Amazon.co.uk Review
IRumour Has It/I brings together several people whose film career could usefully use a jolt. Kevin Costner, the excellent and pretty much unseen IThe Upside Of Anger/I aside, is long in need of a hit. Director Rob Reiner is some distance away from the heights of his big successes such as IWhen Harry Met Sally/I and IA Few Good Men/I. And the calibre of Jennifer Aniston?s movie CV has her still mainly regarded as Rachel from IFriends/I. P Sadly, IRumour Has It/I does none of them any favours. It follows Aniston?s quest to dig into her family history, believing as she does that her mother and grandmother inspired the book of IThe Graduate/I. It?s a fun premise, yet the film does little with it. The script is lightweight, the humour is thin on the ground, and only good performances from Costner and the scene-stealing Shirley Maclaine lift it in any way. P As for Rob Reiner, he?s very much a director for hire here. He?s considerably far off his best work, and while IRumour Has It/I isn?t, ultimately, a poor film, it is an entirely unessential and sparse one. A waste of all the talents concerned, each of whom is easily capable of bettering this.--ISimon Brew/I

1 out of 5 stars Nothing like the blurb   November 5, 2008
From the back of the box i was expecting a bridget jones type of movie with emphasis on the tarts and vicars scene but i was sadly disappointed and felt like i had been ripped off with my purchase. br /The plot was pathetic and i was amazed that such good actors would stoop to such low scripts.


3 out of 5 stars pleasant film   October 15, 2008
I'm going through a Jennifer Aniston phase at the moment and have never actually seen this film so I thought why not! This is a very sweet and funny film where Aniston plays a woman who hears a rumour about her own conception and decides to hunt down her mother's 'other lover'. Very funny, not too much thought has to go into watching this and its genuinely touching.


3 out of 5 stars Should have been better   September 22, 2008
I thought the premise of the film was a great idea: the story of a woman who discovers that the story of The Graduate was true - and it was her family who were the Robinsons...br /br /But the film never really clicks into gear. Shirley MacLaine is great as the feisty grandmother, but Kevin Costner simply plods through it all. But the biggest mistake was Jennifer Aniston. Yes, she's very easy on the eye; but all she does is 'happy-pouty' or 'sad-pouty' - and that's about the limit of her emotional range. Quite simply she isn't a very good actress. And this film needed a really good female lead to pull it up to the mark. br /br /If you like romantic comedies, this fills a wet Sunday afternoon when you have nothing better to do. Otherwise, don't bother.br /

I was expecting a comedy - but was sadly disappointed. I can't believe that someone actually sat down to write the script to this film. My dog could have done better - and he doesn't even have opposable thumbs!br /

Having watched Rumour has it - I find myself at odds with the majority of reviews...........The film, albeit light and frothy, is easy on the eye and combines a refreshing humour with the dead pan lunacy of the plot...The cast are relaxed and the zany thread running through the film are just good escapist fun. Kostner and Mclaine steal the picture with their excellent timing and delivery of the script.....A criticsm? Yes. An overblown sequence of shouting and domestic mayhem when the cast come together in Pasadena should have been cut.........It spoils an otherwise cool and stylish presentation.br /br /David Turner (Ealing London UK)
