Back To Index Rushmore
 Barnes & Noble Unappreciated at the box office, Rushmore is nevertheless a poignant comedy that deals with heartbreak, cross-generational friendship, class, ambition, and emotional resurrection -- not to mention the variegated ways to say and mean a word like "handjob." The plot traces four months in the life of Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), a high school sophomore on a scholarship to Rushmore Academy, where he is both the most prolific club-founder and worst student. Over the course of a few days in September, he befriends a steel tycoon, Herman Blume (Bill Murray), and a fourth-grade teacher, Ms. Cross (Olivia Williams). Smitten with Ms. Cross, he illegally builds an aquarium dedicated to her -- a project that gets him expelled from the academy. Adding insult to injury, he also discovers Cross and Blume have taken up with each other, and so November is marked by his forlorn withdrawal from the world. By December, he has bounced back with a new play, based on his pain and parts of his friends lives, delivering Heaven and Hell, one of the greatest school dramas known to mankind. Rushmore is Wes Andersons follow-up to his immensely likeable debut, Bottle Rocket, and establishes the director as an equal in the deep-dish comedy realm of Stanley Kubrick (Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) and Hal Ashby (Harold and Maude). Overall, the deluxe DVD packaging and amusing extras go a long way to carving out Rushmores place as the warm, rich piece of comic poetry it is.
