Product reviews...
Calvin is a writer who has hit his writers block. He starts to dream of a beautiful young woman and she becomes his muse. He begins to write a tale of Ruby Sparks only to one day find her, downstairs in his house, very, very real.
Calvin is a bit odd. He has no friends, really only spends time with his brother and has no woman in his life at the current time. He's an awkward kind of guy who wants love, but just doesn't seem to get along well with too many people, and most women he's met only want one night with him so they get to boast about sleeping with a genius author.
Ruby is this outgoing woman, who doesn't always know where she's going, and she is a delightful character. The acting feels raw at times and so feels very very real. Paul and Zoe have great chemistry on screen and act their parts superbly. This was such a fun film to watch. It's full of laughs, love and drama, everything you need in a good movie, but it's also a bit of an oddball, and pulls it off so very very well.
I would highly recommend this film if you want a romance movie that's a little bit odd and a little bit different. Well worth the couple of hours viewing time.
Random listing from 'Movies'...
Ten years after simian flu wiped out much of the world's homo sapiens, genetically enhanced chimpanzee Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his ever-growing band of followers have established a thriving colony just outside San Francisco in Muir Woods.
Meanwhile, a small band of human survivors emerges, which forces Caesar - as leader - to grapple with the dual challenge of protecting his people and re-establishing a relationship with the remaining human population - the latter being Caesar's secret wish.
