RUMOR HAS IT
SYNOPSIS
Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston) is in a
fog. She's finally agreed to marry her
boyfriend Jeff (Mark Ruffalo), but isn't at all
sure that marriage is what she really wants.
Now she's on her way home to attend her
sister's wedding, which means spending a
lot of time with the tennis-obsessed
Pasadena family that she's never felt quite a
part of. It isn't until Sarah stumbles into a
well-kept family secret that she starts to
question her roots and sets off in search of
the man who may have the answers she's
looking for (Kevin Costner).

BRENDA
Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston), recently engaged to Jeff Daly (Mark Ruffalo) is having second
thoughts, comes home to Pasadena for the wedding of her baby sister Annie (Mena Suvari). While home,
she learns her family was the basis for the book The Graduate. Feeling she is different from the rest of
the family, Sarah sets out to find Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner),the inspiration for The Graduate's
Benjamin Braddock, to see if he might be her real father. Beau informs Sarah that he is sterile and can't
be her father. Beau is rich and attractive and Sarah finds him as charming as her mother and
grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) and ends up sleeping with him. Now she has to come home and face the
consequences. Costner and Richard Jenkins (Earl Huttinger) give fine performances but it is MacLaine
that steals the show.
