Calvin (Paul Dano) is a struggling novelist who can't quite find anything he wants to write. Encouraged by his shrink (Elliott Gould) to start creating his dream girl, Calvin's reality is upended when Ruby (screenwriter and Dano's off-screen girlfriend Zoe Kazan) suddenly manifests in his apartment, in love with him and precisely as he's written her. Uplifting, joyfully absurd and also starring Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening and Steve Coogan, Ruby Sparks is a heart-warming comedy about writer's block, fantasy and the unexpected difficulties of getting exactly what you want.
