Critic Reviews

Mick LaSalle

Has a high-gloss, heightened style reminiscent of that of the film's executive producer, Joel Schumacher. Read full review

Monica Eng

Suffers from an overwhelming sense of teen movie facility and "Murder She Wrote" neatness.

Owen Gleiberman

Mostly hot air. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Thoroughly preposterous on every level. Read full review

Lisa Alspector

The message must have got lost somewhere in the plot twists of this would-be topical thriller about the power of hearsay on a college campus. Read full review

Stephen Holden

If you're looking for a 90-minute post-teen soap opera with pretty people, ludicrous hairpin turns and a whopper of an ending, the movie will keep you mindlessly off balance. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

A glossy, shallow thriller where not a single scene rings true.

I saw this when it was initially released when I was 20. I thought it was pretty wild. Revisiting it all these years later it definitely more subdued but still effective and with a great cast that includes Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), James Marsden (Hairspray), Lena Headey (300), JoshuaI saw this when it was initially released when I was 20. I thought it was pretty wild. Revisiting it all these years later it definitely more subdued but still effective and with a great cast that includes Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), James Marsden (Hairspray), Lena Headey (300), Joshua Jackson ( Urban Legend) and Norman Reedus (Walking Dead) amongst others. Basically it's about a group of friends who make up a rumor that ends up up having dire consequences as it transforms. They do it as sort of an experiment but one of them may have more insidious intentions. The movie is intriguing and engaging but slightly lackluster. In the end it doesn't seem to be about much but it still makes for decent entertainment.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gossip has not a single redeeming quality. The story is strange and not one actor adds quality to this movie. The movie revolves around a rumour that spins out of control. A girl's reputation is irreparably damaged by the gossip, and one man has to be punished for spreading the rumour. In the end he gets his comeuppance which is probably the only good thing about this movie. Avoid this movie it is bland and ultra weak that is totally purposeless.… Expand
