Not your conventional
boy-meets-girl romantic story, “Ruby Sparks” leads us to Calvin Weir-Fields,
(played by Paul Dano who also appeared in “Little Miss Sunshine,” “There Will
Be Blood”) a literary wunderkind with an acclaimed first novel. But since then, he’s been stricken with a
stubborn case of writer’s block magnified by a dismal love life. In a last-ditch attempt to reignite his
creative spark, Calvin begins to envision a female protagonist in his
mind.
Then one morning she steps off the page and into his life. Suddenly, Ruby (portrayed by Zoe Kazan who is also the film’s writer) is sleeping in Calvin’s bed, cooking in his kitchen, beguiling him in every way, with one mind-boggling twist: he somehow has the power to change her every time he sits at his typewriter. As Calvin tries to juggle this power, he faces a major dilemma as a writer and a boyfriend: what will it take to make this relationship from his imagination work in the real world?
