Has anyone seen it?
I just finished watching it, rented to be honest, and at first, I loved the premise of a created person right off the page. After all, that is what writing is about, if you are into the fiction genre.
It had a pretty good sense of humor and the laughs are pretty easy to fall into.
Then it just took a dark turn. I won't go into detail for those who haven't seen it, but lets just say, it got weird.
All in all, I did enjoy it.
The blurb: From the directors of Little Miss Sunshine comes an engaging and charming romantic comedy starring Paul Dano and writer-actress Zoe Kazan. Struggling with writer's block and a lackluster love life, once-famous novelist Calvin (Dano) creates a beautiful fictitious character named Ruby (Kazan), who inspires him. But not only does this bring his work to life -- it also brings Ruby to life -- literally! Face-to-face with an actual relationship with his once-virtual girlfriend, Calvin must now decide whether to pen this love story or let it write itself. Also starring Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas and Elliott Gould, Ruby Sparks is an inspired coming of age story that proves true love can be magical.
