A bittersweet comedy more akin to British mod sensibilities and the French New Wave than traditional American teen flicks, Wes Anderson's film is an engaging, compassionate look into the life of 15-year-old Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman), a poor scholarship student at the posh Rushmore Academy. An extracurricular overachiever with grand schemes, Max believes he can accomplish anything--including winning the love of the beautiful teacher, Miss Cross (the luminous Olivia Williams). Max's dauntless pursuit of her love and the subsequent conflict with his friend and rival Herman Blume (Bill Murray, in a stellar performance) make for a witty and insightful exploration of the joys and frustrations of adolescence.

Quotes from the Movie
"When one man, for whatever reason, has the opportunity to lead an extraordinary life, he has no right to keep it to himself."--a quote by Jacques-Yves Cousteau that is written in DIVING FOR SUNKEN TREASURE, a book read by Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) <br> <br> "What's the secret, Max?"--Herman Blume (Bill Murray) <br> "The secret?"--Max <br> "Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out."--Mr. Blume <br> "The secret...I don't know. I think you just gotta find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life. For me, it's going to Rushmore."--Max <br> <br> "We both have dead people in our families."--Max to Rosemary Cross (Olivia Williams) <br> <br> "Has it ever crossed your mind that you're far too young for me?"--Miss Cross <br> "It crossed my mind that you might consider that a possibility, yeah."--Max <br> <br> "I like your nurse's uniform, guy."--Max to Dr. Flynn (Luke Wilson) <br> "These are O.R. scrubs."--Dr. Flynn <br> "Oh, are they?"--Max <br> <br> "I know about you and the teacher."--Dirk Calloway (Mason Gamble) to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "I saved Latin. What did you ever do?"--Max to Mr. Blume <br> <br> "Rushmore was my life. Now you are!"--Max to Miss Cross <br> <br> "She's my Rushmore, Max."--Mr. Blume to Max <br> "Yeah, I know. She was mine too."--Max <br> <br> "Although I will say that Edward has more spark and character and imagination in one fingernail than Herman Blume has in his entire body."--Miss Cross <br> "One dead fingernail."--Max <br> <br> "Sic Transit Gloria" (Glory fades).--Max to Miss Cross, also in Max's play, HEAVEN AND HELL
