The main characters are three deeply unlovable media students who think that they are so very intellectual and sophisticated when of course they are just whiny, spolit brats. At least that part is true enough to life. Their supposedly exciting experiemnt is contrived beyond belief and the plot twists like a discarded hosepipe.

But this isn't what makes it so hateful, its the archness and pretension that saturates every shot as though all concerned routinely got tegether to congratualte themselves on how dmaned clever they all were. It is a film that, like its self obsessed and narcissistic protagnonists, is deeply in love with it self. It should take a long hard look in the mirror.

Gossip takes a rather promising idea - how far a rumour will go once it starts and the consequences it can cause - and ends up making a rather dull and, in places downright ludicrious movie. Here we have 3 media students, who only ever seem to go to one lecture given by a lecturer who looks scarily like Tom Jones, who decide to start a rumour about a young rich girl (Kate Hudson). Before you know it, the rumour is spiralling out of control and allegations of rape and murder are flying around the campus. Sadly the story is so dull and the characters so unlikable that you really couldn't care what happened to them. The obligatory twist is added at the end, only it's so ludicrious that you find yourself wondering how on earth it could actually be managable, and why the characters would actually go to the lengths they went to just to get the result.

I was basically forced to sit down and watch this film by a friend who thought it was great, I didn't know what to expect! - I thought it was a great thought provoking film, I can't understand that why it was not a block buster.....

Even though this film hasn't had many reviews, it is one of the best films of its time. Simply because it makes you think! Its all about a group of three law students who spread a nasty romour! A romour which might be harmless at the time, becomes almost deadly and unstopable. What makes this film more catchy, is the person who the romour is based on, actually begins to believe it!! With its twisty ending and brilliant soundtrack, its a film that is worth watching!
