Movie Review: "Rescued by Ruby"
Main Characters:
I was initially drawn to Netflix's Rescued by Ruby because of its lead, Grant Gustin. Gustin is widely recognized for his starring role in The CW’s The Flash and his early work on Glee.
In the movie, he plays a very different character. He portrays Dan O'Neil, a state trooper aspiring to join the K-9 search and rescue team, a goal that requires him to first partner with the right dog.
For anyone who loves canine-centric cinema, this movie delivers. The title role of Ruby was shared by two talented dog actors named Bear and Shiloh.
Story Plot:
Living in a shelter, Ruby has been adopted and returned seven times due to her chaotic behavior. She is a total handful—constantly chewing, digging, stealing food, refusing to sleep, and struggling with housebreaking.
However, Dan O'Neil refuses to give up on her; he firmly believes she is the first shelter dog to successfully join the K-9 unit.
Movie Theme:
This isn't your typical boy-and-his-dog story. Dan is an adult with a family of his own, balancing personal ambitions against his own flaws.
Ultimately, Rescued by Ruby is a true-story adaptation about a "free-spirited" dog who seems uncontrollable by anyone else. Because Dan refused to give up on Ruby, her loyalty and hard work rewarded him in ways he never anticipated.
Recommendations:
Netflix has delivered a truly heartwarming, feel-good film suitable for the whole family. I highly recommend it for your next movie night or weekend bonding time at home.
This movie will keep you hooked, and it shines a beautiful light on the power of pet adoption. It leaves viewers with the ultimate heartwarming question to ponder:
Do we rescue dogs? Or do they rescue us?
Note: I researched and compiled some facts about the movie, then included my opinions in this Movie Review.
