Critic Reviews

  • Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half.

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    All style and no substance.

  • Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution

    Gossip isn't really worth talking about.

  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

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

  • Loren King, Boston Globe

    With its hunks and dolls masquerading as characters, its contrived and sleazy plot twists and tawdry sex, Gossip owes less to any film genre than to TV soap operas.

    This slick looking but vacuous teen film is populated by rendy, self-obsessed youth and obviously fancied itself as another <i>Cruel Intentions</i>.

  • Candy R


    College flcik about how rumours can ruin lives.

  • xGary X


    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.
