"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Rushmore | 1998 | R | - 3.3.6
Bill Murray is an alumnus of a private school who does battle with student Jason Schwartzman when they both fall for the same woman (Olivia Williams). Seymour Cassel, Brian Cox, Mason Gamble, Sara Tanaka, Stephen McCole, Ronnie McCawley, Keith McCawley, Connie Nielsen and Kim Terry co-star.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Sexual innuendo and one kiss. We see a few bare-breasted centerfolds on a wall.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - A few scuffles and a couple of face punches (one person gets a bloody nose and one has a bruised eye). We see another person with a bruised eye and fake blood on someone's temple. During some stage plays, we see simulated gunshots, machine gun fire, explosions and hitting with guns; we also see simulated blood and corpses. A group of kids pelt a teenager with rocks. A car nearly hits some kids when its brakes fail.
LANGUAGE 6 - About 9 F-words (and one obscene finger gesture), one racial epithet, some anatomical and scatological references and some mild obscenities.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Infatuation, mentors, growing up.
MESSAGE - Even nerds can get revenge.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare - 5.7.5
Abigail - 1.9.10
Sasquatch Sunset - 8.7.0
Sting - 1.7.7
