Living in New York City, Sarah (Jennifer Aniston) must make the cross-country trip back to her home state of California for the wedding of her younger sister (Mena Suvari). Once with her family, Sarah learns some interesting things from her grandmother (Shirley MacLaine), including the family's inspirational ties to the famous film "The Graduate." But all this leads to millionaire Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner), and Sarah wants answers -- especially since Burroughs might be her real father.

Critics Consensus

This riff on The Graduate has a solid cast, but is too lightweight to fully register.

And, as Jeff rather drolly notes, she manages to "make this sound like a police investigation", rather than a comedy...

Dont watch this. Weird incestuous twist half way through. Super uncomfortable to watch, can’t believe Jenifer Aniston would act in something like this…

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rumour has it was a slight disappointment. I expected it to be more funny but was slightly weird and the storyline was upsetting.While the ending was happy, in reality it was a mediocre film .

Rumor Has It that this Rob Reiner romcom is wholly contrived without any semblance of humor or genuine sentiment - the rumors are true.
