Review of Ruby Sparks (2012) by David G — 21 Oct 2012
A struggling novelist writing his 2nd novel dreams up the perfect girl, writes about her, then she comes to life. It's every straight man's fantasy...write what the woman will do & she does it without question.
But, Ruby Sparks goes much deeper than that as Calvin really does love this invention (well played by Zoe Kazan). The films takes a starkly, dark turn in the last bit, but mostly played for laughs through out.
I enjoyed Antonio Banderas & Annette Bening as Dano's parents. I would've enjoyed more of their story & less pining & whining from the lead. But Kazan shines as the perfect girlfriend and makes Ruby Sparks a smart, indie rom-com.
