Just so...so bad

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I have seen this movie a handful of times and every time I look forward to it. It's worth every minute! Great cast and awesome story line. There were funny parts but this movie made me think.....you can create a character from you're imagination but you can try to change them...which also works in reality. I wonder how many writers can say the fell in love with their character and was sad to have to let them go or end the story. Highly recommend this movie Ruby Sparks.

A lot of people are describing Ruby Sparks as a romantic comedy, but I'd be more inclined to call it an indictment of people who want their relationships to be as light and fluffy as a romantic comedy. The movie follows a blocked writer who creates a character that somehow becomes real. Yet, as another character points out, she's not real. She is essentially a somewhat muted version of the manic pixie trope, but the movie gets away with it because it's more a movie about the sort of guy who creates manic pixies.Much of the movie is fluffy and funny, but as it progresses a darkness seeps in that makes me resist the romantic comedy label. To me the movie is more a critique than a romance, although I feel the script fails to follow it's own logic through to the end, offering an ending that is emotionally satisfying but feels intellectual dishonest.Still, it's quirky and funny and original, with good performances.

This film is a great riff on Pygmalion with great comic highlights as well as darker questions about controlling a relationship. Well acted, lots of fun, and original. In a world where intelligent scripts are in short supply, this one definitely makes the grade.What would you do if you could create your dream mate, to determine if that person was happy or sad, what they did and what they felt? What would that control feel like? What would you do if the dream mate started growing and having her own feelings, moving away from you in the process? How can you let go of something you have created? There's plenty to think about in this movie, yet it is sweet, light and amusing. Kudos to the team that brought it forward.

Why not 10? Cinematography was great, direction was good and acting was very good. Scripting and direction could be better. In an imaginary "remake" I'd cut the brother's part and kept more mystery-like the making of the girl. In a Shyamalan fashion, revealing the truth with a twist in the end. Besides I prefer that he meets a different girl in the end: the actual ending is too cheesy, IMHO.Anyway it was a fine movie and the last scenes when he writes and makes her behave as he likes are a really good and quite creepy idea.8/10
