William Bibbiani TheWrap Bright colors, wide angles, and plenty of Doggy Vision sequences never let us forget for one minute that theres nothing scary about this world, even though we know for a fact that there are quite a few murderers in it. Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com Rescued by Ruby delivers what it promises. It’s sweet and hopeful and will put a smile on your face. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a generic and mostly underwhelming endeavor... Rated: 2/4 Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Ruth Maramis FlixChatter Film Blog A charming, heartwarming movie about two underdogs, featuring the effortlessly likable Grant Gustin who deserves more leading roles. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community Rescued by Ruby is a great dog film that the whole family can sit down and enjoy together. Grant Gustin is beyond charming, and you can’t help but want to root for him and Ruby to succeed. Rated: 7.5/10 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies If you're a dog lover, Rescued by Ruby should be on your watch list. It's a Hallmark-esque movie so make sure to have a Kleenex box nearby. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 25, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Michele B Great story, but so hard ro watch this movie because they tried soooo hard to do the accent. Not only did they not get a Rhode Island accent (which by the way is closer to the Bronx than it is to Somerville) they didn’t get it in New England. The. movie would have been so much better if they had just ignored the accent and let the scenary place it in Rhode Island. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Patty B My dog gets so excited when this movie comes on! He loves Ruby. My kids like it too but we get the most joy from watching our dog as he watches it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Tammy L I was disappointed in it. The true story is amazing but the film about it wasn’t. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Everyone loves this movie. The critics ratings were 100%. But… there were no top critic reviews nor was it rated on Ebert.com. There are very very very few good “dog” movies and unfortunately this one isn’t good either. It was like a Hallmark melodrama. The true story is an amazing story to tell but it could have been told much better. Bear who plays Ruby is delightful and he is beautiful to watch. I was disappointed by the movie and mislead by all the hoopla and acolytes given to it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Daniel B Si Rescued by Ruby funciona es gracias a Grant Gustin, regala una actuación honesta llena de matices en la que por medio de las inseguridades de su personaje expone su arco argumental, creando un paralelismo con Ruby, dos personajes a los que se les ha estigmatizado por ser diferentes, sólo necesitando una oportunidad que pruebe su valía, objetivo que "Daniel" busca en toda la película, no por subir un puesto en su trabajo o por el incremento de paga, siendo para probar que es capaz de superar lo que otros no ven en él. Esta película tiene todos los componentes para funcionar dentro de su sub género, es inspiradora, es agradable de ver y tiene un mensaje de autoaceptación muy importante y reiterativamente muy bien expresado por Grant Gustin. No es una película que pretenda ser más de lo que es, con una trama línea y con un desarrollo narrativo circular, personajes carismáticos y empáticos dentro de una trama de superación basada en hechos reales que funciona; Argumentalmente sustancial y cinematográficamente correcta. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/24 Full Review Nicholas C I watched it twice in a week. You wouldn't believe the ending if you didn't know it was based on a true story Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
