Leave your thoughts about Rumor Has It....
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkContrived to the max and surprisingly unfunny, Rumor Has It is this year's theatrical Christmas turkey. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderWhile there are high points here and there, in general the film moves ploddingly, with individual scenes that don't 'build,' and an overall story that doesn't, either. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldT. M. Griffin's script is imaginative and clever. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchJen, poor Jen! Her unfriendly role requires her to act irritable and irritating for most of the footage. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerFor awhile, the movie gives off an unsettling vibe, as Sarah sort of flirts with a guy who may be her dad. This is eventually explained, but the film takes one more trip to Ickville before it ends. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealWatching and laughing at the film, you'd never know it was such a troubled production. Here's to you, Mr. Reiner. |
| Modamag.comSusan GrangerAn original and outrageously funny social satire that blurs illusion with reality, it's helium-light fun for the holiday season. |
| About.comRebecca MurrayThis would have been a fairly fun movie had the focus been on the film's most entertaining character, played by the inimitable Shirley MacLaine, rather than Jennifer Aniston and the rest of the gang. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatMark KeizerEven as a holiday throwaway, this James L. Brooks-style blend of comedy and character is lumpy and artificial, failing to extract enough truth from its sordid situations. |
| Detroit Free PressJohn MonaghanHand much of the credit to director Rob Reiner, who consistently hits the right comic notes. |
