Rumor Has It is a romantic comedy-drama film released in 2005. The plot is based on the rumors that the 1967 film, The Graduate, was inspired by the real-life events of the family of a young woman named Sarah Huttinger. Sarah is in her 30s and has been with her fiancé, Jeff, for several years. She returns to her hometown in California to attend her younger sister's wedding and meets Beau Burroughs, a handsome man who her grandmother claims was the inspiration behind the character of Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate.
After learning about the rumors and the similarities between the story of her family and The Graduate, Sarah begins to question her own identity and her relationships with the men in her life. She becomes close to Beau and learns that he had a brief affair with her mother many years ago. This revelation leads Sarah to question if Beau is her real father and if her mother's relationship with him was the inspiration for the famous film.
Sarah decides to take a break from her life in Los Angeles and stays in her hometown to explore her family history and identity. During this time, she learns more about her family's past and their relationships with each other. She eventually confronts Beau about her suspicions and discovers the truth about her father. The film ends with Sarah returning to Jeff and realizing the importance of the people in her life who truly love and support her.
