Gossip

I happened to like this intense twisted movie, despite the poor reviews by some. I thought the plot was original and cleaver. I didn't know that what was going to happen at the end would happen. I'm still trying to figure things out. I liked the characters, especially new comer Lena Heady. I thought they all did an excellent job. I don't feel this film is just another teen flick, it has substance and creativity. I hope people give it a chance because I think it's worth it. I loved it and plan on seeing it again. I give it a B.

Actually, I started watching this movie with my hopes down, ready to be bored to death and my only motive was that Norman Reedus being in it. Its IMDb rating of 5.6 is a HUGE understatement and is possibly preventing lots of people from watching it. The movie is quite interesting from the very beginning, and midway through it you start to feel as if you're in the college that the "rumor" has been spread around. The acting is outstanding and believable though the plot is a bit far-fetched, but it still is one of the best movies I've watched and in my opinion it deserves a nice big 8. If you like surprise endings and thrillers and you're having second thoughts about spending one and a half hours of your life on this movie, forget them and DO IT. Your time will not be wasted.

A vicious rumour is spreading like fire through the university, three journalism students planted the story, hoping to trace how it changes as it burns its path; but what goes around comes around.

With a young and talented cast, including James Marsden, Lena Heady, Norman Reedus and Kate Hudson; Gossip deserves more credit than it seems to have received.

The story is full of twists and is genuinely compelling to watch and easy to relate too; the direction is pretty stylish and achieves the necessary feel for the plot to play out, and the cast all contribute with solid performances.

It's either been overlooked or harshly criticised by far too many people, come on! It's a good thriller. 7/10

My boyfriend and I have been on this wave the last week, just rewatching or watching 90s/early 2000s horrors and thrillers, and this one landed on our list.

It's important going into these movies not expecting today's standards and accepting them for what they are. With that in mind the movies are so enjoyable, and this was no exception.

The film had an interesting and dark enough premise, and althought it is a little all over the place in terms of storytelling and there's very little character delevopment, it's a good romp and kept me guessing. I also highly enjoyed the ending, so I would recommend it for a fun time where you don't need a 2 hour long 8. something rating on IMDB.

Oh, and this is an early 2000 galore fest, which I highly enjoyed.

This a surprisingly interesting and well acted film considering the rather common plot. Three college roommates cynically decide to spread a rumor to see how far it would go and then are surprised and frightened by the results. The plot does have a few nice turns but Marsden's lead isn't developed enough and in the end the writer "sold out" for the safe moralistic ending when he could have added a few more twists to make the film memorable.
