    As chick flicks go, they don't come much trashier or incoherent than this steaming pile. All the vague references to 'The Graduate' are a bit of an insult to the 1967 classic and even "blunt testicular trauma" fails to get a laugh. Shirley MacLaine was a bit of fun, but the bitch...( read more)y, cheating, whiny Aniston sucked all sympathy out of what might have passed for a reasonable romantic comedy. And don't even get me started on the disturbing nature of the plot..... urgghhh!!!

    This is a silly movie. How could Aniston's role could fall into bed with the guy she already knows slept with her mom and grandma? Aniston's speech to her little sister at the end of the movie may be the only redeeming part.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A funny idea, alas, doesn't necessarily make for a funny movie. full review

December 27, 2005
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It fails artistically but also philosophically, in that it rebuts the spirit of the earlier film, while offering nothing attractive in its place. full review

December 27, 2005
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The real weak point is Reiner's listless direction, with too few scenes that almost gel and too many that fall flat. full review

December 22, 2005
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Jesus may love Mrs. Robinson more than she will know, but some filmmakers don't seem to, based on their insistence on reviving her for the pallid and plodding Rumor Has It. full review

December 22, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

This is not a great movie, but it's very watchable and has some good laughs. full review

December 22, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

Buried deep inside this misbegotten comedy is the glimmer of an idea. full review

December 21, 2005
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

A rhythm-less, laugh-less mess that mixes the big-screen Bewitched's post-modern nonsense with shades of Spanking the Monkey's interfamily attractions. full review

    I just watched this today, i've had it forever and never watched it. I really liked it, it was funny and had an interesting story to it. Messed up...oh yeah. I didn't like Kevin Costner in this one, EWWWW!!! I was like "sicko creep"! I love Mark Ruffalo, he is so cute! Shirley Maclaine was hilarious and Jennifer Aniston is always good. Very enjoyable, although very confusing.
