Editorial Review:
Jennifer Aniston portrays Sarah Huttinger, whose return home with her fiance convinces her that the sedate, proper, country-club lifestyle of her family isn't for her, and that maybe the Huttinger family isn't even hers. Join Sarah as she uncovers secrets that suggest the Huttingers are neither sedate nor proper - and as Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine and Mark Ruffalo join the fun. The story is rumor. The laughs are real!
Description of Rumor Has It... (Widescreen Edition):
Old pro Shirley MacLaine steals her every scene in Rumor Has It..., a very curiously conceived comedy directed by Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally..., The Princess Bride). Sarah (Jennifer Aniston, The Good Girl) arrives at her sister's wedding with her fiance Jeff (Mark Ruffalo, 13 Going on 30). She's already feeling anxiety-ridden about her impending marriage when she gleans from some odd hints from her grandmother Katherine (MacLaine, The Apartment, Terms of Endearment) that her family was the basis for the movie The Graduate. Quicker that you can say "Mrs. Robinson" she slips away from Jeff to investigate, suspecting that the guy Dustin Hoffman's character was based on--Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner, Tin Cup)--might be her actual father...well, from there the plot takes a few twists, but this is not a movie that succeeds based on its story (which never really becomes persuasive). Instead, Rumor Has It... rests on the surprisingly complex and mature emotional interactions between the characters (particularly given that it's a movie about someone refusing to make choices in her life). Aniston won't win any awards for this, but she certainly gives her role more depth than a typical romantic comedy heroine; Costner and Ruffalo are both in fine form; and MacLaine appears just often enough to inject some delightfully prickly personality into a movie that often teeters on the edge of too much niceness. Also featuring Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under) and Mena Suvari (American Beauty). --Bret Fetzer
Rumor Has It... (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Aniston wrecks it again. What little there was. 
2008-10-03 - With Jennifer Aniston, it always seems you know what's going to happen in a film. There's never a mystery of surprise in any movie I've seen her in. Terrible acting. Kevin Costner and Shirley MacLaine's parts weren't any funnier. I'll save you time here. THIS REVIEW NOT HELPFUL.
Aniston Is Great As Usual 
2008-07-13 - This is a movie where Jennifer shows all the attributes of a top actress. Whether you like the script or not, (and it is quite unusual), Jennifer makes you believe that she is real. She can be emotional, funny, sad and just plain lovable.
The plot has her tracing a link between her family and the family portrayed in the famous movie, "The Graduate", rumored to be a real California family.
She is a much underrated actress and this picture can be watched more than once with gusto.
Rumor Has It 
2008-03-30 - The Graduate is a classic cult film, and since this movie was based on it, I was hoping for the best, but not expecting much. I was never more wrong! Jennifer Aniston was refreshing, but I had dry heaves when she slept with a man her mother and grandmother did especially when she thought at first he could be her father. That is just not entertaining in any situation. Kevin Costner was good in his role, but the ewwww factor was too much. Mark Ruffalo gave probably his best performance to date. The most surprising performance was from Shirley MacLaine, and she was absolutely fabulous. She held her own in every scene. It didn't matter who she shared screen time with, she stole the limelight.
Ummm...
2008-03-25 - Do you know the old joke about deflecting the pain from one part of your body by taking, say, a hammer to your toes? No matter how many times I swung the hammer I could not deflect the pain that was this movie.
Really, people? An average of three stars? This movie was horrible. Rent it before you buy it. And don't in-store rent it; on-line rent it, since it is money already spent. Don't spend an extra cent to watch this film.
Set fire to your money instead of buying this. You'll thank me later.
im a bloke, but i love it.....?
2008-03-07 - ok , i have not watched the HD Disc but seen this one in the Cinema..... Funny because i was bored and there was nothing running in the Theaters so i Watched this one.....? Didn t know its about the Graduate aka Dustin Hoffmann.....Right from the beginning i was into it since im a Huge Fan of the Original The Graduate.... Shirley MacLAINE was very very Funny/Jennifer and Costner beliveable and i would say not really/only a CHICKS Movie.....If you like The Graduate from the 60is than get this as a kinda Sequel Whatever happened after the Graduate.....? I give it five Stars because i was really Surprised and into this while Watching....It took me 100 minutes away from the reality of today......Im really looking forward of Watching it again on HD when my time is right.....
