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.

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

Grant Gustin is still the GOAT and it was very sad in some parts. Amazing acting and directory. Great movie to watch with family and if you like dogs.

Good story about both a man and a dog, and about not giving up on yourself or someone else.

A fun movie for the whole family. Especially touching for adults who have ADHD, dyslexia, hyperactivity. Dog lovers will also find it good, but I think it's more than a dog movie, it's a light film that talks about these peculiarities that are often seen by ourselves as limiting, but they are not.

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.

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
