Positive — This is a very good movie about the effects that one little rumour could have on peoples lives. In the movie, a few teens decide to spread a rumour about someone as an experiment to see how much it could spread. The results are awful. This is a good movie, but there are many instances of sexual conversation and a few suggestive scenes. There is no heavy sex, sex is just implied in one scene. Also, a guy tries to come on to this girl at a party, but leaves her alone when he realizes she is drunk. Language is moderate, due to one F-word and one GD. All in all, this is a mature drama that shows the effects of Gossip. Very suspenseful. Will keep you interested. Recommended! My Ratings: [Very Offensive / 5]

Movie Critics
“…a very cruel and often emotionless drama… we need better scripts and subjects written for this audience.”
-Dean Kish, Nzone
“…as dumb as 'Disturbing Behavior' or 'Cruel Intentions,' but with an irritatingly arty style all its own…”
-Film.com
“…a decent, but not spectacular premise, but never quite manages to turn into the enthralling thriller it obviously wishes to be… this “Gossip” really isn’t worth telling others about.”
-Screen It
“…ludicrous trash, but it has style, along with a nasty little sting in its tail…”
-Andrew O’Hehir, Salon
“…more than slightly objectionable…”
-Preview
“…'Gossip,' like its subject, juicy but unbelievable …Raw sexual situations, language…”
- Bob Campbell, Star Ledger, New Jersey
