Summary: A Subtle Classic
Review: Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson have chisled themselves into my conscienceness as the duo who can do no wrong. Rushmore is a beautifully crafted and wonderfully acted little film who's impact left me feeling joyous for days after viewing it. Murray is subdued yet frequently hilarious AND he manages to mold his charachter into the most sympathetic tycoon I've ever seen portrayed on film. Equally good are Schwartzman and Williams. A lot of people have been labeling this flick "quirky" which is beyond me. Anderson and Wilson create charachters with depth and humanity. Perhaps this is too much for people who would rather watch cars explode with dinosaurs driving them through a computer generated atmosphere but for those of us missing the heart and truth in filmmaking, Rushmore delivers in spades.

Summary: The unfunniest "funny" movie of the year !
Review: I found this movie to be one of the unfunniest "funny" movies I've ever seen. There is no continuity in the plot, the characters are shallow and the sexual references are only there to get ratings. Murray is pitiful and the other actors aren't much better. If you want to waste your money, see Rushmore.

Summary: Stay FAR AWAY
Review: Words cannot describe how bad this movie is. Don't waste 90 minutes of your life; you will never get them back again. This is an absolute boring, dull, dud of a movie. You have been warned.

Summary: Rush to see Rushmore
Review: As a videostore employee, I get videos out before the official release date. Usually I give it a quick screening so I can come up with a snappy review for the customers. This movie I watched twice. I found it haunting and funny. The characters were believable for their motives even if some of Max's achievements required suspension of disbelief, mixed with frank admiration. Probably the dest comedy released this decade.

Summary: Humanity test
Review: If you don't choke up when Bill Murray says, "I'm a little bit lonely these days," then you are a robot and have no heart. This is a small, beautiful, sad, funny movie. Bill Murray gives the best performance of any actor in 1998.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I couldn't sit through more than 40 minutes of this movie. It says its a dark comedy but I didn't see any 'comedy' in it at all. Would not recommend it.

Summary: A horrible waste of time
Review: I'm not about to beat around the bush: This movie was a piece of crap. It wants desperately to be a "The Graduate" for the '90s, with a touch of "Summer of 42," but here is where it goes horribly wrong: The lead characters have absolutely NO charisma; the kid is no Dustin Hoffman, the lead female leaves you scratching your head as to why anyone would go out of his way for her; and Bill Murray -- who I normally enjoy immensely -- spends the entire movie registering two expressions -- surprise and blandness. Even Murray can't salvage this disaster. This kind of movie is the reason mainstream America continues to flock to Tom Cruise and Arnold Schwarzenegger flicks: The critics, completely clueless but pleased as punch because they've found something DIFFERENT, go overboard and praise the blasted thing. The public, foolishly placing trust in the critics, decides to give the movie a chance ... and are subsequently sorely disappointed. At least with a Cruise movie you have an idea of what kind of disappointment you might get. Not so with junk like this. And there was speculation that Murray should have received an Oscar nomination????? Give me a break! Not a single chuckle in this piece of junk.

Summary: A comic masterpiece on the consequences of friendship
Review: "Rushmore" is a very rare thing: a perfect movie. Nothing about it could be changed to make it better. Those who, like my wife and I, dislike the usual hyperactive loudmouths played by Bill Murray will be surprised by his skillfully subtle performance here. He, as well as the rest of the cast, never hits a false note.The music used in the soundtrack is also impressive, in that it fits the action on the screen so well that it seems that it was written especially for the movie. The effect is synergistic, in that both image and sound are enhanced by being combined so skillfully. One can only hope that Anderson and Wilson will continue to produce quirky masterpieces like "Bottle Rocket" and "Rushmore".

Summary: Colorful, vibrant, poignant, and sounds great!
Review: The weird thing about 'Rushmore' is the fact that it leaves you in stitches and you can't figure out why! Bill Murray gives a gut-wrenchingly subtle performance as eccentric millionaire Herman Blume. Set to a wonderful soundtrack and floating musical score by DEVO member Mark Mothersbaugh, 'Rushmore' delivers in every way possible.
