Lunchtime Film Series at Springfield Public Library

After his debut Bottle Rocket (1996), Anderson made this quirky follow-up. It tells the story of Max Fischer, an eccentric 15-year-old who attends high school at Rushmore Academy. Max (Jason Schwartzman) is a poor student with a love of extracurricular activities. He suddenly falls for Miss Cross (Olivia Williams), a first-grade teacher. However, eccentric millionaire Mr. Blume (Bill Murray) also loves Miss Cross. Various hijinks ensue, forming the backbone of this screwball comedy. 93 minutes. Rated R.
