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

Cristian s Hermosa, entretenimiento sano para toda la familia. Buena historia, no me esperaba que estuviera tan bien. Ideal para pasar un buen rato. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic movie for everyone, especially animal lovers! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/21/25 Full Review Audience Member Rescued by Ruby tells the uplifting true story of a state trooper and his unlikely bond with a shelter dog, Ruby, as they both strive to overcome their challenges. Starring Grant Gustin, the film captures the emotional journey of both human and animal, with a focus on perseverance, loyalty, and second chances. While it follows a predictable formula, its sincerity, warm performances, and feel-good moments make it an enjoyable and inspiring watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Leah W A great watch. Amazing that it's a true story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
