It doesn't sound like she's blaming anyone. The film sounded like a good
idea and ended up being really lame. It's very demoralizing to go into a
project with high hopes and it stinks, especially when things are bad in
your life. And truthfully, maybe it's time some of these writers
actually wrote decent scripts.

Aniston: ''Rumor' was the Worst Time of My Life'
Jennifer Aniston has slammed her critically mauled movie "Rumor Has It" as
"the worst experience of my life," insisting personal problems and a poor
script left her "unmotivated" and miserable on set.

I thought actors read scripts before they signed on.

I agree. She probably just wanted TO WORK. I'm really sick of hearing
people come down on this woman. I really don't get the backlash at all.

Her first foray into acting since her break-up with husband Brad Pitt, the
film only grossed $43 million at the box office and left Aniston wishing she
had never signed up.
The movie pits the former "Friends" star as a woman who discovers her family
inspired "The Graduate," Charles Webb's hit novel that subsequently became a
film classic.
But despite being intrigued by the concept, Aniston was left bitterly
disappointed with the end result and poor press.
She says, "The worst experience of my life, the worst experience, the worst
film.
"It sounded like a great idea, an interesting backdrop for a romantic
comedy. But it was never fleshed out, never fully realized.
"And for me personally, I was going through a horrible time.
"I wasn't at my best as an actor. I was unmotivated by it. Why talk about
it? We can let that little train go by."
