Gossip (2000 R)

   The movie stars James Marsden (X-Men, Death at a Funeral), Lena Headey (Twice Apon aYesterday, Terminator: Sara Conner Cronacles tv), Joshua Jackson (Lone Star State of Mind, The Saftey of Objects), Kate Hudson (200 Cigerates, Desert Blue), Sharon Lawerance (The Only Thrill, Nearing Grace), Edward James Aloms (Splinter, Stand and Deliver).
   The plot of the movie is three college students start a rumor about another student with the intention to write a report for a class.  The rumor grows and morphs with bad results. 
   The movie could be a partner movie with Easy A.  They both deal with the down side rumors and gossip.  This is a darker morive then Easy A, not intended for young kids.  I think this is a good movie for social commentary.  I think the plot of the movie could also be viewed as bullying.  The climax of the movie may be a little too out there but was just maybe on this side of disbeleif. 
    I rated the movie as a B.  If you areee in the mood for a double feature stream Easy A also.  It is a good commentary of the over sexed part of society.  And no matter what what you say about yourself or others can cause damage that can have real effects on peoples lives.
