Max Fischer is een meer dan ijverige student op de prestigieuze Rushmore Academy. Hij ontmoet de kleuterjuf Ms. Cross op wie hij direct verliefd wordt. Zijn wereld stort ineen wanneer hij erachter komt dat zijn mentor, Herman Blume, ook voor haar is gevallen. Vanaf dat moment gaan alle regels de deur uit, want Max moet en zal Ms. Cross voor zich winnen. (Buena Vista International)

Anderson is usually unique, but here he still had significant reservations in terms of narrative pace and style. Even then, it was a portion of original entertainment with a sheer essence of melancholy, but the whole story, although we have all been platonically in love with a young smiling teacher at some point, drags on very slowly and I can only catch glimpses of it through slowed-down shots, a fantastic soundtrack, or occasional charmingly weird gags. As a whole, however, Rushmore is so specifically self-contained that I eagerly look forward to the director's shift in my favorite family three years later.

A brilliant Wes Anderson – as always, really. I had a bit of a problem believing Jason Schwartzman was a 15-year-old boy, but then I found out he was about 17 at the time of filming and I figured he was actually well cast because his Max was supposed to look that way. And Bill Murray is a safe bet, of course. The amount of emotion he can put into one look, another actor can't do in a whole film.

During the first half hour I looked forward to giving it five stars. Anderson sucked me into a world full of quirky characters, real feelings and delicate quips, and, smiling from ear to ear, I listened to every retort and watched every expression of the greatly cast actors (Bill Murray in particular, with another over-the-top role). But the humour gradually decreases, both in the dialogues and the development of the characters and their confrontations, yet the film never ceases being one of the most adorable genre contributions from the 90s, with a romantic line that works wonderfully in its own absurdity and unique world, and characters that are guaranteed to be etched in your memory. And the low-key but solid soundtrack adds to the colour. Let yourselves be drawn in and you are sure to have fun, though not all the way to 5*.

I like Wes Anderson's films, but I don't consider this one to be his best. His poetic style is already felt here; it's pleasantly offbeat, but the main character is really awful. You can easily hate her. Moreover, the story won't captivate you as much as Anderson's other works. The acting was good, but I guess I expected more.
