There apparently is a huge audience for stuff like this, but I'm certainly not included. This is a movie that is way more concerned with being quirky and different than being compelling, entertaining or developing any good, likable characters. The movie's also way too interested ...( read more)
Beautiful people in this movie, great theme and suprise... the only dvd movie i own.
Hillarious! Wes's great start (not including Bottle Rockets which I have yet to watch).
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
My favorite movie of all time. The use of color and the theatrical setting of the film make it an almost magical journey through the angst filled mine field of an adolescent males life. When I first saw this movie I was in the same awkward stage of my life that Max was in during ...( read more)
a wickedly funny script and good performances by jason schwartzman and bill murray. And the soundtracks are great too.
The story wasn't too "american" or obvious, but... I still found the love triangle quite disturbing..but I guess the acting was good since Sschwartzman behaviour and character is supposed to be a bit different and weird. Though his love for Mrs. Cross made me feel a bit uneasy.
This movie was such a breath of fresh air when it arrived on the scene. So quirky but sooo real. No fairy tales here, just (often) painful honesty.Very dry comedy, the humor is smart but very subtle. Good cast and script. Great production, direction and an amazing soundtrack. 4-1...( read more)
Heard how great this movie was, so i put it in. it was painful for me to get through. again, not a fan of wes anderson, dont get his humor at all
What is Wes Anderson's obsession with handjobs in this movie? Bill Murray is at his best.
Las películas de Anderson tienen dos características dominantes, excelente soundtrack y elenco, y en esta no decepcionan ninguna de las dos.
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)
"She was my Rushmore"

Hilarious comedy a la `Ferris Bueller's Day Off' as written by John Cheever: enterprising young Schwa...( 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).
"She's my Rushmore Max." A film bursting with sly jokes and beautiful desgin, supported by both Jason Schwartzman's iconic turn as a schoolboy and Bill Murray's drunk millionaire, who from the center (yes, the center) of an unlikely love triangle.
a strange film with an array of strange characters. it's hard to explain really, you have to really watch it to know what i mean. i'm not sure if i like it or not.
Wes Anderson's very very very very best. The best version of the Bill Murray archetype.
Another masterwork by Wes Anderson! Quirky? Yes! A lot of people will get turned off of this film, but then again people don't usually have an open mind. It's an odd variation on a 'coming of age tale' that only Anderson could craft. The soundtrack is PERFECT, the actors are so f...( read more)
Wes Anderson llega con su segundo largometraje y toma de pretexto a Rushmore para desarrollar una historia que como es comun en su director, tiene mil y un mensajes para la vida. Si bien con su segundo se muestra un director seguro y maduro de lo que hizo y lo que seguira haciend...( read more)
Max Fischer is a fifteen year old barber's son with so-so grades who has just made it into the exclusive Rushmore Academy, where he falls in love with Olivia Williams (I know I would, in fact I did, when she starred in "The Postman", which was a 1997 movie, while this came only a...( read more)
most importantly an excellent script and good acting from jason schwartzman. wickedly funny. a must see!
I envy the self confidence Max Fisher has in this movie, original and fun to watch.
Too much fun. Love sucks and makes you do crazy things. Jason & Bill were masterful!! Inspired soundtrack.
I'm not sure where my love for Wes Anderson films began. It could have been this film, or The Life Aquatic or The Royal Tenenbaums, but one thing is for sure, Wes Anderson has a particular directing style that I find very attractive. This movie is witty and entertaining.
Anything with Olivia Williams in it is worth watching. Otherwise, ok as films about geeky kids go. Bill Murray's character is strange but the plot is typical of Wes Anderson stuff: weird.
Wes Anderson is a genius! Bill Murrays performance's are the best of his carrer in Andersons films.
This is Murray's first collaboration with director Wes Anderson and co-written by Owen Wilson. Although Bill Murray is in the supporting role, he steals the show. I would have loved to see Owen Wilson in Jason Schwartzman's part but probably been a little to old.
Original, creative, funny and mostly hilarious on a lot of ways, Rushmore is a delightful comedy for everyone.
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.
