Calvin 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, 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.

‘Ruby Sparks” is a package wrapped in multiple ribbons. It’s the first movie Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris have directed since “Little Miss Sunshine.” It’s the first screenplay by actress Zoe Kazan. It pairs Kazan with Paul Dano, her real-life romantic partner. Granted, it’s not exactly the first retelling of the Pygmalion story. This go-round it’s a writer (Dano) who has his imaginary creation (Kazan) become human. But the film is usually so fresh and winning it feels in no way derivative.
