| Movie Description With the romantic comedy RUMOR HAS IT, director Rob Reiner (WHEN HARRY MET SALLY) attempts the tricky task of creating a film based on an already celebrated classic, 1967's THE GRADUATE. Starring Dustin Hoffman and based on a novel by Charlie Webb, the original film revolved around the love triangle between a recent college-graduate, his girlfriend, and her famously seductive mother. Here, Reiner casts a chain-smoking Shirley MacLaine as the supposed real-life inspiration for Mrs. Robinson, and Jennifer Aniston as her granddaughter. Set for the most part within the gossipy community of Pasadena, California, the film follows Sarah Huttinger (Aniston) and her fiancé (Mark Ruffalo) as they travel home for her perky sister's (Mena Suvari) wedding. Having nothing in common with her family, Sarah is intrigued upon learning that she may actually be the secret love child of her deceased mother and Beau Borroughs (Kevin Costner), the man whose affairs with both Sarah's mother and grandmother supposedly inspired Charlie Webb, a classmate and friend of Beau, to write THE GRADUATE. From here, Sarah seeks out Beau, interested in him as a father-like figure and possibly more. Aniston brings a Rachel-like (FRIENDS) comic vibe to her character, frequently expressing her neuroses by talking to herself out loud in a sitcom-ish style. Costner is plenty capable in his role, but even with Beau's riches and charm, viewers may find it hard to understand why a young woman would embark on a romance with the same man who bedded her mother and grandmother. Reiner's script veers away from the classic romantic comedy formula by keeping Ruffalo's character at the sidelines. Rather, RUMOR HAS IT focuses on one woman's journey towards adulthood, self-realization, and acceptance of her origins via a path that while strange and potentially incestuous, seems to be family tradition.

Top Reviews  Rumor has It 0 of 5 people found this review helpful. I was a little reluctant to buy another movie. Some of my movies that I have bought were not new at all they were copied. For the price they should have been new. I did have a good experience with the seller of Rumor has It. Review ID: 10000000001726636 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews  Good Title, Great movie.Review created: 08/24/08 by: All the character are really good in this movie. Of course I love looking at Kevin Cosner in any of his movies. Shirley McClain was hilarious. I think they could have picked a hotter actor for Jennifer Anniston to hook up with, but he was still good. Review ID: 10000000008438038 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Not Bad At All !Review created: 06/29/07 by: 4 of 4 people found this review helpful. Basically rented it to view with my wife, in lieu of an action movie... This one jumped out at me because Kevin Costner and Kathy Bates were in it. Jennifer Anniston was all right in this movie also, and the plotline was good, the story timing was moving right along, and I ended up enjoying this movie! The movie also had a moral to it, and that self-realization is important... Reccomended for viewing with your loved one! Review ID: 10000000003866162 Was this review helpful?
