| "When one person has the opportunity to live an extraordinary life, he has
no right to keep it to himself." This quote, scribbled in a book at the
Rushmore School library, sums up this eccentric film. more |

| A strange whimsical love story, Rushmore has enough charm, wit and style to
spare to rise it against it's predictable plot. It shouldn't work, but...it

Rushmore. Although he...more |

| No, this is not a film about the famous South Dakota presidential
monument. Rather, Rushmore is a unique comedy about two somewhat
obnoxious, but endearing, characters and their quest for happiness. more |

| Rushmore Academy is a prestigious private school and is also the main
passion of one of its worst students, Max Fischer. The reason Max is a bad
student is not because he lacks intelligence or because he cannot apply
himself. Rather, it is because he has...more |

| While watching Wes Anderson's Rushmore, it may be surprising to think that
the role of Max Fischer, the film's anti-hero, was not written with Jason
Schwartzman in mind. The young actor, making his film debut as a 15 year
old student at the exclusive...more |

| Sure, I like when films take quirky and unexpected turns as much as the

pointless darkness - a futile evocation of the whimsicality of revenge

totally dedicated to nearly every single extracurricular activity that
could ever be dreamed up. So he joins them all, as his grades suffer.
