The real hiccup in this retelling — directed by Alanna Brown — is the way the screenwriters lean on familiarity with the source material and hurry the love story.

The chemistry between Serayah and Lepley takes some time to develop, but once it fully blooms, both stars shine in their respective roles.

64/100

A slightly above average streaming title whose biggest accomplishment is discovering Alanna Brown, a far more competent director than the producer of this film. Brown could be the future of Tyler Perry Studios if Perry could get out of his own way.

The film seems to prefer Babyface over Jermaine Dupri. It suggests that Ruth prefers one over the other. The film never explains why. Both are great record producers.

3/5

Attractive stars and settings make this Tyler Perry-produced romance passable, but a voiceover narration almost sinks the whole production.

For all the effort it takes trying to force an old story into our modern context of HR and sexual consent norms, the film also chooses not to explore some of the biggest plot points of the biblical narrative

Ruth and Boaz was a great movie. Tyler and Serayah did a great job with the acting. I really enjoyed the soundtrack as well. I would love to see a part two. I would definitely recommend this movie.

The plot is right out of the Bible’s story of Ruth and has religious messages. I guess with all the bad news about our country’s demise I needed a romance with a positive ending.

It was a cute movie but the love story is rushed. There wasn’t enough there for me to truly root for the characters.
