Downright awful... this movie went from dry to creepy and then to pathetic. Really, don't even bother watching it when it is shown on tv in a year. This movie was downright horrible. Jennifer Aniston's worst performance ever.

A reasonably good film, it held my attention and didn't fundamentally offend me. There were some laugh out loud moments, mainly thanks to Shirley MacLaine. Jennifer Aniston played herself admirably. Just let down by the predictable ending.

Waste of time. Our group's opinions ranged from forgettable to worst movie of the year so far.

The major questions asked by this unsavory, uninspired and mostly unmemorable romcom are: Is Sarah's mother the real-life basis for Elaine in The Graduate, and is her grandmother the real Mrs. Robinson, and if one or both are so, what does that make Sarah? These are hardly the most important questions Rumor Has It... brings up; audience members will more likely be asking themselves some of the following (which the producers should've themselves before greenlighting this thing); Didn't Under the Rainbow, the dreadful Chevy Chase "comedy" about the Munchkins in The Wizard of Oz, prove once and for all that movies whose entire premise depends on the existence of other, classic films basically have no right or reason to exist? Isn't the script's need to place the film's events in 1997 (complete with Bill Clinton references) rather than today an indication of how forced and unworkable this concept is? Don't the writer (or more likely, writers) and director realize that an eleventh-hour slathering of bogus sentimentality makes the movie's offensive undertones (which involve, among other things, possible incest) even more, not less so? Even though Rumor Has It...'s one genuine asset is its likable cast, don't Jennifer Aniston's, Kevin Costner's, Shirley MacLaine's and Mark Ruffalo's recent terrific performances in, respectively, The Good Girl, The Upside of Anger, In Her Shoes and Just Like Heaven indicate that these folks have far, far better things to do with their time? And Finally, does Rumor Has It... prove once and for all that Rob Reiner must have sold his soul to the devil to have made This Is Spinal tap, When Harry Met Sally..., The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men and everything else he did up to and including The American President, at which point the devil immediately came to collect...and if so, can we all take up a collection to buy Reiner's soul back?… Expand

Enjoyable to watch. Anniston, Costner and McLaine are so good that I liked it in spite of the lack of a competent script and the presence of a non-actor (Mark Rufalo) as a main character. Could have been a really smart movie, but it feels like the studio "script doctors" have been at it again. About 500 times better fare than "The Family Stone."

Here is a movie I was looking forward to seeing. It had an iteresting idea. What Happened? Well, I am still trying to figure it out. It's not that the movie was boring. It had its good moments and its bad moments. It was slow, but watchable. However, Would I recomend goingto see this at the big Screen......? No! This one is more of a DVD stay At home NIght Rental.

Cute movie... good entertainment.

I'll summarize how awfl this movie is by simply saying that my wife (a big Aniston fan) apologized to me for having to sit through it and is going to let me pick the next two movies in return.

Sucked. No point of the movie. What is the point of knowing that one man slept with a grand mother, mother and grand daugther? doesn't teach any thing. Very slow and boring

My husband and I wasted our gift certificate on this one...what a bore. It was a lame vehicle for Jennifer Aniston's hair more than her ability to act. The premise of the story was so weak that not even the actors seemed convinced. Awful.

Boring and pointless movie. I only gave it a total of 2; 1 for Shirley McLaine's hilarious performance and 1 for Jennifer Aniston just being so darn nice to look at!

"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to lobotomize me."

I've never seen The Graduate but my instincts tell me that this movie is a lackluster spin-off and should in no way represent the original.

girls will enjoy this movie. I thought it was very funny. Me and my girl friend went and saw it without guys and we had a blast! I would definitely see it again.

A real dud. They took a decent premise and turned into a sitcom that lasted an hour and a half.

Sucked!

Crappy movie with a hideous plotline.

A decent film wrecked by horrible pacing. What's up, Marty DeBergi? There's a fine line between stupid and clever, and you're on the wrong side of it with this one. You wasted fine performances by Shirley & Kevin, but I don't honestly know if this one was ever destined for a green score with that sreenplay anyway.

Stupid to say the least. Lame plot to start with followed by shallow acting. Dissapointed in Aniston and Costner more times than not is overrated. Did all the actors, director, etc. really want to do this movie?? Didn't seem like it to me.

Enjoyed every minute of it. Perfectly cast throughout with good performances, especially from Shirley Maclaine, Marc Ruffalo, Kevin Costner, and Richard Jenkins.

a movie with alot charm thanks to Aniston and Costner... Rob Riner delivers a nice romantic comedy.

Never lives up to the clever premise. The characters aren't real and the laughs are scarce.
