Sarah Huttinger's return home with her fiance convinces her that the sedate, proper, country-club lifestyle of her family isn't for her – and that maybe the Huttinger family isn't even hers – as she uncovers secrets that suggest the Huttingers are neither sedate nor proper.
Quite the bore. Weird, too.
It seems they came up with a mildly interesting connection to <em>'The Graduate'</em> (haven't yet read or watched, fwiw) but forgot to add any further details. Even at just 1hr 30mins, this drags a bit. I just don't think this has enough meat on the bones to merit existing. Jennifer Aniston is likeable enough to stop events grinding to a halt, at least.
Kevin Costner, Mark Ruffalo, Richard Jenkins and Shirley MacLaine appear alongside Aniston to make the cast list look good. Honestly, those onscreen are this flick's only redeeming factor, unfortunately. The rest of <em>'Rumor Has It…'</em> is either bland or bizarre, if not both really.
