VHS Movie Reviews of Ruby in Paradise [VHS]
Movie Review: It's so lame, that this film is out of PRINT!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ruby in Paradise is a quiet , honest film that is a portrait of a young poor,abused, low self -esteemed, rural tennesee woman.With her parents gone now, she realizes that she has to do something to not end up like many of her friends,...beat-up,barefoot,and pregnant.
In the beginning of the film.. you can see she is not just leaving home..she is ESCAPING..She remembers a onetime happy vacation she had as a child in Panama City Florida.and thats where she heads off to.
The film captures the essence of what its like to leave a horrible condition and find the courage to start fresh , even when you dont have enough money or support ..you just do it!!..The film is arthousey-,Ashley Judd is so beautiful in the film ,, I dont think she's top her acting skills yet since she did 'Ruby..'. 'Ruby..' is the kind of movie that you'll want to watch after you come home from a god-awful - ear deafening-gun blasting-car smash-ups, CGI [computer-generated images]matinee with your tweens...Just kick back, put on you fuzzy socks, have an iced tea..some really good popcorn and just sink in and take a trip to Panama City, Fla.
Movie Review: Inside the mind of an independent woman
Summary: 5 Stars
I have LOVED this movie since I first saw it back in '93. I have worn out my VHS tape of it and have desperately wanted to see it released on DVD. What gives? I'd like to see a great American release of this film, preferably with some special features about the inspiration for the film and the obvious low-budget (which makes it seem so much more realistic) filming of it. Movie Review: Why the heck isn't this on DVD yet?
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this film in the theatre back in '93 or so, and walked out of the darkness thinking that Judd had a great career ahead of her. Now over ten years later, it seems that R-in-P is destined to be her best film ever. I'd buy this movie in a heartbeat were it available on DVD. What's the problem? No distributor?Movie Review: I want to buy this DVD too!
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this movie, but couldn't find it selling anywhere.
Please release this DVD!
Movie Review: Release the DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great film. Ashley Judd's finest performance. Why can't I buy it on DVD?
Summary of Ruby in Paradise [VHS]
An uncommon gem of a film, this story of a young woman finding herself is a marvelous sleeper. Ashley Judd (Kiss the Girls) makes her film debut as Ruby, who moves to a Florida beach town and tries as best she can to earn a living. She begins working in a clothing store and starts dating men, but after some hard choices realizes she must first figure out who she is and what she wants out of life before she settles for something less than she deserves. Writer-director Victor Nunez (Ulee's Gold) tells his tale as an amiable slice of life story without forcing any of the emotion. And Judd gives an astounding performance as a young woman whose quiet inner strength allows her to grow and gain confidence in the person she wants to be. Avoiding all the possible clich?s and presenting a positive, realistic, and touching character portrait, Ruby in Paradise is a rare and worthwhile discovery. --Robert LaneDown on Their Luck Video
