	The BigScreen Cinema Guide: Reader Reviews - Rushmore
		Rushmore is a finely written, superbly acted sublime comedy that just delighted me. I wonder if everyone else will feel the same, but I have no problem giving it my highest recommendation if you're looking for a smart comedy with a simple, well-told story.
		This movie about a 15 year old boy who has a crush on one of the teachers that teaches at his prep school is humorous in a quirky sort of way.
		The movie seems to take on an adult theme of childs play; the immaturity of a young man in love juxtaposed with the adult man in love with the same woman connotes a hilarious revelation that the difference between boys and men in the art of love is not all that huge of a gap.

	Jared's Pick - Movie Reviews: Rushmore
		Max schoolwork suffers further because he falls in love with a first grade teacher at Rushmore, and begins to focus all his disturbing energies on winning her hand: he befriends a steel tycoon named Herman Blume and solicits money for a massive aquarium he want to build to impress her.
		After the effortless first hour, Rushmore seems to be confused in its tone for a time, torn between a wonderfully offbeat comedy and a wonderfully offbeat character study.
		Rushmore has some of the most intelligent use of music I've ever seen (or heard) in a film, with obscure British Invasion tracks from the Rolling Stones, The Who and The Faces adding a vital tone to the film.

	Screens: Academy Leader: An Interview with Rushmore's Wes Anderson
		Rushmore is the minimally autobiographical story of prodigy schoolboy/playwright Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) and the past-middle-aged wealthy alum/industrialist Mr.
		(Rushmore was filmed on the campus of Anderson's high school alma mater, St. John's School in Houston, Texas.) However, the movie is not a love story as much as it is a comedy of personalities.
		With the attention the movie has already generated (Rushmore has figured prominently in a host of top 10 lists of 1998 -- the film was released for a week in December in New York and Los Angeles to qualify for an Academy nomination), Anderson is in demand.

	Movie Review: Rushmore
		An average viewer, who goes to the movies once a month or even less frequently might face a standard specimen of any of Hollywood's standard genres (romantic comedy, action, special effects extravaganza) rarely enough that the redundancy of these films goes unnoticed.
		Rushmore is an offbeat comedy, an offbeat buddy film, an offbeat romance, and an offbeat revenge story.
		After all, with all the film's theatrical mise-en-scene, replete with opening and closing curtains at the beginning and the end, Rushmore is a celebration of life at its most theatrical, and as such would make a nice companion piece to Shakespeare in Love, which developed a similar theme in a vastly different manner.

	Dr. Daniel's Movie Emergency - Rushmore - Bill Murray, Olivia Williams, Jason Schwartzmann
		Rushmore is the story of Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), a tenth-grader at the prestigious Rushmore Academy.
		A movie can be smart and witty and still be very funny on a slapstick level.
		I found it ironic that two of the best performances ignored by Academy voters were from comedic actors who decided to spin the wheel and get away from their usual role and do something with a more serious tone.

	Rushmore Movie Review by Anthony Leong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), a brilliant 15 year-old student of the elitist Rushmore Academy, is your atypically ambitious underachiever.
		Even though she is nearly twice his age, Max falls head-over-heels in love with her, and sets out to build her a full-size aquarium on school grounds.
		Finally, Williams is an appealing love interest for the story, bringing the refined sense of tenderness that would believably attract the attentions of Max and Herman.

	Rushmore Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Co-written by director Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson, Rushmore is a rare comedy that manages to be both hysterically funny and poignant, sometimes at the exact same instant.
		Director Anderson personally supervised the transfer and he has to be pleased with the results — a gorgeous, unblemished picture and spectacular sound, whether it is the thunder of the Who's guitars during the "you are forgiven" sequence or merely the soft rustle of wind through trees.
		The other insert is as offbeat as the movie itself — entitled "The World of Max Fischer," it is a map with all the key characters and locations of the film included.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Rushmore
		When Bill Murray was not given a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in "Rushmore", one of the biggest injustices to ever occur in the film industry happened, and left it's mark of shame.
		Though Max is involved in every single club on campus, his grades are terrible and he is on the verge of being removed from the school.
		"Rushmore" was written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson (yeah, the crooked nosed guy) and features such witty dialogue and cynicism, it could possibly be one of the best screenplays of the past decade.

		But that changes in Rushmore which is by no means a Bill Murray movie, but rather a unique character comedy with an oddly romantic twist.
		Rushmore is Max's life, and he has in every way shape and form tried to contribute to the school's active student life.
		Cross fall just a little in love with Max, and therein lies one of the keys to the movie-had she spurned Max from that start, or even played along innocently, his obsession would be meaningless.

	Entertainment Ave! The Movie Theater - A movie review of Rushmore.
		I won't say that "Rushmore" was a bad film, but I understand why the critics found the movie so triumphant, and I found a kind of boring.
		As an all-out comedy this movie had a lot of potential, but the powers that be, and all else involved, went for the artsy side, keeping the humor subtle and dry, the dialog more intellectual, and quite frankly, at least for me, left me slightly disappointed.
		A couple of scenes in the movie had me laughing out loud, namely the dinner scene where Max has a couple of drinks, as well as the ending play that Max puts on, but for the most part, the movie was mostly chuckle humor.

		Written by Owen Wilson and director Wes Anderson, "Rushmore" is a hilarious character study and personal journey for Max Fischer, with spirit guides that include the alternately sad and manic Bill Murray as Max's tycoon mentor, Mr.
		But "Rushmore" is the anomaly of the Christmas movie rush: a bright, funny and unpredictable film about a young man still riding the cusp between youth and manhood.
		Though he goes to the ritzy Rushmore, Max is actually the son of an unprepossessing barber (Seymour Cassel).

		Son of a barber pretending to be the scion of a neurosurgeon, Fischer participates in every extra curricular activity known to Rushmore Academy.
		Rushmore respects Fischer's inventiveness and drive, even as it delivers his comeuppance.
		Rushmore, marks Fischer's movie debut, and quite an auspicious one it is. Son of Talia Shire and nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, he could have quite a future ahead of him.

	DVD Review: Rushmore: Criterion Collection
		The film stars newcomer Jason Schwartzman as Max Fischer, a young student at Rushmore academy who you would think is a star student: he's started nearly every school club and is involved in almost every action that changes the school.
		The three are not recorded together and their comments have been edited together into one commentary track, which probably was needed since the three were busy doing various other projects, but I sensed that there would have been a little more fun had the three been talking together.

	Rushmore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Rushmore, as in life, is a mixture of comedy and drama, of surprises and inevitability, and most importantly, is purely human.
		Rushmore has a good deal of content and human qualities to spare, but what makes it such a charming and satisfying experience is its style.
		Rushmore is intended to be hip and funny, but it's not really either.

	Rushmore movie review
		Max writes and produces for the Max Fischer Players, organises petitions to keep Latin in the curriculum, and is the head of the fencing team, the debate team, the karate team, the chess club, and the Rushmore beekeepers, among his many activities.
		Rosemary, who is twice Max's age, is attracted to Max but decides she is too old for him and begins dating Max's friend Herman, a wealthy industrialist, on the sly.
		The movie has a strong romantic message to it which was a surprise to me, as I expected it to be more about the conflict between Herman and Max.

	Rushmore - Movie Review
		"Rushmore", co-written by Owen Wilson and director Wes Anderson, gets its laughs instead from subtlety and quirkiness of character, and does it all with a largely low-profile cast and minimal show-boating.
		Though relatively short in length, there's a surprising depth to each of the characters in "Rushmore", and the kind of unique inventive script you just don't get enough of in US comedies these days.
		There are also some terrific performances from the lead players, and Schwartzman has oft been compared to a young Dustin Hoffman for his portrayal of Max - but don't take that to mean this is a copy of "The Graduate".

	Mutant Reviewers from Hell do "Rushmore"
		Max Fischer is a 15-year-old student at the exclusive Rushmore academy, attending thanks to an academic scholarship won through a “little one-act about Watergate,” a play written in the second grade.
		While the Rushmore administrators thought that was astounding, Max has continued to be impressive: every extracurricular activity Rushmore offers was either founded or is run by Max; he has his hand in everything from the school magazine to the wrestling team to an aviation club.
		This is not a movie to watch while you’re doing something else: the little facial tics and asides Murray makes when he’s on-screen are not to be missed.

	American Experience \| Mount Rushmore \| Primary Sources
		While the controversy the Mount Rushmore scenes caused appears humorous today, it was, at the time, a serious matter for the officials of the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior and for South Dakota's United States senator Karl E. Mundt.
		Altogether, the crew lensed three scenes at Mount Rushmore: Eva Marie Saint's staged shooting of Grant in the memorial's cafeteria, the parking lot scene in which the rangers haul away Grant's "dead" body in a station wagon, and a number of views of the memorial from various terraces.
		The press was reacting enthusiastically to the use of Mount Rushmore as a locale in the soon-to-be-released film, and the director appeared happy to foster yet another "expedient exaggeration" -- the illusion that the movie's climax occurred on the real Mount Rushmore.

		Much of the praise about the movie has to do with his performance, and it's all well-deserved.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Rushmore" review (2004) Wes Anderson, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray
		This is not because Rushmore contains Murray's greatest performance -- it doesn't quite reach the heights he achieved in "Groundhog Day." It's because Murray has been long overdue for recognition, and this movie is as good as any, and better than most.
		The main character in Rushmore is Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman, the talented son of Talia Shire, nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, and cousin of Nicolas Cage), who is president or founder of nearly every kind of extra-curricular activity imaginable in his prestigious school, Rushmore Academy.
		However, Rushmore is no ordinary movie, and I think it will develop a strong cult following with the folks that catch on to its funky vibe.

	Rushmore - MOVIE REVIEW - Los Angeles Times - calendarlive.com
		Max Fischer is one strange kid, and "Rushmore," the ode to teenage dementia that is his story, matches him in eccentricity.
		Anderson's first film, co-written (as "Rushmore" is) with actor Owen Wilson, was the charming independent hit "Bottle Rocket." "Rushmore" is considerably more ambitious and impressive, but while it has some of its predecessor's blithe charm, it also has a protagonist it takes an act of will to care about.
		But you can't have "Rushmore" without Max, and though Anderson obviously planned it this way, the kid is finally too off-putting to tolerate.

		"Rushmore" is a very funny movie, an antic celebration of adolescent genius and eccentricity.
