Review – Citizen Ruth

This is one of those movies that features a ensemble cast of fairly big-name celebrities that had to have been doing it out of love for the project. How else could you ever make a low budget, black comedy about abortion? Though I suppose it’s a little harder on the anti-abortion crowd, it’s none too respectful of the pro-choice folks, either. Ruth, the hapless, knocked-up, paint-huffing ingenue comes off as the least unsympathetic character, sort of a heroine by default. But there’s just something about this film; it’s just so mean that you’ve got to love it. Oh, and funny too. Worth seeing
