An intriguing drama that uses for its premise the potentially damaging concept of spreading rumors. On a college campus, three friends decide to do a group assignment on the effects of GOSSIP. They choose an unsuspecting couple, who are notorious for being sexually abstinent. Subtly, word leaks out that the boyfriend raped his girlfriend one drunken night after she had passed out.

Predictable at every turn, glossy but stagy, and full of unengaging, underdeveloped characters, Gossip too is 'all just words'.

Though it is reasonably effective as a morality tale on the dangers of spreading a rumor, it is even more pertinent to the perils of burying a worthy screenplay under layers of big-budget gloss.

A taut second half in which the plot turns back on itself in some surprising twists makes up for the lethargic first half.

Shallow Grave by way of Cruel Intentions, a breezy, entertaining mind-twister in which things spiral out of control for lots of good-looking kids and various alliances and narrative trap doors keep the audience enjoyably guessing as to who's

Insufferable (and interminable) in-joke of a roundelay.

It has a little more style than substance, but nevertheless Gossip is head-and-shoulders above many other college-age movies.

A modern day morality play about the harm that can come to those who are the targets of this kind of rancor.

The performances by this Young Hollywood set are nothing short of ordinary, and cameos from vets Olmos and Bogosian are downright embarrassing.
