I wish I saw this one in the theaters. It happens way too often that I miss the good stuff in the theater, and catch it on tape, and sort of slap my forehead in frustration. Rushmore wasn't hilarious, but it really pulls you in, makes you really care about the characters. The best part was that Bill Murray's character wasn't the classic jerky rich-guy type - he lived and breathed and had a soul. Not like the stuffy business professor that was Sally Kellerman's beau in Back to School. Thank goodness the film had Max Fisher's persistence and spunk to counterbalance what is really a sad story of unrequited romance. Loved the ending, too. Don't be put off by the naysayers... watch this film.

Always liked this one. Well written and acted, with excellent aerial action sequences. It's a shame this was Warren Oate's last role - he was magnificent. Other reviewers made a valid point about this film presaging the use of military hardware against civilians. We already use airplanes to catch speeders on the ground - doesn't the aviation fuel cost more than the amount of revenue taken in through summonses?

Typical glossed-over TV biopic saved by fine lead performance, and gung-ho spirit. The fellow who played the adult Ventura did an outstanding job. Supporting cast was fine, too.
