Matt Greene I like dry humor, but this thing is as dry as a mouthful of saltines. Not that it's completely unfunny by any means; Max Fischer is such a unique and shockingly un-self-aware jerk, yet his inconsequential incompetence makes him undeniably fascinating. It's a fine little indie, but it's not the comedy classic it's made out to be, or anywhere near Anderson's best (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums).

dan_ford ...and I will fight you if you disagree. Full of heart as well as quirk, and before that quirkiness became self conscious. Funny surprising and gorgeous.

tlyoung88 I love Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom and heard such great stuff about this film.Boy was I wrong. Jason Schwarzmann plays an unlikable, entitled douchebag and the only reason we sympathize with him is because the film tries so hard to insist upon it.I wanted to poke my eyes out and strangle kittens every time I see him with that teacher he basically harassed and tried to emotionally manipulate. And no one calls him on this??? Sorry, but it's taken me days to get to the end of this film and I feel like I've been watching it for weeks in five minute increments. Unforgivable long tedious minutes.

blakelockett45 Wes Anderson's "Rushmore" is a a fun comedy with heart at the center. Co-written by Owen Wilson and staring Jason Schwartzman, the trio collaborates great and all seem to be coming from a similar frame of mind. Bill Murray and Olivia Williams are also both outstanding in supporting roles. The dialog is witty and at times very true to life. This fun, coming of age story about a preppy kid dealing with the trials and tribulations of adolescence is a must see for the indie film lover.eight out of ten stars
