20 lesser known Rom-Coms you'll absolutely love

14) Ruby Sparks (2012)

Trending

In Ruby Sparks, Paul Dano plays Calvin, a struggling writer who creates a character, Ruby (Zoe Kazan), in his novel—and then she somehow comes to life. At first, it seems like a dream come true, but things take a turn when Calvin realizes he has the power to control Ruby’s actions.

Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, this 2012 film is quirky, thoughtful, and unexpectedly emotional. The real-life chemistry between Dano and Kazan (who also wrote the script) makes it even more compelling and it’s a unique spin on the idea of love and what it really means.
