Calvin (Dano) is a young novelist who achieved phenomenal success early in his career but is now struggling with his writing - as well as his romantic life. Finally, he makes a breakthrough and creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. When Calvin finds Ruby (Kazan), in the flesh, sitting on his couch about a week later, he is completely flabbergasted that his words have turned into a living, breathing person. -- (C) Fox Searchlight

Just saw the Blu-ray....loved it! What a wonderful film. I thought the ending was perfect, it reminded me of 500 Days of Summer, when he meets Autumn at the end and the whole thing starts over again. I think I loved it just as much as Midnight in Paris. After watching the film I discovered on the extras that Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan are lovers in real life, it's just lovely all-round, they were great together. Grumpy old Alonzo didn't enjoy this film, yeah, that makes sense.
honestly, most people recommend to watch midnight in paris but i dont quite see why it is good..
kindly enlighten me about this
thanks
That was not an accident. Ruby is his ex-girlfriend the way he wanted her to be rather than the way she really was (a real and flawed person.)
I'm definitely with Ben and Christy on this one. Got to see it a few days ago and just loved it. The trailer really underplays how dark this movie gets towards the end. I was pleasantly surprised where they took it.
Yeah it actually makes him a good critc cause he makes up his own mind no matter what anybody else thinks.
Alonso does not has to like every movie all the other critics like. If he finds the movie cheesy and fake, well it is his opinion, it does not make him a bad critique. He is paid for his opinion, not about promoting the movie.
alguien que sepa de un Link para descargarla gratis?
I get your points alonzo but i think that was all done on purpose to show how their relationship couldn’t work and the expectations vs actual reality
I really want to watch this movie.
"She" wrote it? Who? Kazan?
yep
Alonzo is wrong. It's not shoving the cuteness down our throats. It's a solid Twilight Zone episode. And we do need the scene with the ex-girlfriend to show how Ruby was deliberately made to be the antithesis of her, which reveals his own insecurities.
Yeah, that was really weird. They didn't even bother to say that he hadn't seen the movies. They just let him sit there with almost nothing to say, which (if you weren't aware of the fact that sometimes one of them sits in on reviews without having seen the movie) made it seem like maybe they were mad at him or he was painfully shy.
Can you guys review Beasts of the Southern Wild? It looks really great but I could see it turning out bad.
wait i didnt really get it, what is the ending then ?
Yes.
Wow I'm really surprised the main actress was the writer too and a very young writer by the way
Yep.
I agree with the girlfriend confrontation scene. I think they just threw that in to buy time for Ruby and the smarmy British guy to flirt
fucking scary when she cant leave the house and he writes a lot of things ... god i whanted to watch that part again but its too scary like 20 paranormal's in one place the problem with it, it is that lasted for more then 3 minute :S
If Alonzo didn't like it then it was Shit. He has no understanding that tastes are by definition personal
I agree with the lady (Sorry, don’t recall her name as I
write this), thought the movie was good, but nothing special. Did they ever
explain how or why Calvin has the ability to literally create another human?
The only thing I didn’t like was towards the end where he is writing right in
front of Ruby, basically abusing his “ability”. Like making her act like a dog
--- thought that scene was kind of cruel and didn’t really make sense why
Calvin’s character would do that, other than maybe it’s him coming to terms
with himself that Ruby was not real.
bigb860 I think that scene proves that she wasn't real
yeah it was hard to watch but i think you nailed the reason
"Her job, as a movie critic, is to be more incisive in her appraisal of films than the average moviegoer." dude you just made my case! it is exactly NOT her job to over hype her own expectations and then pass on an emotional overreaction to her own shortcomings as "professional critique". That is what your buddies do. Movie reviews by definition are not personal opinion, but are supposed to be somewhat objective, by the exact standards you rightfully point out not every moviegoer possesses.
For weeks, Battleship was his favorite new movie.
This reminds of the creepypasta April 12th 09 story
Sounds like a good date movie.
i demand a duel to the death to determine who was first
no review of Timothy Green
also not in Meek's Cutoff.
they are referring to rotten tomatoes
I've never heard of this movie, before now that is.
Such a great movie
I love this movie so much 😍
Tomatoeland is in reference to the website rottentomatoes where professional movie critics post reviews movies
Damn majority of the comments are about the a couple of critic, and not about the movie.
wonderful movie! dont know why the other guy didn't like it or hated it that much
I couldn't love this movie more. Goddamn Alonso couldn't be more wrong about a movie, AGAIN!
What did she do?
Well you could have said m night shamalayn was a genius after the sixth sense and said he didn't deserve a 5 rating too. Giving a director the benefit of the doubt is downright silly. And good, I'm glad you liked the movie and you have that opinion. So why does it matter what they thought of it?
I liked it.
It would depend on the type of person you are, and Paul Dano has been with her for five years so...
sounds like a great premise but i couldn't get past the first 10 minutes
The guy in the middle is sort of a dolt. Hypercritical, like he had a personal grudge or secretly wants but can't have Zoe Kazan. What have you done? The movie was pretty darned good (the ending could have been a bit stronger, but still good).
brigham2250 i doubt if he wants Zoe Kazan since he is gay ;)
Correction: He was gay... until he saw Zoe.
totally. He is like a little boy that tries to make the adults take him seriously. He IS the one who made his point in the first few seconds and then continued trying to repeat it for the rest of the video even though we already got what he wanted to say.
beeasts of the sooouuthern wiiild
I'm with Alonso on this one.
Not in There Will Be Blood...
The question for me was how could Calvin mess this up so badly if she was authored by him? I liked that he set her free eventually, but was frustrated that he was so bad at writing her character at times. His writing of her lacked nuance under pressure, considering he was supposed to be a wunderkind of some kind. Maybe that was supposed to be the point; how untenable and impossible our dreams are if we stick to them rigidly. Still, I liked the movie a lot. And the end might have been done before, but that doesn't matter, it was done well here. I didn't think "oh this again". It felt right.
This movie concept sounds a lot like the story of Pygmalion.
It was inspired by the myth :)
So Christy isn’t allowed to have a different opinion than what is the popular opinion of TDKR? Her job, as a movie critic, is to be more incisive in her appraisal of films than the average moviegoer. So the fact that she has a different opinion of TDKR than most fan boys doesn't disqualify her for her job. In fact, it is what makes her perfect for the job. The only reason that TDKR is getting a high review from fan boys is because they WANT the film to be great, not because the film is great.
Christy why are you so pretty?
Wow, they have a disparity of 5 points. That's one of the biggest ever.
You realize that scores are based on the genre. Justin Bieber and the Dark Knight are not even comparable because of the genres. You automatically assume that if the score is higher the movie is better, which is far from the case. Ruby Sparks was based on the merits of a rom com, while the DKR was based on the merits of a drama and the previous batman movies.
Calvin is an idiot! he treated Ruby like a piece of shit just like he did to Layla, at the end when he meets the "real" Ruby the film only perpetuates Calvin's sick behavior, falls in love in a second for the most stupid reason, only to become a huge asshole, that guy should've ended up in a mental institution. Other than that, cool movie :)
Alonso is spot on. This movie completely crams its message down your throat. The scene where his ex points out all his flaws is just brutal.
'See this movie if you have a soul' - ?? Is that a jab against Alonso? Ben is ridiculous.
lool .. dude her name is zoe kazan :)
Alonso ended up spending his childhood in a Caribbean prison after Ben murdered Alonso's parents.
haha, dude, your the best! ever hear of the word typo?! scratch the l and then think about if your still the smartest guy in the room...
Eh, not necessarily. I feel that this one is just really not the type of thing he likes.
I WOUD LOVE IT IF I COULD WRITE UP A GIRL AND HAVE HER APPEAR
There are times that whimsy in movies just gets on my nerves. I look at it on the Zoey Deschenel scale--this sounds like it might be annoying.
Mhrrrrrr....
No, you are demonstrating a very limited undersdtanding of "pulling a stunt." It is used the way MajorGloryMan used it all the time, especially by parents objecting to, for example, their kid sneaking out to a party. Obviously, that kid does not want a response to that action, but it would be very common for a parent to say, "After that stunt you pulled last night, I ought to ground you for the rest of your life." Your question reflects a misunderstanding of a phrase and nothing else.
crap at 1.58 seconds i forwarded to my next watch later video, i suggest you do too, this movie sucks old sweat, from old balls.
U mad!
It becomes a stunt when you deliberately give a faux final score that is sure to provoke a vitriolic reaction because said score neither holds up to your track record on other summer blockbusters nor on the moderate reasoning during the video that led up to an extreme score. And then when you receive the exact reaction you set out for in the first place you bitch about it on video, call "commentors" assholes (literally) and also censor the comment section. I call that a stunt, how about you?
I'm sorry, but you have failed the English test. One cannot use "recluse" as a verb.
If you say a person "pulled a stunt," it means that they did something stupid. This is a common idiom of the English language. Jesus, am I the only native English speaker on here? 99% of the arguments on here stem from communication breakdowns.
Alonso is a hater for the sake of it.
Wow, that's a nice attempt at a save, but I'm not buying it. Was it yet another typo when you chose to use "your" instead of "you're" in that last sentence? By the way, it's not that hard to be the smartest guy in the room when you are surrounded by idiots.
Does she have a chronic farting disorder?
that dude always gets cast as some pencil neck writer
This movie has a lot of gingers.
Hmmm.. because the Dark Knight was full of plotholes, was way too long, and had too many useless characters? Get over it. Not every movie you like is flawless.
OMG! Someone didn't like the new Batman movie--how dare they even show their face.
You fanboys need to get a grip. Stunt? What stunt--she didn't like the movie and said so--how is that a stunt?
Just put together Weird Science and EVERY Woody Allen film and stuff it with pamphleteer and unbearable feminist ideas and indie music.
An anxious infantile dude with the tolerance level the size of a teaspoon should never pretend to be a film critic. Take your popcorn and go watch your action movies, let the grown-ups talk.
Alonso always annoys me for some reason
