	Author	Review
United States	Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter	"Aniston gets marooned here: Her comic instincts are muted by all the identity angst, yet there isn't sufficient dramatic material into which she can sink her teeth."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"Rumor Has It... begins with an intriguing premise...but it devolves into a bland romance spiced with too little comedy"	NEU
United States	Nathan Rabin AV Club	"Like the film itself, Ruffalo and Aniston exacerbate a bad, unfeasible idea with clumsy execution"	NEG
United States	Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	"The movie has that fatal triptych that is becoming Reiner's romantic-comedy signature: drippy sentiment, zany scenes that trivialize the characters and a horror of adventure"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Ebert & Roeper	"It's really funny, true stuff."	POS
United States	Kevin Crust Los Angeles Times	"A muddled, melodramatic, sort-of remake of "The Graduate."	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"The film's few high points are outweighed and outnumbered by sequences that don't work and cast choices that should have been re-thought."	NEG
