Rumor Has It (Movie Review)

This movie is a perfect example of a great idea that goes absolutely nowhere. Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner , Mark Ruffalo (with one of the most annoying voices on the planet) and Shirley MacLaine star in this comedy with ZERO laughs.

The basic premise is that Sarah, portrayed by our friend Jennifer suspects that her family was the inspiration for the movie The Graduate. You know…that movie with Mrs. Robinson...she seduces a much younger guy…anyway, I’m sure you’ve heard the song a few million times. Sarah sets out to prove that her dad is not really her dad, that her real father is actually a guy who slept with her mother and grandmother (not at the same time). Excited yet? Me neither. All sorts of boring stuff follows and then mercifully the movie ends.

At one point in the movie one of the characters says “you can’t spend all your life chasing after ghosts.” This deep conversation really made me think, “Wow, this movie would be a lot better if there actually were ghosts in it.” Then another character says she needs a camera for her honeymoon in case she sees some monkeys. Again, I started to think, “This movie would be so much better if there were monkeys in it.”

If that doesn’t say it all, this probably does…during the movie, I actually spent about ten minutes of my time staring off into space visualizing the movie King Kong in my head. It was awesome!!

This movie could have been quite funny…but it’s not. Jennifer Aniston is pretty hot, but even she can not save this film. Trust me… it is horrible. Save your money and your time.
