This would be 2 stars except for the fact that Shirley MacLaine and Kathy Bates helped make it a 3-star movie. The script was pretty poor, but their performances helped to keep me laughing.- Zee Movie Freak
I'm not a prude, and I really enjoy a movie with some edginess. I've always been a free speech advocate (I own a large percentage of the books on the Banned Book list), colorful language does not bother me, and although I get squeamish when there is a lot of blood, I think "the gunshot in car" scene in Pulp Fiction is one of the great moments in cinema. But I really believe that, although writers have the right to write it and directors have the right to film it, rewarding characters for infidelity sucks. If Jennifer Aniston's character in Rumor has It wants sleep around after she has gotten engaged, there should be a price to pay for that. I don't think I'm going to spoil the plot for anyone by saying that, instead, she gets rewarded. Beyond the mild moral outrage, Rumor has It just doesn't amount to much. Despite the mostly strong performances by all the players (with the notable exception of one particularly shrill, group hysteria scene), I was unable to develop much sympathy for any of the characters. Ms. Aniston's character, Sarah, is too cold and unavailable, Costner's character, Beau, is just a little slimy, no matter what kind of polish the writers try to put on his character flaws, Mark Ruffalo plays Sarah's fiancé, Jeff, and despite a couple of very real moments (Ruffalo really is a terrific, underrated actor), his character comes across as overly boring. Shirley MacLaine plays more or less the same character she's been playing for the past twenty years, and frankly, I'm getting kind of bored with it. I could go on, but really, what's the point?Rumor Has It is basically a throwaway, wait for it to be on Lifetime, movie.
