TV: Rumor Has It

I just watched Rumor Has It. This is a really funny movie. Jennifer Aniston plays Sarah Huttinger. Her mother's mother, Katharine Richelieu is played by Shirley MacLaine. Her fiance, Jeff Daly, is played by Mark Ruffalo. Kevin Costner plays Beau Burroughs. Kathy Bates plays Aunt Mitsy, who is just a good friend of Sarah's mom. Sarah's mom died when she was 9. Sarah comes home for her sister's wedding. At the wedding, she finds out that her mom ran off for a few days right before her wedding. Jeff wonders if she ever did the math and realized that her mom and dad's anniversary was less than 9 months before she was born. So then she asks her mother's mother (who hates to be called "grandma") if her mom had had a fling while she was in Cabo.  Sarah decides that maybe Aunt Mitsy can give her some info. She finds out that aside from her dad, the only person her mother ever liked was Beau Burroughs. Then Aunt Mitsy shows her Beau's picture in the yearbook and she also sees the picture of another guy, Charles Webb. She knows that name sounds familiar. Aunt Mitsy says he was the celebrity of their class because he wrote a book that became a movie and she starts describing the movie and all of a sudden she and Sarah simultaneouly realize that the book and movie are about Sarah's mother and grandmother. So, Sarah goes in search of Beau Burroughs to see if maybe he is her dad. The whole movie is really funny. Well worth watching!
