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.

Well, it's a Wes Anderson movie, and that alone is usually enough for most people to draw their own conclusions. He's a divisive filmmaker and it doesn't seem like there's much middle ground between those who love him and those who loathe him. Count me in the former camp. For what it's worth, _Rushm More

Agree with Cy. I was unsure whether I'd enjoy the movie until about twenty minutes in. It was intriguing to determine what Herman had seen in Max that made him want tone get closer to him. Is Herman attracted to an ability or a superficial one? Why not take an interest in his own kids? Herman does h More
