Right on! Mr. Littlejeans' laugh
sounds funny and he's obviously enjoyed the play. I too love the way that kid say his line about the jellyfish.
I think one of the reasons I like Rushmore beyond the comedic elements is because it protrays a loser/nerd stroyline that's believable and honest. It's not your typical Hollywood movie where the nerd/loser/ugly duckling is some great looking actor who we're supposed to accept as sub standard. This guy is more like a real average person.
