Product Description

 
A misguided drifter with a penchant for inhaling aerosol fumes to get high finds herself in the middle of a heated national debate after she's arrested (again) and discovers she's pregnant (again). The judge offers to let her off lightly if she has her pregnancy "taken care of," but when she's put in a cell with a group of pro-life protestors, her new roomies "adopt" her and try to force her to have the baby. A double-edged satire from first-time feature director Alexander Payne.

Baby Savers vs. Hippies, All for a Glue-Sniffing Loser

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: "Citizen Ruth" is a Smart, Witty Satire Debut Feature from Alexander Payne & Co. led by Laura Dern's Hilariously Complex Performance.

The Abortion Debate... Rendered Funny

Date of Review:  Sep 9, 2000
Review: In honor of the upcoming election, I will be (hopefully) viewing and reviewing one movie with a political theme each week until Election Day. This week I chose Citizen Ruth, a movie that satirizes everyone's favorite wedge issue, abortion.
