MOVIE REVIEW
Rushmore tells the twisted tale of a boy who falls in love with his teacher and will do just about anything to get her to love him back. Okay, so that might not be the best explanation, but it's the best I can do to paraphrase. The fact is, Rushmore is a weird and original film that emphasizes on a comedy not seen in most movies. Bill Murray seems right at home - that's not to say he has a weird sense of comedy, but it seems that in this movie his true style is revealed. Full movie review »
