Interesting Premise, Top Director & A Great Cast, But It Misses The Mark
22 September 2016
Rumour Has It (2005)

KC followed up his brilliant supporting role in The Upside Of Anger, with another supporting role in this Rob Reiner comedy.

Plot In A Paragraph: Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston) learns that her family was the inspiration for the book and film The Graduate.

Rumour Has It is not a good movie, it's a watchable one, but it's not good. It had an interesting premise, a top director and a good cast, but for one reason or another it misses.

Jennifer Aniston plays Jennifer Aniston, Mark Ruffalo, who I had noticed in a few other movies before this, shows promise for bigger and better things, Menu Suvari bounces a lot, Kathy Bates pops up briefly but Shirley MacLaine is the one who brings life to the movie. For his part KC at least looks like he is having fun. Though snogging Jennifer Aniston probably wasn't the worst day he ever had on a movie set.

I'm not sure how a movie directed by Rob Reiner, starring, Jennifer Aniston, KC, an up and coming Mark Ruffalo, Shirley MacLain, Mean Suvari, Kathy Bates Missed the mark, but it just doesn't work for me. Don't get me wrong, I can watch it if it's on, but it's not one I take off the shelf too often, if ever.
