DIR: Davis Guggenheim CAST: Lena Heady, James Marsden, Joshua Jackson, Edward James Olmos

When a trio of media students are given an assignment on the the title subject, they decide to spread a fake rumour. This rumour involves Jackson shagging a perennial virgin. When this leads to a rape charge, we are subjected to various young actors arguing about morality.

Apart from Heady's charismatic performance, this is an uninvolving dud. I'm sure there's a good film to be made on this subject, but this ain't it.
