All the pieces are perfect, including the annoying ones
Added 9/11/2009
I saw a small bit of this on TV where Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner shined, and ordered it on a whim to see the rest.
I cannot understand all the low ratings. There are certainly parts of the movie that are trite and annoying, but that is real life and the movie should get extra credit for reminding you of your crazy annoying relatives, not be penalized.
A clear sequel to The Graduate (40th Anniversary Collector's Edition), one which could have been called "The Graduate: Next Generation," the story line, the script, the world-class actors in low-key supporting roles, the settings, all of this makes this a very fine "background movie" (what I screen when doing tedious but necessary things like printing address labels) and I loved it.
I would definitely be interested in Graduate Part IV, where she gets divorced, comes back to Costner, and they live a life of sheer joy--Hannibal (book version vice Hannibal (Two-Disc Special Edition) DVD version).

Rumor Has It....
Added 8/7/2009
I agree that Jennifer is not a very good actress. When there needs to be softness, she is still harsh, blunt, and to the point. I think the movie, overall, was a funny and cute movie. But Mark Ruffalo (who I usually like) and Jennifer Aniston were #1 not a good match and #2 acted poorly in this film.

Entertaining

Rumor Has It was quite entertaining! Both my wife and I enjoyed it. It starts with an original idea (A man romantically envolved with three generations of women in the same family.) The youngest of these women is not sure who she is and if she is, in fact, her current father's daughter. Although she is engaged to a man who loves her, she is very confused and feels the need to learn the truth and so, goes searching for answers. The story was believable and there were enough twists and turns to keep the viewer's interest. This was a movie which could make you think a bit, make you laugh and even, at the end, bring a tear to your eye as you identify with a person's fruitful search for self-discovery.
Above all, it was entertaining!

Much better than expected

This is far funnier than the typical romance-comedy. Aniston plays her stereotypical female in crisis role. Costner and MacLaine added more laughs. You may know the plot but it's still so funny. I highly enjoyed this flick.

Rumor has It

This movie was ok. Pay attention to the beginning of the movie as this storyline gets you thinking about the Rumor that is started and what is actually true. I would say this is an average movie, nothing really great.
