Dove Review

“Rumor Has It” is a cute flick. It sure didn’t have an incredible amount of substance but the cameos by such film favorites as Kathy Bates in this extension of the classic film “The Graduate” made enduring some of the more predictable circumstances worthwhile. I would have to agree with the many critics who cited Aniston as playing the same type of part as usual (cute, funny, girl-next-door) but if it works, and it certainly does in this film, why not go with it? Although there were a few laugh-out-loud scenes involving her lovingly dysfunctional family, the very foundation of this movie prevents it from receiving a family-friendly seal.
