hopeless in romance
3 August 2014
Like the stifled and self-repressed female lobsters she is studying, Ruth is desperate and hopeless in romance. She falls for one dirtbag after another. She seems unwilling or perhaps unable to stand up for herself not only with men, but also with her manipulative boss, cranky coworkers, bossy mom, and even when driving. Ex-boyfriends invite her to their weddings and she goes partly to prove them wrong and party to troll for men. One likable guy encourages her to believe in herself. This unexpected support takes her in a new direction and she is not sure if it is good. This delightful romantic comedy really breaks the mold. It is zany, irreverent and gut-busting, non-stop funny. Ruth (Inma Cuesta) is a riot and so are the other actors. The director claims the film is based on real events. Seen at the 2014 Miami International Film Festival.
