Forum Overview :: Peter Molyneux's The Movies :: I don't see that at all.

[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Choson"]A horrible attempt to rip off Wes Anderson without understanding what made Rushmore great.[/quote] Honestly, I don't see any relationship between Napolean Dynamite and Rushmore. If anything, it's more like Bottle Rocket, since all the characters are crazy idiots. And, like in Bottle Rocket, all the comedy comes from the funny-talking. I would say it has more in common with a Coen Bros. movie than a Wes Anderson movie, though, because the Coens not only have that "we're making an unrealistically-acted movie on purpose" (which is shared by both Dynamite and Rushmore), they also base their movies on the simple concept of: when people talk funny, that's pretty funny. People talk funny in Napolean Dynamite. HILARIOUS. Rushmore aims to do a little more than that. (I think Rushmore is a great movie. Napolean Dynamite is just funny.)[/quote]
