Did you hear the one about....? In Rob Reiner's new movie, Rumor Has It, Jennifer Aniston, a half baked actress if ever I saw one, decides to cheat on gorgeous fiancee Mark Ruffalo and then beg his forgiveness because she didn't know who she was. Give me a break!!!! If Mark Ruffalo is your fiancee you don't cheat on him with anyone; even if it is Kevin Costner. The premise is this: Aniston plays Sarah Huttinger whose family is supposedly the basis of the book and film The Graduate. There's Mrs. Robinson, Shirley MacLaine; Benjamin Braddock, Kevin Costner playing another BB (Beau Burroughs) and Aniston who may or may not be the offspring of her mother's affair with Beau. If you've seen the movie The Graduate then this will be mildly entertaining; if you haven't then it will be just mild. The film has some funny moments (2 or 3) and a few bright spots. MacLaine is wonderful and hits another one out of the park. Ruffalo is really an underrated actor but Aniston is what brings this film down. If another actress had been cast the film could have been better but there's still the fact that Ruffalo is the fiancee, no cheating.
