To make matters worse, the only women Calvin seems to attract are those interested in him only due to his fame, a point not lost on Calvin's brother, Harry (CHRIS MESSINA), who's married to Susie (TONI TRUCKS). Harry even laments that Calvin can't get women in his dreams to go to bed with him, just one of various matters that the author discusses with his therapist, Dr. Rosenthal (ELLIOT GOULD). The latter eventually convinces Calvin to write just one bad page to get the ball rolling again.
Inspired by another visit by his ideal dream girl, however, Calvin does more than that, and starts cranking out the pages about Ruby Sparks, his latest literary creation. Little does he realize that he's also somehow magically created her in person as a flesh and blood woman (ZOE KAZAN) who sees herself as his girlfriend and is unaware of her unusual genesis.
Calvin initially thinks he's lost his mind, a sentiment shared by Harry, but both not only soon accept that she is indeed real, but also that whatever Calvin types about her comes true, such as suddenly making her speak French. With her unaware of being manipulated, Calvin finds himself content with his girlfriend, even if she wants to meet his hippie style mother, Gertrude (ANNETTE BENING), and her artist boyfriend, Mort (ANTONIO BANDERAS), who live up the coast from Los Angeles.
Determined not to write anything more about Ruby, Calvin starts to have a change of heart as their relationship develops and she soon starts wanting some more personal space. From that point on, Calvin must contend with the ramifications of changes that he makes to her behavior that end up affecting their relationship as a couple.
I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com! Josh Nisbet I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It! Patti Petree I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents. Christine Doherty Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together. Scott Heathe I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!! Patrina Streety
