Honor could predict that she would fall for one of her rivals.

Honor is played by Angourie Rice, a young actress whom you may recognize as Betty Brant from the MCU Spider-Man movies. Her rival/romantic connection, Michael, is portrayed by Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things. They grow up so fast!

Here’s the official synopsis for Honor Society, courtesy of Paramount+:

“Honor is an ambitious high school senior whose sole focus is getting into an Ivy League college … assuming she can first score the coveted recommendation from her guidance counselor, Mr. Calvin. Willing to do whatever it takes, Honor concocts a Machiavellian-like plan to take down her top three student competitors, until things take a turn when she unexpectedly falls for her biggest competition, Michael.”

Northey as Marvin Rose, Kelcey Mawema as Talia, Arghavan Jenati as Lily, Andres Collantes as Diesel, and Amy Keum as Kennedy Smith.

One of the blessings of streaming services like Netflix is that, in addition to their libraries of original titles, they also have titles that come and go on a regular basis. While the introduction of new titles is always nice, the downside is that titles usually leave the service when new ones join.

As March turns into April, we're going to lose some genuinely great movies on Netflix. While you still have time, though, you should check these three very different movies out.
