How wonderful it would be to bring your own soul mate to life. Calvin (Paul Dano) manages this, even if only by chance. The California native is a writer who has already enjoyed great success by producing a cult novel, but now he has writer’s block. After a vivid dream, he writes the story of Ruby – and suddenly his protagonist (Zoe Kazan) moves from his imagination to his kitchen and makes him breakfast. And she’s not just in Calvin’s head – everyone can see Ruby. But when their unusual relationship follows its normal course and starts getting complicated, Calvin makes a fatal mistake...

The script and direction are lively, clever and funny, the chemistry between the main characters is spot on, with high caliber co-stars like Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas and Steve Coogan. But Ruby Sparks doesn’t fulfill the intellectual and magical possibilities of its premise, losing a bit of its allure by its dramatic but unfortunately not deep finale.
