I believe it's never clear why max can't have Ms. Cross' heart. And I believe the relationship at odds Rich vs Poor is not explored enough.
His skill is playwriting and make believe. He uses it for his own selfish reasons. The last "Act" has him getting everyone together for his vietnam play.
His play brings the wealthy of rushmore and the "poor" from the public school together.
Yet the story doesn't focus on this.
If he truly wants ms. cross, he needs to win her heart and satisfying her desire.
I believe that if perhaps Ms. Cross had argued that he needs to use his skill to connect the two communities, that the final scene would have been truly satisfying. Perhaps there could be another character who doesn't want to associate with those "poor kids" and the poor kids who don't want to associate with those "rich kids". and again with the different adults at odds against each other.
Also, Max brings Ms. Cross and Herman together for the play but it doesnt seem that he has truly given up on trying to get her. It's not clear. Which leaves me with a feeling that nothing in Max has changed or grown or even taken a step backwards. Which makes the whole thing a plot and not a story.
