Meet Ruth Stoops. She's homeless, dumb as a cinder block and loves to get high huffing spray paint. Life would be dandy if it weren't for one tiny problem-she's gotten herself knocked up for the umpteenth time, and it seems like everybody's got an opinion about what she should do-from an angry judge to God-fearing Baby-Savers to radical lesbian feminists. And Ruth just wants to party! Laura Dern stars in an award-winning bravura performance backed by a stellar ensemble cast including Burt Reynolds, Mary Kay Place, Swoosie Kurtz, Kelly Preston, Kurtwood Smith and Tippi Hendren. Written and directed by the team who brought you Election and About Schmidt, Citizen Ruth is a hilarious, provocative look at what happens when a sperm meets an egg and sparks fly.

Italiano La trentenne Ruth Stoops è talmente rovinata dalla droga da ridursi a sniffare colla e vernice, e per di più ora deve affrontare un'imminente, ennesima maternità (alle spalle ha altre quattro gravidanze interrotte). Ma quando il giudice decreta la sua incapacità di tener fede agli obblighi genitoriali, la ragazza viene cooptata da Gail Stoney, moglie del presidente di un comitato anti-abortista: ovviamente i sostenitori del libero arbitrio intervengono, e la povera Ruth diventa suo malgrado il centro di una strenua querelle fra fazioni avverse.
Español Ruth Stoops (Laura Dern) es una una drogadicta vagabunda cuya existencia no parece importarle a nadie. Pero, de repente, una situación inesperada la convierte en la mujer mas querida tanto por los liberales como por los conservadores.
Deutsch Die drogenabhängige Ruth Stoops hat vier Kinder, die von den Behörden bei Pflegefamilien untergebracht wurden. Sie wird wegen eines Drogendelikts erneut festgenommen und erfährt, dass sie schwanger ist. Ein Richter legt ihr einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch nahe. Stoops entscheidet sich dafür und gerät an eine falsche Klinik, die Abtreibungsgegner führen, um in Kontakt mit schwangeren Frauen zu treten. Stoops wohnt zuerst bei der Familie Stoney und später bei den Lesben Diane Siegler und Rachel. Sie nimmt Geldspenden genauso von Abtreibungsgegnern wie auch von Abtreibungsbefürwortern an. Stoops hat eine Fehlgeburt und fordert danach von einem der Abtreibungsbefürworter weiteres Geld.

Pусский Рут Ступс, неудачница, плывущая по течению, получает два известия: то, что она беременна (в пятый раз), и то, что ей в суде предъявлено обвинение. За закрытыми дверьми судья предлагает ей выход из создавшегося положения: если она пойдет к доктору и «уладит свою маленькую проблемку», он, возможно, снимет свое обвинение.

Český Šílená černá komedie odehrávající se na pozadí střetu názorů na potrat. Ruth (Laura Dern) je mladá pouliční feťačka bez stálého bydliště, kterou opětovně zatknou. Soud si uvědomí, že je už popáté těhotná, a navrhne jí jako řešení nežádoucího těhotenství potrat. Brzy po propuštění se Ruth stane předmětem sporu zastánců práva na svobodnou volbu matky a jejich odpůrců, zastánců práva na život nenarozeného dítěte.

ελληνικά Η Ρουθ Στουπς συνελήφθη πολλές φορές για αλητεία και χρήση ναρκωτικών. Αυτή τη φορά, όμως, όταν συλλαμβάνεται για εισπνοή επικίνδυνου αερίου, μαθαίνει πως αντιμετωπίζει κατηγορία σε βαθμού κακουργήματος , επειδή είναι έγκυος. Ο δικαστής κάνει στη Ρουθ μια περίεργη πρόταση: θα μειώσει την ποινή της, εφόσον η ίδια δεχθεί να πάει σ' ένα γιατρό για να «ρυθμίσει» το πρόβλημά της. Αργότερα, στο κελί της η Ρουθ γνωρίζεται με μερικές νοικοκυρές που βρίσκονται μέσα επειδή έκαναν εισβολή στην τοπική κλινική όπου πραγματοποιούνται αμβλώσεις. Η Ρουθ αφήνεται ελεύθερη με εγγύηση, με τη βοήθεια των συγκρατουμένων της, που αποφασίζουν να την πάρουν υπό την προστασία τους μέχρι να γεννηθεί το μωρό. Η Ρουθ , όμως, δεν έχει την ίδια άποψη.

Adventure runs wild when renowned paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) agrees to accompany a wealthy adventurer (William H. Macy) and his wife (Tea Leoni) on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen's former breeding ground for prehistoric creatures. But when they're terrifyingly stranded, Dr. Grant discovers that his hosts are not what they seem and the island's native inhabitants are smarter, faster, fiercer and more brutal than he ever imagined in this heart-stomping thriller.
The misadventures begin when Miles (Paul Giamatti), an un-recovered divorcé and would-be novelist with a wine fixation, decides to gift old college buddy and washed-up actor Jack (Thomas Haden Church) with a celebratory trip to the vineyards of the Santa Ynez Valley the week before Jack's wedding. The two couldn't be an odder couple. Jack is an over-sexed charmer; Miles is a sad-sack worrier. Jack is looking for his "last taste of freedom"; Miles just wants to taste perfection in a bottle. Jack is fine with cheap Merlot; Miles pines for the elusive, perfect Pinot. Indeed, the only thing they seem to share in common is the same heady mix of failed ambitions and fading youth. And yet, as they make their way up the coast, Miles and Jack soon find themselves drowning in wine and women. Both men careen dangerously and comically toward mid-life crises. Now, the wedding approaches and with it the certainty that Miles and Jack won't make it back to Los Angeles unscathed or unchanged...if they get back there at all.
Academy Award-winner Jack Nicholson ("The Bucket List," "As Good As It Gets") stars as Warren Schmidt, an embittered man who has just retired after 32 years as an insurance company actuary. When his wife dies suddenly, Warren packs up the 35-foot Winnebago that he and his wife had planned to travel the country in and sets out on a journey across the Nebraska plains to Denver, Colorado, for his daughter's wedding to a waterbed salesman whom Warren despises. Every move Warren makes seems wrong, and he appears destined to end his life as he lived it: a failure. But along the way, Warren recounts his journey to and shares his observations with an unexpected friend -- a poor Tanzanian orphan whom Warren is sponsoring for 73 cents a day. In his long letters to the boy, Warren begins to see himself -- and the life he has lived -- in a new light.
