Movies: Producers and Rumor Has It
The new movie version of the Broadway Musical The Producers was expectedly very good and fun, with me of course particularly liking the addition of the wonderful Uma. ***1/2
On the other hand, I was surprised at how much I liked Rumor Has It and actually found the plot to be quite reasonable. The idea is that this is a movie about the family that The Graduate was based on one generation later, but this fact never came out so even the Jennifer Anniston main character, who is the granddaughter of the Mrs. Robinson character, doesn't know it. When she finds out, she not surprisingly wants to find out what really happened and meets up with Kevin Costner, who plays the Dustin Hoffman character. Both Anniston and Costner do a great job with their roles and I just really enjoyed the movie. Big props to the writers for taking what seems an outrageous premise and making it quite believable, as basically every action the characters take is a reasonable one. ****
