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

Owes less to any film genre than to TV soap operas offered with far fewer pretensions on any given afternoon.

Gossip is trash, but it's well-written, slickly directed trash.

Thoroughly preposterous on every level.

Ludicrous trash, but it has style.

Hampered by a silly plot and flat script.

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), 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. Budget: $14m
Domestic Box Office: $5m
Worldwide Box Office: $13m 3.5/5
