Product Description
Rushmore is the second work from the team of Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson following the success of their debut screenplay and film Bottle Rocket. It is a refreshingly offbeat comedy about young Max Fish, a precocious pupil at a conservative private school. He is a live wire, a teenager full of madcap entrepreneurial schemes that usuallyin failure. His personal life becomes similarly complicated when he falls for his elegant teacher, Rosemary Cross, and finds himself vying for her favor with Herman Blume-who is portrayed in the film by Bill Murray-the wealthy father of two of his classmates. Max ultimately proves himself a figure of some tenacity as he negotiates the minefield of love, desire, and adolescence.At the Toronto Film Festival, Screen International called Rushmore "a real charmer filled with surprise twists and emotions that avoid sentimentality . . . A little gem."

A master class in writing humor and heart.
One of my all time favorite films. The screenplay does a great job of highlighting what exactly made this film so great. For you writers out there, observe the subtle humor and motions toward emotion in the simplest of phrases. An instant classic, and great companion to the Criterion Collection DVD.

If not anything, the humor.
I identified with the characters in the movie.I know one person wrote an intelligent review saying that the movie seemed too surreal, but in my opinion, though I admit the situation had a surreal feel to it, the characters were extremely realistic.I loved Margaret Yang and the way she was so caught up in success that she lied for a project that was almost bought by NASA.

If you don't like anything else, you have to at least admit that Rushmore is one of the funniest things you have seen or read.

A must for Max Fischer fans
Happily, this is an original script/shooting script, not the final filmed version so there are plenty of scenes and lines included here that did not appear in the movie.After reading I have a new appreciation for thesubtle, nearly flawless directing and acting in this amazing film.Buy it!

Watch the Movie First
I dare use the word "quirky," because that usually means "esoteric and/or pedantic." But "Rushmore" manages to be quirky while still being entertaining and heartful. There is realemotionalimpact in this film, as sharp and hurtful as first love lost.Yet, it remains a brilliant comedy with enough "moments" to makerepeated viewings worthwhile. The book only serves as a fond memory of thefilm, much as the soundtrack. See the movie first, then buy the book tocherish the experience again.

Wonderful printed version of movie for ages.
Rushmore, both the script and the movie, are instant classics.The buzz generated is still modest compared to the actual impact.Very fulfilling read.Sic transit gloria. ... Read more

Product Description
This is the screenplay for the acclaimed film, directed by Wes Anderson. There were three extraordinary children in the Tenenbaum family; Chas Tenenbaum (Ben Stiller) was a financial expert and started buying real estate in his early teens; Margot Tenenbaum (Gwyneth Paltrow) was an acclaimed playwright and won a Pulitzer Prize in the 9th grade; Richie Tenenbaum (Luke Wilson) was a champion tennis player ranked 2nd in the world by the age 17. They were brilliant. They were famous. They were unlucky enough to be the children of a man named Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman). Now for the first time in 25 years, they're all living together under the same roof. After having largely gone their separate ways they're looking to mend fences—and themselves in the process.

Royal Tenenbaums
This is a great book to have if you are a fan of Wes Anderson or of the film.

Must have for Wes Anderson fans.
My favorite thing about this screenplay is being able to read scenes that did not end up in the movie or the deleted scenes. I would recommend this for any Royal Tenebaums or Wes Anderson fan.

A Superb and Unique Screenplay
"The Royal Tenenbaums" is really a great and clever film.Although it's not really classified as a solid comedy, it had me laughing aloud from start to finish.Then again, I like that weird kind of humor.To me, it was just a great film that took chances.It wasn't out to win a popularity contest.Wes Anderson makes films the way he envisions them and the way he wants them to be.

The thing that stands out the most in "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the brilliant script that was written by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson.The dialogue witty and realistic, and each character stands out and leaves an impression on us.

The story is about Royal Tenenbaum and his dysfunctional family.Him and his wife separated many years ago, but the divorce was never final.His wife, Etheline, kept the house and raised the children by herself.They each reached to fame in some way or another, but not without problems lurking about.After many years have passed, Royal finds out that Etheline has been asked to take somebody's hand in marriage.Royal comes up with a scheme on how to get himself back into the picture, bringing forth a crazy and unexpected family reunion like you have never seen.

With only set directions and dialogue, this reads more like a play.There are no camera angels, which is why it reads like a script for a play.You'll appreciate it more if you've seen the movie, but reading it is just as enriching and enjoyable to me.You get to relive your favorite moments and exchanges through words.

"The Royal Tenenbaums" by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson is a magnificent screenplay and can be enjoyed many times over.With great dialogue exchanges, characters, and out-of-control and unpredictable situations, this is a screenplay worth reading over and over again.A work of art, if you ask me.

Favorite line from the movie: "Anybody feel like grabbing a couple of burgers and hitting the cemetery?" - Royal Tenenbaum

This is not a novel...
It is the screenplay of the movie, the same one that should have won the Oscar this year.For people who haven't seen the movie, reading the screenplay first may not be such a great idea.I know this movie went over a lot of people's heads, and I'm not positive one can fully appreciate the story from just reading it.However, I definately recommend reading it after seeing the movie, there is so much great dialogue that is easily missed and a lot of subtle humor that is more obvious written on the page.This was one of the best movies of 2001 and the screenplay is a great way to appreciate it again while waiting for the dvd.

SIMPLY BREATHTAKING
I thought that the Royal Tenebaums was one of the best films I have seen this year, after what I thought had been a disasterous year of film making,it was a breath of fresh air, the only other two films I feel are on a level with it are Amelie and The Man who wasn't there!
From the very opening I wanted to go and see the film, with it's bright colours and quirky story line, the very advertisment had me drooling with delight.
I had mixed reviews from some of my friends, some thought it was boring, others hilarious, after going to see it with my brother and sister it was a unanimous decision, this film was AMAZING!
The plot itself was so simple, yet the characters made the film what it was, I absolutely loved Richie and I thought that Pagoda was brilliant, going to see this film has to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. ... Read more
