Rushmore

I do not know if anyone here is familiar with any movies directed by Wes Anderson such as "The Royal Tenenbaums" or "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou". This film is definitely better that Life Aquatic and one of Wes Anderson's better films. It stars Bill Murray as Mr. Herman Blume, Jason Schwartzman as Max Fischer, and Olivia Williams as Rosemary Cross. It is the story of Max Fischer who is a 15 year old student at Rushmore Academy who one day falls in love with a teacher named Mrs. Cross but Mr. Blume a wealthy business man Max has become friendly with likes her too. And it is a fight to get Mrs. Cross.

Max is in charge of many clubs and does a lot of after school activities but is not good in school. One day Mr. Blume comes to talk to his school and Max likes the speech. He introduces himself to Mr. Blume and Mr. Blume likes him. They become friendly and they usually do things to help each other out. While in the library Max is reading a book about under water animals and noticed a quote and likes the quote. He finds out who has taken out the book and finds out it is a teacher named Mrs. Cross. When he goes to see her he falls in love. He tries to win her over by putting on one of his famous plays that he creates. One of the funny things is that Mrs. Cross brings a friend along with and the whole night Max antagonizes him. But the funny part is when Max asks him what he is wearing he replies O.R. scrubs and Max says o are they. It is just so predictable but funny.

When Mr. Blume sees her at this diner he likes her and tries to win her over. He tries to persuade Max that she is not for him so he can have her. When Max finds out about this he and Herman have a back and forthing of fighting and retaliation. They even go to the points of ruining each others lives, where they become obsessed with getting back at one another. I will not tell you the things they do because it is funny and good. The things they will do to get Mrs. Cross are funny and great. One funny thing that has nothing to do with the fighting is when Herman is talking to Max about Mrs. Cross he comoes across a few kids playing basketball, he tells Max to hold on and he runs over to the court and blocks a kid shooting the ball. It was very random but very funny.

The movie might be dry humor but it is funny and witting dry humor. It is a movie definitely worth watching. I would recommend to anyone who is the mood for a good laugh and a good movie. Overall I owuld give a 8/10.
