Ratings and reviews

Wes Anderson you do a whole lot better writing if you don't have Owen Wilson in there messing it up. Your best work is without him, just a little heads up. mic pete Cl;-)~™ Ririe, ID USA 🇺🇸

When your a rich kid you think youll stay rich. Well I didnt, and I was depressed for years and this movie cheered me up, it really changed my perspective on how I should respond emotionally to failure. I gave up before but I fought hard and now I have everything a guy could ask for. God is number one but this movie is the best and inspirational.

Glory fades but rushmore doesn't seem like it can. I it's a masterful coming of age story teaching us about love loss and being fine without a stright foreward anwser in such a perfect way.
