Rushmore

Pros: Funny, honest, insightful.
Cons: It's a little story.

Rushmore is one of those haven't-seen-it-but-mean-to movies. Seems like everyone you know hasn't seen if, but has been told how great it is. Well, here's one more person endorsing this great film.

Rushmore centers around Max Fischer,...

Pros: none really
Cons: strange movie

Well the decision to see Rushmore came from the basis that: Number One, I'd heard of the movie and also Number Two, Bill Murray was in it and he is usually good in most of his movies.

You see, there's a fifteen year old boy named Max Fisher,...

Pros: funny, witty, enjoyable movie experience
Cons: not suitable for very young children

I reluctantly went to see this movie at the urging of a friend, not expecting too much from it due to my impression that it was going to be some kind of silly teen high school comedy.

I was very wrong. Rushmore is a well-crafted, witty,...

Pros: i liked it
Cons: my friends hated it

My close friends would be the first to tell anyone reading this review that I have terrible taste in movies. They don't usually trust me to pick out titles at the video store, but once I whined and complained so much that we ended up getting...

Pros: The finest, funniest comedy since Pulp Fiction ...
Cons: Limited for general consumption only by language ...

Quentin Tarantino--a man who knows how to watch movies at least as well as he knows how to make them (see, for example, his brilliant cameo disquisition on the homoerotic subtexts of Top Gun in the otherwise negligible Sleep with Me), as well as an...

Pros: It's a great movie
Cons: none

Rushmore is a great film. Every year I try and see as many films as possible so I can find those rule breaking, original, good movies that usually get overlooked (Rushmore was one of them). I think it was the best movie of 1998. It is a heartwarming...

Pros: Well written, interesting feel to the movie
Cons: Tries too hard and falls short, but not that short

Rushmore was a very daring movie, with unique characters, a decent plot, and a unique feel. It aspired to be a movie in the league of "The Graduate" and "Animal House" as far as capturing and molding the culture of the times....

Pros: There was the occasional laugh, wacky and weird...
Cons: Kind of dragged, dry humor...

Rushmore? I'm not sure about this movie. I've seen it twice now because I thought I should give it another chance. It was a little better the second time though, but it didn't shoot strait to the top of my list or anything.

A lot of the good...

Pros: good character, good actors
Cons: not enough explosions haha kidding

As far as movies go, Rushmore is out there. But surprisingly, it was one of the funniest movies i've ever encountered.
Jason Schwartzman plays Max Fischer, a student at the private institution, Rushmore. Max is an extremely unique individual. He...

Pros: Good Soundtrack, fun , clever characters
Cons: Uncompelling story

The fact that this film receives my 'ND' rating does not necessarily recommend it. It is, indeed, 'not depressing' but whatever else it is...is somewhat elusive. I suppose you have to appreciate the main characters...a 15 year-old precocious bespectacled...

Pros: Quirky, unpredictable characters
Cons: Quirky, unpredictable characters

I think if you're looking for a straight up comedy, you'll be disappointed. This is not an easily classifiable film, but one that I love for its unique spin on some interesting characters. I especially like the fact that Max is not completely lovable,...

Pros: Funny, well casted and dark
Cons: none

Ever walk thought BlockBusters and think "Man... they are all the same. I want something different, but good."? Pal, this is it. Pick it up with a few friends with a sense of humor as twisted as yours and pop the popcorn... it's going to be a...

Pros: Somewhat funny
Cons: Bad acting, bad movie

Rushmore proves that Bill Murray's acting career is finally begging to fade. The once hysterical front man for all comic relief has hit a slide in his acting career. First horrible performance in Hamlet to his current performance in Rushmore Murray...

Pros: Interesting Characters
Cons: Boring and B-movie feel to the movie

I wanted to like this movie. I like teen angst movies that try to show real-life loser high school kids. This one tried desperately but ultimately fell on its face.
Max, the main character, is interesting, but ultimately unlikeable. He has a crush...

Pros: Beautiful, fun and WHAT
Cons: I am losing my hair

Upon my first watching of Rushmore, I was astounded.

"One of the best movies I have ever seen!"

A little while later I was astounded that I had been so astounded, and yet I continued to be astounded from the first...
