I'm a massive Bill Murray fan and I like a lot of Wes Anderson's movies, so I was quite baffled when I watched this. I thought "WHAT THE **** AM I EVEN WATCHING?". Not horrible, but quite boring & annoying at times. Funny at times, the endingI'm a massive Bill Murray fan and I like a lot of Wes Anderson's movies, so I was quite baffled when I watched this.

Being a fan of so many Wes Anderson movies and Bill Murray I felt obliged to watch this film. I have to say I was not as thrilled or I simply didn't enjoy this movie as much as his other works.

Bursting with Wes Anderson flavors, this film stretches caricatures to their limits and then let's us see novel elongated image anew. The characters are believable and amusing nearly beginning to end.

Been a long times since I saw this and I bet I wouldn't think as highly of it now. Had it's moments, but overall kinda meh. I remember some things just didn't work. I did enjoy the female lead and some of Bill Murray's parts.

Rushmore

The 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.… Expand

Rushmore is just a very silly love story about a 15 year old Max who have a crush with his own teacher, a very pretty and beautiful teacher that somehow someway attracted to an 80 year old Bill Murray more than Max, it's silly and i don'tRushmore is just a very silly love story about a 15 year old Max who have a crush with his own teacher, a very pretty and beautiful teacher that somehow someway attracted to an 80 year old Bill Murray more than Max, it's silly and i don't quite like that kind of concept, the movie did kinda a right thing in the middle of the film but then ended up in the way that i don't like half of it, means that i like that they do with that way to him but i don't like that they do that way to him if you get it, i like the style of the movie, i think this is the first movie that Wes Anderson started to use the usual "Wes Anderson style" even though it's still a little bit but i like it, like Bottle Rocket the movie fills with good music, i like each of the performances, i did enjoy the movie all the way through, and i laugh at some of the comedy scene, but again the story is somewhat more important than all of that and it is the biggest cons of the film for me, Rushmore is not a bad movie it's more of like a very silly movie but not in a good way.… Expand
