Bill Murrey, smoking (?) a cigarette, dives in his pool. Genius.

Wes Anderson is an extremely talented director, and his expertise shines in Rushmore. This can't however make up for the fact that the main character is a pretentious little prick who focuses throughout the entire movie on forcing a young teacher (Williams) to stat rape him. I loved the first half of the movie, it was fun watching the guy go about his clubs and enjoy life, and I didn't have a problem with him crushing on the teacher, however about halfway through his crush turns into a creepy obsession. This obsession leads him to destroy the life of his best friend (Murray) and cut the brakes to his car. The movie ceases to be cute and fun and turns creepy and annoying. Anderson's talents shine in the production, but the protagonist absolutely destroys what could have been a good film.

I really enjoyed this. It was silly and funny. Jason Schwartman and Bill Murray are both great and have great chemistry and a fun rivalry. Max is a little bit of a prick but it's interesting to see how far he will go. I like the camera work, the unique shots and symmetry. The soundtrack is pretty great too.

this is a really funny movie actually. just loved it. again the concept is unique to my knowledge. never seen a similar movie before. i gues wes anderon can always suprise me, but i feel that his work is little bit overrated, dont get me wrong he is a great writer/director.

Man does Wes Anderson do relationship dynamics well. And he's so good at demonstrating the growth that can only come from hitting rock bottom. He's a master.

One of the first by Wes Anderson and you can already admire his style

**Not exactly perfect, but damn near it.** Soundtrack is top notch. Everyone is stellar in this. Max’s plays are so great.

I’m not a big fan on wes anderson and don’t think much of the other films I’ve seen from him but this film i really enjoyed, it was fun to watch and had a decent cast ( a cast he mostly always uses in his films) definitely worth your time..

Wasn't really liking it till probably about the final 20 minutes or so... Then it all came together and was really enjoyable.
