Rumor Has It...- a movie review

Okay, it's a bit of a stretch to base a movie on a possible sequel to a possible real life connection to a hit movie of a previous generation, but I happen to think that is the charm of Rumor Has It.

Suffering from the belief that she isn't her father's daughter (and how many of us have secretly harbored the thought that we are really adopted because no one in our family really understands us?) Jennifer Aniston's character easily falls for the idea that her family may have been the inspiration for the movie "The Graduate". "The Graduate" was such a classic in breaking all sorts of Hollywood taboos that even people who haven't seen it, know that it's all about a man being seduced by his girlfriend's mother, making him one confused kid. Well, if Aniston's character's mother is that girlfriend and her grandmother that mother, then she has a right to be one confused kid as well. It doesn't help when she finds the perfect candidate for who could be her real father.

Certainly a chick flick with lots of relationship explorations, heartbreaks, and disappointments, Rumor Has It is still fun for keeping some suspense while allowing (almost) everyone to finally redeem themselves.
