7/10
A lighthearted comedy with a few good laughs

Warning: Spoilers
I just do not think that the several harsh comments here are fair...I mean, what did you expect from this movie? I think some people just took this movie more seriously than they should have, and expected more from it, just because it sounded like a follow-up to the Hollywood classic "The Graduate"? Well, don't expect much....and you will have fun!!! You do not have to take this movie seriously, it is just a lighthearted movie (comedy/drama) with a few good laughs(e.g. grandma Katherine's toast to the newlyweds, the family phone call with Sarah, grandma, sister, father involved)

"Rumor Has It" is not the movie of the year....Or it is not a great movie, but it is definitely watchable, and it is really fun at times. I agree that that the storyline is so predictable, but most of the movies in Hollywood are predictable one way or the other, so what is the big deal? I do not think Jennifer Aniston is a very good actress, yet she is okay in this movie; Kevin Costner and Shirley McLaine are really good---I think Kevin Costner is making a good comeback, he was even better in the Upside of Anger earlier this year--- and their confrontation in front of the house is fun!
