Rushmore is about two guys, fighting over one woman. Max (Schwartzman) is just a kid in school, looking for ways to be president of the school's many clubs, but is never really good in actual school. Herman (Murray) is a married, depressed man with two bratty kids who is pretty wealthy. Ms. Cross (Williams) is a pre-school teacher at Max's school, Rushmore. Both of the guys end up fighting dirty to get the girl, to find out she's in love with someone else, who just so happens to be dead. Really brilliant film.

+ incredible play scenes
+ really funny + some realistic scope to the movie (when bill murray is hiding behind the tree)
+ lots of great characters

- some boring / pointless parts

A truly amazing movie, Wes Anderson's best work. Clearly unmissable and a cult classic to be. My second favourite indie comedy film next to American Splendor. Every scene is brilliant and there are some genuine funny moments with Max Fischer. He's one of the most oddball characters in recent movie history. Bill Murray is fantastic, and this movie starts his increasing love for roles as a down-and-out, depressed man who has a middle age crisis but just wants to have fun. No use explaining the story here, just check the synopsis at any site. I won't say enough things about this film to make you watch it. Just watch it for the ending battle scene, pure genius. Brilliant film, one of the best.
