Rumor Has It... movie

Jennifer Aniston plays a woman who learns that her family was the inspiration for the book and film "The Graduate" -- and that she just might be the offspring of the well-documented event.

Rumor Has It... (also known as Rumour Has It... in the UK, Ireland, Canada and Australia) is a 2005 comedy film. It stars Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner and is directed by Rob Reiner.

It was released in North America on December 25 2005.PlotThe entire movie is told, presumably from the present, as a flashback to events that happened in 1997. It is also, as flashed on the screen at the beginning of the movie, "Based on a true rumor". In the backstory to this movie, Sarahs grandmother, Katharine Richelieu (played by Shirley MacLaine), had an affair with the much younger Beau Burroughs (played by Kevin Costner), forming the inspiration for the affair in The Graduate between Benjamin Braddock and Mrs. Robinson (whose first name, incidentally, was never mentioned in that movie).However, the backstory to this movie and The Graduate diverge -- while in The Graduate, Benjamin and Elaine Robinson eventually marry, in this movies backstory, Jocelyn Richelieu (played by Jennifer Bini Taylor in flashbacks) chooses instead to marry Earl Huttinger (played by Richard Jenkins) after a brief affair with Beau. By the time of the movie, however, Jocelyn is dead (she died when Sarah was nine.)Anistons character, Sarah Huttinger, travelled from New York City, where she is an obituary and wedding announcement writer, to Pasadena for the wedding of her sister, Annie (played by Mena Suvari). She was accompanied by her fiancé, Jeff Daly (played by Mark Ruffalo).
