Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The idea. The reasonable performances. The cruelty and the structure pf gossip. And, sure, the fall. As good points for a film who has the teenagers as basic target. Without be a great film, its idea working. In decent manner. The only sins - at the level of details.

Stylish thriller surrounding three college friends and roommates who deliberately start a false rumour for a class project on gossip and how fast it spreads. Their rumour quickly takes on a life of its own, mutating into a tale of rape and resulting in the arrest of a classmate and potential murder.This wasn't a great movie but it wasn't as bad as I expected either considering I'd never heard of it before. Interesting if (believable) plot and a decent amount of mystery/suspense. It is also kinda predictable though including the twist ending.What makes this the most fun is the amount of (now) familiar faces involved and I'll admit I only watched it because I saw Norman Reedus' name attached. (Gah, he is super good looking here) but we also get James Marsden, Lena Headley, Joshua Jackson, Kate Hudson and several other supporting roles. 6/26/14

This movie is totally awesome. I rented it expecting nothing but a teenager thriller like "Urban Legend" and it eventually revealed itself as an excellent film.The acting is very good, Derrick Webb has such a villain vibe that I thought his character really killed Naomi. The directing is well done, along with a tense and entertaining atmosphere. The story is quite original with an unpredictable progression. The ending is absolutely unexpected, I don't remember the last film that had such great twist in the end. I just don't understand how "Gossip" is so unknown on IMDb and low rated, but I surely recommend this to everyone.

I finally saw this film last night (23 Jul 2006) after it somehow fell off my radar over the past six years. It starts off well enough, though away from any sort of reality. I kept getting distracted by questions, such as, How does the artist afford all of his snazzy equipment, electronics and supplies when he can't even pay rent? Why is smart Jones having sex with the X-Man when she knows his insert-and-discard history -- especially when she's living under his roof? Why is a club's bathroom next to a bedroom, with just a latch-handle door between them? Did the Dawson's Creek guy really go and leave the club with his girlfriend passed out on the bed? Wasn't she mad about THAT? And then it gets around to ending. Woo-hoo! I was already writhing on my bed, overwhelmed by the utter absurdity, but then it went RIGHT over the top. What was already implausible was made doubly so. I still can't untangle the inconsistencies of this film. If the ending is to be believed (snicker), then what about that big, bad investigation? Such as when the female investigator tells Jones how she's not such an a-hole, etc. That scene logically fits in HOW? And that last dialog exchange is such a howler! THOSE were the best lines that were decided upon? Wimpy and eye-roll-inducing. I was surprised that Paul Haggis didn't direct this film. "Gossip is bad. It can hurt people, and sometimes the gossip can be turned against its source and hurt the source, too -- and might even land him or her in PRISON." No rubber bras were worn during the making of this film.
