    College flcik about how rumours can ruin lives.
  • July 14, 2007
    Some college friends deliberately start a false rumour that snowballs out of control, resulting in a classmate being arrested for rape. Decent enough thriller that stretches believability a little come the inevitable twist ending, but not bad.

    Fantastically evil...

    Despite its flaws, an interesting look into the subject of gossip and rumor-mongering.

    Nothing like being betrayed by friends... OK, James Marsden deserved to have something bad happen to him but somehow I didn't get a good feeling about it at the end...

    Una pelicula con intriga y drama buen libreto
  • October 8, 2009
    The great concept of GOSSIP nearly got killed by a weak execution, poor performances and a juvenile, lightweight plot that tries to pass as dense. Nevertheless, it doesn't fail completely. I may be biased, but James Marsden's performance as evil Derrick Webb is quite amazing. Add...( read more) an impressive soundtrack by Graeme Revell and an incredible twist ending, and you almost forget everything this flawed little film did wrong. Almost.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Gossip stays in the game until the bottom of the ninth and then blows it. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

A sense of unreality permeates the movie, which allows for some far-fetched plot turns. Far-fetched is OK. Close-fetched thrillers aren't worth watching. full review

    I just have to say - this movie actually stars reasonably well known actors so how come none of them are listed?!?!?!?
    I mean seriously at LEAST Kate Hudson!
