Summary: My review of rushmore
Review: Max is a dedicated student, putting effort into all after school activies. However his world is turned upside down by the arrival of a new female teacher. In which he and his new friend (bill murray) both fall for and compete for her affection.
I think the main theme to this movie is obsession, as max moves from one to another. The other theme could be commitment, because it shows the amount of effort max puts in to everything he does and tries to see it to the end.
I think it was acted out well, in showing the tourment each character was put through. I believe the soundtrack helped to movie progress, helping to emphase the mood within the scene.
I think it was a typically enjoyable movie in which has an originality to it, yet the story of trying to win over love has been done before. The style was very different, although it ran smoothly, it wasnt predicable as you weren't quite sure how it would end. I think the film was a success, would deffinatley recommend it to others to watch. The only thing I wished to see more of was the vengeful competition between max and his friend.

Summary: Flat out funny
Review: Rushmore is a hilarious comedy about a fifteen year old Max Fischer(Jason Schwartzman)attends a highly educated school "Rushmore". Herman Blume(Bill Murray)is Max's mentor. Then Rosemary Cross(Olivia Williams)comes along which attracts the both of them to compete for her. You will really really love this film. This film is also genius. This film is a smart comedy, not a stupid comedy so your going to need smarts to watch this film. Max Fischer makes the best of plays, which you would also find it to be the best. This film was written and directed from the person who did the movie "Bottle Rocket". This is a definite must see for everyone.

Summary: more belly laughs than "Tenenbaums" but not as much spirit
Review: Rushmore is entertaining and funny, but not quite as true to life as The Royal Tenenbaums. Jason Schwartzman does a fantastic acting job; as usual, Bill Murray fails convince me that he's in love. Perhaps the fact that the main character is a budding young playwright hints at some autobiographical aspect to the plot?

Summary: Absolutely Superb
Review: I wish there were more movies like this one. It's totally off-the-wall, but has intelligence and a warm heart. At first, I wasn't sure if this movie was going to be my cup of tea: The kid and his friends just reek of weirdness. But, I was hopelessly drawn to them in minutes, and interested in what they were going to do or say. Bill Murray excels in this movie. Forget "Lost in Translation", THIS film contains his best work. He truly shows an emotional scale that ranges from A to Z. The supporting oddball characters are mercilessly intriguing. Just when you think they're coming out of left field (or from another planet), they show their humanity. End result: you end up liking them...a lot. The music is right on target, especially Cat Stevens. The instrumental portions are appropriately playful and memorable. I loved this movie. It's a masterpiece. The packaging is superb, and the DVD contains enough bonus material to make this one fine purchase. Yep, it costs a lot, but the old adage is true: You get what you pay for.

Summary: A very unusual high school movie
Review: This promises to be a more satisfying DVD than the mass-market edition as it offers many bonuses along with the very engaging movie. Rushmore took me by surprise when I first saw it. Jason Schwartzman's character, Max Fischer, has to be one of the most original high school protagonists to come along in a long time. He finds himself a square peg in a round hole at a prep school, concocting one fantastic scheme after another which livens up the otherwise dreary academic experience of Rushmore. Bill Murray provides a remarkable performance as a self-made millionaire, Mr. Blume, whom young Max solicits for his grandest scheme yet, a multi-million dollar aquarium to please the young teacher he is so smitten by. This soon evolves into a very comic love triangle, with Max opting for some rather dark attempts at getting back at Blume for stealing his love interest. The object of affection is a very fetching Olivia Williams. There are so many odd turns in this movie that it continually catches you by surprise. Most notable are the plays Max stages including a theatrical version of Serpico and one of the Vietnam War. But, probably the most touching scenes are those between Max and his father, played by Seymour Cassel. Max tries to distance himself from the lowly station of his father, a local barber, but eventually is able to reconcile himself with his father. Max finally accepts that Miss Cross maybe a little too old for him, and places his affections in the more suitable Margaret Yang, having now been kicked out of Rushmore and finding himself having to face the trials and tribulations of public school. The movie is underscored by a fine soundtrack that includes Rod Stewart's Ooh La La, when he sang for the Faces. This is a great movie, ranking up there with Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused as one of the best high school movies of all time.

Summary: A Modern Classic. Please pair Schwartzman & .........
Review: ....Murray together again. They are like the modern day odd couple. Well maybe not odd, but definately the comedic couple.
It was Electrifying to watch them together on the screen. Both with awesome comic timing, each one able to hold their own scene and keep the laughs coming. Schwarztzman has the better lines in the film, but Murray holds his own with his many funny facial expressions, especially the scene where he's chucking golf balls at a kid, while smoking and drinking a bud, and watching his ex getting touched up by another. Great stuff. The sound track is very good, with songs by the Rolling Stones, the Who, and the Faces.
If you ain't seen it yet, buy it on DVD NOW.

Summary: Please....
Review: This film starts out very dull and boring and goes downhill from there. I love comedies and after reading the reviews I expected something as good as all the films it was compared to. No dice. It is badly written, terribly cast, poorly acted, and horribly edited... it should have been chopped down to 3 minutes. It has nothing going for it, so if a zero were allowed, that would be my rating. It is now on my list of the 10 worst films I have ever seen. Avoid at all costs unless you like cruel and unusual punishment. This film should be used to torture prisoners of war... after fifteen minutes of this crap, they would confess anything not to watch any more of it. If you like watching grass grow, this is the film for you... but then, on second thought, it is more boring than that. Grass has beauty.
