Ruby Sparks is a fun independent movie about a writer who has basically isolated himself after a failed relationship.  His loneliness causes writers block, and it is questionable about whether his career will move forward or he’ll be left to rest on his laurels.  He’s in therapy, and a writing assignment from his therapist sparks the writer’s imagination, and he starts writing about a dream girl.  He’s inspired.  Until he finds that dream girl, living that dream life, in his very real apartment.  Original, whimsical, and thought-provoking.
