RUSHMORE: PRETTY DAMN GOOD!

So last night I watched Rushmore for the first time. Since so many people spooge over this film, I was a little hesitant that this would be something along the lines of Napolean Dynamite, or Donnie Darko. Both good enough films, but grossly over rated. Well Rushmore lived up to the hype. The tweaked sense of humor was very satisfying. There seemed to be something to laugh at in every scene. Even when someone was getting their heart broken. It also chugged along with great pacing, never skipping a beat, even with it’s false ending(or at least I thought it was ending). I also enjoyed every character, which is surprising considering Bill Murray was cast. All in all, Rushmore lived up to expectation, and then some. I’ll definitely have to check out more Wes Anderson. Royal Tenenbaums is up next!

  2. Not my favourite Anderson flick; that honour goes to The Darjeeling Limited. Awesome director :)
