Leading Ladies: December 2005
 |
Rumor Has It...Stars: Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley MacLaine, Mark Ruffalo It features a killer cast, an A-list director and an interesting story line -- a woman finds out that her mother and grandmother may be the inspiration for The Graduate. So why is it that, according to the Leading Ladies, the movie turned out to be so... so? USA Today's Claudia Puig says, "Aniston's performance seems phoned in. And as the object of intense, scruples-be-damned lust for three generation of women, Costner is underwhelming, too dull and stiff to pull off the Lothario role." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Eleanor Ringel Gillespie says, "You know how you wish The Godfather: Part III didn't exist -- how it's a taint on the first two Godfather movies? It's the same with Rumor Has It..., a crass attempt to cash in on the legend of The Graduate." And the Village Voice's Laura Sinagra says, "Rumor had it this was gonna be a stinker, and it is." Female consensus: Listen to the rumors and avoid Rumor
