This movie looked great. It was pretty good and definitely worth seeing - but not great. Acting is solid. The idea is very unique - I was told the actress that plays Ruby is actually the writer of the screenplay. That puts a whole interesting twist on the entire thing. Anyway - good movie - actually a bit dark in parts, but that actually keeps it a little more well rounded and less obvious. Definitely worth the ticket price - especially considering the other junk out right now.

I thought is was about a young man's fantasy. A bit on the shallow side, but good fun.

I read the synopsis and was motivated to see it. While I still think the basic premise was interesting and all of the supporting actors were great, I was disappointed by some flaws in the story and in Calvin's character, and in the distracting acting of Paul Dano. If you're into meta-fiction and the story-within-a-story genre, go see it for the sake of the plot; if not, wait till you can catch it on basic cable.

A very sweet film about the fantasy of being able to control love and the reality of loving someone that requires you to set them free.

Anyone who has had their first brush with adolescence has fantasized about the perfect partner; the one who completes the puzzle, the conundrum that is "you"; conforms to your ideal; meets and exceeds all your expectations; plainly put, the "love of your life."... "Ruby Sparks" is one of the most compelling, enchanting films of the summer. Created by, and starring Zoe Kazan ("Ruby"), a gifted young woman with an enviable imagination, celestial blue eyes. Ruby's ethereal, luminescent, stunning as the sprite who morphs from the pages of novelist "Calvin" (Paul Dano); a prodigy, who has been wandering in a desert of "wordless" uncertainty. Dano's performance is galvanizing and vulnerable, simultaneously... FOUR STARS!!!! ***For full review please visit peneflix (dot) com!!!
