Popcorn and Inspiration: 'Ruby Sparks': 'Pygmalion' By Way of Writer's Block

R | 1h 44min | Drama, Comedy, Romance, Fantasy | 25 July 2012 (USA)
I recall while exiting the preview screening for this movie over a decade ago, I overheard a comment from a viewer (not a member of the press) who said almost everything you need to know about "Ruby Sparks:" "If it was sweeter and had more popular leads it could've been something like 'Pretty Woman.'"
This is partially true, as "Ruby Sparks," like "Pretty Woman" and "My Fair Lady," (and to a much lesser degree all of the "Pinocchio" movies), are all variations on George Bernard Shaw's 1913 play "Pygmalion," itself based on Ovid's Greek mythology poem "Metamorphoses." There truly is nothing new under the sun....
