Rumor has it - review


Jennifer Aniston is Sarah Huttinger, a successful writer who on a trip back to her hometown with her fiancé Jeff to attend her sister’s wedding discovers her family could have been the inspiration for the film ‘The Graduate’.

With her grandma confirming the rumour Sarah sets off to find the man her mother ran off to a week before her wedding and who Sarah fears could be her natural father, but as she discovers more about her mother’s wedding nerves she begins to realise she might not be ready for marriage herself.

But as Sarah gets to know Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner) she finds herself falling for him – after discovering he’s not her dad I hasten to add! – and becomes the 3rd woman in her family to fall for his charms before realising that her trip away has reaffirmed her feelings for Jeff and makes her determined to win him back.

Co-starring Shirley MacLaine & Mark Ruffalo I found this movie, based on a real life rumour, enjoyable, but there were a few things which continue to niggle me – e.g the timings don’t add up in relation to the years & ages, but after getting over that I would watch it again.
