My personal rating: I would give **** to the Graduate and *** to Rumor has it. I really liked the Graduate. Ben makes the movie, he is really awkard and it makes the movie funny. He also says a lot of funny quotes. I like Mrs. Robinson, she has a funny personality. The movie is not too long like the others we watched before and the story is more entraitaining. I like the Graduate better and I think it is because of Dustin Hoffman he is really funny. Rumor has it is more confusing, at the beginning it is hard to understand who is who and the link with the Graduate.

My rating scale:
*The movie was really bad
**The movie was bad
***The movie was ok
****The movie was good
*****The movie was really good
