Wes Anderson’s this low budget
independent American comedy brought lot of attention for its dry humor where
characters are losers, oddballs and frustrated souls all packed in one. Though he brought out
turn of the screwball fun to the screen in flashes, I don’t find it as amusing
and delightful fun to watch as ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’. What I'm missing terribly here is brilliant writing of his later films and vibrant characters full of life with all whims and fancies.
Max Fischer is a geek student and
he’s students’ magazine Editor, French Club President, Vice President of Stamps
and Coins club, Debate team Captain, Baseball Team Manager, Astronomy Society
Founder, Fencing Team Captain, Choirmaster and coveted with all other
designations tags of extra curricular activities in the prestigious Rushmore Institute
except being good in study. And now he wanted to explore his romantic side by
having crush on his lady teacher. He got a rival too in form of Herman Blume,
another oddball. After telling lies and character assassination to win the
favor, he messed up so many things. Soon he expelled from the institute due to
his weird new ventures and poor academic record.
Jason Schwartzman played Max and
he brought the 15 years kid doomed by social skills. It has presence of
wonderful Bill Murray; though I respect him as an actor, I didn’t like his
character here much; the only impressive character I found is played by Olivia
Williams as Miss Cross. Quite an average show for me.
Ratings-6/10
