Review of Rushmore (1998) by Sotiris K — 28 Jun 2018
I like dry humor, but this thing is as dry as a mouthful of saltines. Not that it's completely unfunny by any means; Max Fischer is such a unique and shockingly un-self-aware jerk, yet his inconsequential incompetence makes him undeniably fascinating.
It's a fine little indie, but it's not the comedy classic it's made out to be, or anywhere near Anderson's best (Fantastic Mr. Fox, Royal Tenenbaums).
