Rushmore

Rushmore is an odd movie which is probably meant to be a low-key comedy. It did not live up to my genre expectations though, as it seldom made me laugh. It left me wondering whether I had missed something crucial. If I have not, Rushmore is nothing but an ambitious and slightly manic trifle about 15-year-old Max Fischer, a genius, who is more committed to organizing all kinds of activities than attending class at Rushmore, a private school. He falls in love with his teacher, Rosemary Cross, but she appears to be more interested in Herman Blume, a middle-aged businessman, who has made friends with Max. Quite an unusual love triangle!
