Ob als Bienenzüchter, Astronom, Theaterautor oder Fechter – der 15-Jährigen Max (Jason Schwartzman) ist ein wahres Multi-Talent. Die klassischen Schulfächer interessieren Max allerdings kein bisschen. Deshalb sind die Lehrer der Privatschule Rushmore auch ziemlich unzufrieden mit den Leistungen des 10.Klässlers. Zu seinen Mitschülern pflegt Max kaum Kontakt, er gilt als exzentrischer Außenseiter. Nur zu dem eigenwilligen Geschäftsmann Herman Blume (Bill Murray) gelingt es Max, eine engere Freundschaft aufzubauen. Blume ist es auch, dem Max als erster seine Liebe zu einer neuen Lehrerin gesteht. Die attraktive Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) lehnt aber entschieden alle Annäherungsversuche des 15-Jährigen Schülers ab, auch wenn sie noch so originell und liebevoll gemeint sind. Die Welt bricht für Max endgültig zusammen, als er erfährt, dass sein erwachsener Freund Blume und Rosemary ein Verhältnis haben. Mit allen Mitteln versucht nun Max, seinen Liebes-Konkurrenten zu vertreiben. (ServusTV)

Anderson is usually unique, but here he still had significant reservations in terms of narrative pace and style. Even then, it was a portion of original entertainment with a sheer essence of melancholy, but the whole story, although we have all been platonically in love with a young smiling teacher at some point, drags on very slowly and I can only catch glimpses of it through slowed-down shots, a fantastic soundtrack, or occasional charmingly weird gags. As a whole, however, Rushmore is so specifically self-contained that I eagerly look forward to the director's shift in my favorite family three years later.

A brilliant Wes Anderson – as always, really. I had a bit of a problem believing Jason Schwartzman was a 15-year-old boy, but then I found out he was about 17 at the time of filming and I figured he was actually well cast because his Max was supposed to look that way. And Bill Murray is a safe bet, of course. The amount of emotion he can put into one look, another actor can't do in a whole film.

During the first half hour I looked forward to giving it five stars. Anderson sucked me into a world full of quirky characters, real feelings and delicate quips, and, smiling from ear to ear, I listened to every retort and watched every expression of the greatly cast actors (Bill Murray in particular, with another over-the-top role). But the humour gradually decreases, both in the dialogues and the development of the characters and their confrontations, yet the film never ceases being one of the most adorable genre contributions from the 90s, with a romantic line that works wonderfully in its own absurdity and unique world, and characters that are guaranteed to be etched in your memory. And the low-key but solid soundtrack adds to the colour. Let yourselves be drawn in and you are sure to have fun, though not all the way to 5*.

Nach Ruben Östlund habe ich mich entschieden, Wes Anderson zu erkunden. Sein Debüt habe ich nirgendwo gefunden, also habe ich mit seinem zweiten Werk begonnen, das Disney+ zusammen mit ein paar anderen Filmen dieses originellen Regisseurs anbietet. Es war lustig, Jason Schwartzman in seiner vielleicht einzigen Hauptrolle als Pubertierenden zu sehen. Ein angenehmer Drei-Sterne-Film, der definitiv nicht beleidigen kann.

I like Wes Anderson's movies, but I simply don't consider this one to be the best he has made. His aesthetics can be felt here, it's pleasantly quirky, but the main character is truly appalling. You can easily despise them. Furthermore, the story doesn't captivate you as much as Anderson's other works do. It's well-acted, but I guess I expected more.
