This is Anderson at his best. It was easily the best 'indie comedy' of the late 90's and it really established both Anderson and Schwartzman and it also gave Bill Murray's carrier a kick up the arse too. It surprises me how many people seem to have missed this gem of a film. Bril...( read more)

Quirky off-beat take on teen angst that seems to get better with time. I like this one a lot more now than when I first saw it ten years ago (that may say more about me than it does about Rushmore).
most importantly an excellent script and good acting from jason schwartzman. wickedly funny. a must see!
this is the sort of film that i grow fonder of over time. its the little nuances that do it for me, things you dont notice the first time around but are quirky and hilarious the more you think about them. overall great comedy.
Wish I hadn't waited so long to see such a great film. Wes Anderson is fast becoming one of my fave directors. (A young) Jason Schwartzman plays the title role brilliantly

One of the most original, good-hearted comedies in a long time, Rushmore is the sort of movie where the strangest sequences of discords somehow keep managing to reach giddily improbable resolutions. full review
To call Rushmore a romantic triangle about clinical depressives doesn't allow for the film's bracing humanism. full review
[Rushmore is] structured like a comedy, but there are undertones of darker themes, and I almost wish they'd allowed the plot to lead them into those shadows. full review
There's a sweet humanity about the picture, though it's anything but sentimental. It's odd, definitely odd. full review
Dude kinda reminds me of Tom Cruise when he was much younger.lol..I enjoyed the movie alot!
