A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Joanna Berry
Director Wes Anderson and his co-writer Owen Wilson - who first caught the eye with their low-budget debut Bottle Rocket - score again with this unusual black comedy, which centres around an extremely unconventional teen hero. The boy in question is 15-year-old Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), one of the least popular pupils at Rushmore Academy, who nonetheless runs just about every club and school activity in a megalomaniacal effort to further himself. Schwartzman gives a superbly nerdy performance, but Bill Murray - playing a depressed millionaire - steals every scene in this quirky, edgy and very funny tale of an outsider who just might end up leading all those who laugh at him.
