Summary: "Coming of age" done right (for once)
Review: Oh my, what a funny, funny movie. But it's a black comedy. And you might not like it. You need to be able to be a bit mean yourself to love it, and you also need to be a bit mooshy deep down inside to get it. OK, my thoughts: this film, much like the wonderful "Welcome to the Dollhouse," is based on a certain embarassment factor. We have our unassailable hero, Max -- played wonderfully and fearlessly by Jason Schwartzman -- who is everything a Hollywood smarty-pants in high school movies should be: over-zealous, arrogant, lazy, manipulative, asthmatic, etc. He is both awful and wonderful to watch because all you can do is wait for his brilliant, ill-planned schemes to fail. And they have to fail in order to make this movie more than a teen-angst 90's "Pretty in Pink." And when they fail, of course you must feel awful about the whole thing, despite your former cringing. Just as surely as Max must be cringe-inducing, Bill Murray must be even more so. He is just wonderful as the awful, broken mentor and rival of our hero, Max. So basically the story is about 2 utter losers who behave nastily during a significant portion of the film. And it's really funny. And you come to like the characters for their flaws, and see some very weird parts of yourself in them. But it is also one of those films that sneaks up on you while you're laughing and has a philosophical point. And that's a sign of a fine, fine movie. (BTW, Bill Murray was robbed at the Oscars last yr. --- no nomination? What's that about?)

Summary: Work of a Genius!
Review: This movie, in my opinion, was a work of a subtle comedic genius. You have to enjoy intelligent, subtle humor to like this movie. I loved Austin Powers as much as anyone else, but this movie is the other end of the comedic spectrum--subtle, subdued, and heartfelt. I was disappointed in the DVD version...I would have liked to seen Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Olivia, and Wes Anderson behind the scenes or something; however, this movie is enough to stand on its own. If you aren't totally into DVD, but were considering the purchase of it, maybe you'll just want the VHS version. I do like the widescreen because you see more things, but this is a lacking DVD compared to other movies due to the "extra" features.

Summary: Alright, here's the deal with "Rushmore"...
Review: Okay, here's what you have to understand about Rushmore. You will either love it...or hate it. There is no middle ground. Two of my friends LOVED it. They even bought the soundtrack. Two of my friends hated it. They were bored out of their minds. They could not understand how I enjoyed it. I love it! I think its witty and well put together. Plus, who can't love Jason Schwartzman? But my advice to the perspective buyer is RENT IT FIRST! Just to be safe.

Summary: One of my top ten favorites
Review: Rushmore prooves Wes Anderson's he is becoming one of the best (comedy) writer/directors in Hollywood. Anderson gets career performances from his actors in Rushmore. Bill Murray, who was cast perfectly, should have received an oscar not just accolades from critics. (I guess Rushmore didn't sell enough tickets for the "good ole boys" at the Academy.) Rushmore doesn't condescend to worn cliches like the multitude of sight-gag, cookie-cutter comedies coming from Hollywood. The sheer side-splitting wit of Anderson's writing and direction, plus the outstanding performances makes this one of the decades best films. I heard someone say Boogie Nights is the first true American film, then Rushmore is the first true American comedy.

Summary: Thanks Owen and Wes
Review: Thank you,Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson,for scripting a creative masterpiece like Rushmore. I loved this film. All of it. The actors were all perfectly cast, the soundtrack is on my Christmas list and the dialogue had my house echoing laughter! Please don't stop making films!

Summary: "Rushmore" is a work of art
Review: "Rushmore"is a rare find. It could quite possibly be the funniest movie I have ever seen, why some people think it was dull I don't know. "Rushmore"is for anyone who as ever felt left-out, lonely, or confused. Jason Schwartzman is remarkable as Max Fischer and Bill Murray is great too. It just goes to show you how completely rediculous the Academy is by looking over this film, certainly the best of its kind in decades.

Summary: My Favorite Film of ALL TIME!
Review: Simply an amazing movie. Wes Anderson rules and I can't wait to see his next film that I hear he is working on with Owen Wilson. RUSHMORE is for anyone who roots for the underdog, for the odd man out, for someone who seems unlikely to have his stuff together but does it 10 times better than anyone else. Bill Murray finally plays a mature role. He's great in this movie. If you want to see GHOSTBUSTERS, don't see this.

Summary: Ho Hum
Review: I tried, I really did. I rented this based on the majority of positive reviews here and at IMDB. I couldn't get past the first fifteen minutes. Rarely can I not sit through a movie; I even tried to watch it again and I think I hit twenty minutes. I don't hate this movie as some do; I just found it completely uninteresting. The dialouge was at times painfull and almost alway tedious. Maybe it gets better, but I think I'll pass on a third sitting.

Summary: Kew
Review: Watch this movie at least twice. The first time I thought the plot was a little disjointed, and didn't get some of the jokes. The second time around, everything was much clearer and funnier. Although I wouldn't go so far as to say it's funnier than Pulp Fiction, it is, for my money, one of the funniest movies of the last half of the 90s. The best line: "Would you like perfect attendance or punctuality?" "I'll take punctuality." In the hotel scene look out the hotel window and you'll notice, to the far right, Richardson College, (a dorm at Rice University), where I happen to live.
