What a waste of my time!!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

RushmoreThe symmetric world of Wes Anderson, is bang on bucks as it moves swiftly and keeps it to the point whilst depicting the characteristics of the characters and doesn't grow obvious or pretentious for a frame. The unresolved issues of the protagonist is what fuels this plot driven feature where its newer structure and unpredictable revelation is what keeps the audience engaged throughout the course of it where they are barely allow to breathe. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and background score but has got it right on its d.o.p. and editing. Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson keeps the amusing aspect of the characters alive throughout the course of it and addition to that Anderson's keen knowledge on executing an eerie world, favors in on huge margin. Jason Schwartzman is flat out hilarious on his role as a protagonist and is supported thoroughly by Bill Murray and Olivia Williams. The gripping screenplay and the space allotted to each character to fit in and flaunt their effective act, is what makes it dig deeper than its potential. Rushmore is a fast paced train that never derails from its tone but is also a long overcooked journey that can be off putting for some viewers.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerWes Anderson's second feature film is a winner. It is funny, smart, and touching. The story is fast and the jokes are hilarious. The characters are well thought out and are funny in their own special way.The acting is very good. Jason Schwartzman delivers a great performance as Max Fischer. Max is quick witted, smart, and at times very charming. Bill Murray is once again hilarious and Brain Cox performs very well. Olivia Williams, Seymour Cassel, Mason Gamble, and Luke Wilson also perform very well.The pacing starts off fast but slows done towards the end. The runtime is also overlong.Pros: Hilarious story, good acting, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman perform very well, and fast pacing in the beginningCons: Slow pacing towards the end, the story is too long, and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 7.8

This wonderfully different comic/drama was way ahead of its time when it was made, and continues to be unparalleled when it comes to originality or effort. Every scene is exquisite. Not to be missed.

Wes Anderson's second feature film continues with his off kilter style with a twist of French New Wave cinema.Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is a 15 year old student who managed to get into an elite primary school, Rushmore but spends all his time on extracurricular activities than actual studying much to the chagrin of the headmaster Dr Guggenheim who is concerned about his grades.Herman Blume (Bill Murray) is an industrialist wit an unhappy marriage, twin sons who cannot abide him and befriends Max. Both fall out over Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) a widowed teacher who arrives at Rushmore as a teacher. Max becomes infatuated with her and Blume starts to date her.There are times you actually feel like slapping Max as he comes across as obnoxious. I kept forgetting he is only 15 years old. Max is a person who has intellect, ability but lacks the emotional maturity that comes with age. He slowly realises how rude he has been to people around him and decides to make amends.The screenplay by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson has plenty of offbeat moments underlined with a dark melancholy which we experience in Bill Murray's face but it is not always consistent. However this film marks out Anderson as a talent to watch.
