"Unsuccessfully walks the line between intellectual and physical comedy, but does have many genuinely funny moments"
AboutFilm.com
Carlo Cavagna
4/5
"
Rushmore
is a truly American film that deserves to be seen by many, many people."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
"... it does manage a modicum of cynicism, not the usual hardcore late-'90s variety, but less abrasive, more adorable."
Philadelphia City Paper
Cynthia Fuchs
88/100
"Anderson is unable to frame an uninteresting shot."
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
1/4
"[
Rushmore
is] overblown with despicable and unfunny plot twists which create the illusion that audience members are seeing something worthwhile."

"This is arguably Bill Murray's best role yet."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
7/10
"Something very special."
Draxblog Movie Reviews
Dragan Antulov
4/4
"
Rushmore
, as in life, is a mixture of comedy and drama, of surprises and inevitability, and most importantly, is purely human."

Dustin Putman
2.5/5
"
Rushmore
is a film with a lot of promise. Unfortunately most of it gets wasted."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
B
"
Rushmore
is one of those films that are so original, it's almost off-putting."
Film Blather
Eugene Novikov
"A quirky comedy about an egocentric young man who proves himself to be an eager student of life."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
5/5
"While
Rushmore
can be analyzed from many angles, I think it’s most interesting as a daring and original character study."
eCinemaCenter.com
Gabe Leibowitz
2.5/4
"
Rushmore
is intended to be hip and funny, but it's not really either."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/4
"The filmmaking itself is fresh and original; lots of fast-paced camera work, splashy colors and quirky angles."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
9/10
"Quirky, unique, original in style, funny as heck, with some great performances put forth by the entire cast, this movie offers an extremely viable alternative to all of us who are sick and tired of watching the same old Hollywood comedies."
JoBlo's Movie Emporium
JoBlo
3/4
"This is still a film not to be missed if you're tired of conventionality."
Montreal Film Journal
Kevin N. Laforest
A
"It's uniquely inspired lunacy that's an instant comedy classic..."
Reeling Reviews

"[It] could be fun, but it never seems to be."

Mark R. Leeper
2.5/4
"...the quirkiness seems a little forced, a little overdone."
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
6/10
"
Rushmore
is certainly one of the most original films in years. It saddens me that it simply didn't speak to me."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/4
"... the key to the film's memorable moments are the engaging characters."
rec.arts.movies.reviews
Michael Dequina
3/5
"This is a movie in which a lot of hurt people grope toward something that even they cannot quite visualize. Its appeal is in its quirky characters and in its moments of humor and perception."
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
5/5
"Moments of classic slapstick rubbing elbows with moments of painful candor."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves

Rushmore
is a charming, unconventional film that reminds me of the cult favorite
Harold and Maude
