Review: There's really only enough room in my heart for one movie about an understated, funny, misfit kid who wears dorky glasses. That, my friends, is a little film called Rushmore. I suppose that it's possible that the movie Napoleon Dynamite and I might have the occasional affair when Rushmore's out of town or something.

This is a quirky little movie, but it knows it's quirky. Everything in the film is built on this knowledge. A lot of it is funny, but I didn't laugh as much as I expected to laugh. I didn't want to run right back out and see it again. I do recommend it because there's a lot of good stuff here, but Rushmore it's not.
