Have you watched the 2005 movie Rumor Has It? It’s a favorite for many movie lovers. On the one hand, it’s a story about a family that shows its chaotic, romantic, and funny sides. It is also a surprisingly non-typical one that fools you just when you think you’ve grasped the concept. The film is an odd combination of humor, love, and unexpected plot twists. So, why do people continue seeing the movie 20 years after its initial release?

The PlotThe CastWhy Rumor Has It Still RocksDigging Deeper into the FilmRumor Has It in Pop CultureMy Two Cents on Rumor Has It

The Plot

The plot of the film is simple and not very complicated. A young woman, Sarah Huttinger, played by Jennifer Aniston, learns an important secret about her family when she meets her sister’s husband for the first time. She goes to her sister’s wedding in California. There, she hears a rumor that is hard to believe: her family is the real story of “The Graduate.” This event makes her research the topic. Sarah finds out that her grandmother Katharine, played by Shirley MacLaine, could have been Benjamin Braddock’s lover from the well-known 1967 movie. However, to make things more complicated, on her way to find out more, the main character has to clear things up in her relationship with her boyfriend Jeff, played by Mark Ruffalo, and the mysterious Beau Burroughs, who claims to be Braddock’s son. The movie is mainly about discovering one’s true self and making choices.

The Cast

The leading actors of Rumor Has It are Jennifer Aniston, who plays Sarah Huttinger, the naïve young woman; Shirley MacLaine, who is her grandmother Katharine and the keeper of all the family secrets; Kevin Costner, who is the mysterious Beau; and Mark Ruffalo, playing Sarah’s boyfriend. The supporting cast of Christopher McDonald and Mena Suvari adds up to create an ensemble of people that POP.

Why Rumor Has It Still Rocks

There may be different reasons why people still watch Rumor Has It. However, it is obvious that they are attracted to this particular cast of actors. Undoubtedly, the movie did well at the box office despite the mixed reviews by critics. It’s also considered another solid addition to the “unpopular among critics but well-liked by the audience” category. If it still rocks so hard, it means that the film is good. It probably has this special charm and catches the viewers’ attention.

Moreover, Rumor Has It is frequently discussed in romantic comedies. Its very idea makes us think of stories about one’s family and its identity. It’s probably the reason for its popularity. Are you one of those who never miss a chance to see Jennifer Aniston one more time?

Digging Deeper into the Film

Rumor Has It is an outstanding film about a family’s secrets and self-discovery. Sarah learns about her family and The Graduate and tries to rediscover her true self. Family rumors can change the way people see themselves, and most viewers can relate to that. Rumor Has It is also about belonging. Sarah starts reconsidering her dreams and relationships. We can do the same.

Rumor Has It is also a love story. Sarah is torn between Jeff and Beau. A love triangle often makes relationships even more interesting. It is all about the tough choices we have to make. Do we follow our hearts? Do we follow the expectations of our relatives?

The movie is about searching for meaning and happiness. Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel can be heard as the end titles roll. It describes the feeling that Sarah has throughout the movie. She is not satisfied with her life. She is looking for something she cannot even describe. She realizes that such things certainly exist. However, they are an illusion. People will never be happy.

Nonetheless, there is something they can do about it. They are to learn to accept the messiness of their lives. They should do their best to face the hidden secret and move on. If they manage to do that, all of them will realize they are not alone.

Rumor Has It in Pop Culture

One can hear about the movie on many TV shows and in the music. Friends, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory are only a few examples. The song Mrs. Robinson establishes a strong link to The Graduate. On the other hand, plenty of people are still talking about Rumor Has It online.

My Two Cents on Rumor Has It

In my opinion, Rumor Has It is a rather humorous and romantic story. However, it is also meaningful as it teaches people about their families. I believe Rumor Has It is a must-see movie.

To sum up, the movie resonates with us because it is about family, identity, and belonging. Its heart and soul reach us. This is a film that is more than just a movie. It is our favorite, and we love to watch it as it makes us feel good and think big.
