AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

sammybarnes1989 Since I started watching Ruby my life has changed.I thank God that Ruby has the want and the will power to come forward for all of us at home on our journeys!!I joined Overeaters Anoymous and have now lost 26 pounds!! 3.5 pounds last week!!

I love you!! and Ill be praying all season for a huge success!! Good luck!!Watch Ruby she will change your life!

dunedin A delightful reality show with heart felt commentary. Ruby has a personality that pulls you in and you are on her journey. The show focuses on a woman's perspective of being obese. Ruby, in her Southern Savannah style, smiles, jokes and cries her way into self discovery. Ruby Gettinger enjoys life. She is not ashamed of her weight,which is refreshing. Most reality TV shows stars seem to be victims. Their drama stems from the victim's plight to remain a victim. Ruby is not a victim. Ruby just smiles. Yes, she has issues, but she seems to meet them head on. A refreshing change in television.The photography on the show is wonderful. The shots of Savannah are captivating. Makes me want to live there!

ehm0311 Ruby is an inspiration to all us 'fat women'. She shows great courage and willpower that I've not seen before. Yes, it does include personal drama, but the bottom line is...she is exactly where many of us have been and are trying to reach a good weight and feel good. Please keep "Ruby" on the air. By viewing all of her trial and tribulations, many women and young girls are now brave enough themselves to venture out and try ways of losing weight for themselves, not for others. Losing weight is a wonderful self esteem booster that will transcend into our daily lives. By the way, isn't Michelle Obama targeting obesity as her health campaign?

gdlkall Ruby is such a good show because at it's heart is a whole person, rather than a gimmick, and the show follows her attempt to overcome a life-threatening obstacle by taking responsibility for herself and dealing with her feelings; to keep pushing forward, despite setbacks and self-doubt; and to learn to trust and rely on others for support and guidance. Each episode shows people overcoming fears and taking risks by telling the truth. In fact, we watch Ruby and all the others, even her doctors, struggle against their own limitations with an openness and depth unusual to television. This is the real stuff of what it is to be human, and one of the surest survival plans available to any of us. Luckily, the editors preserve the honesty, insight and charm of this group so events seem natural rather than set up. An earlier comment's inaccuracies may be based on a hasty impression or misperception:--The life-threatening dangers that motivate her struggle are noted in each episode, and her fear and her doctors' warnings are not glossed over or minimized. The weight issue is never "a ticking time bomb that is cheerfully ignored." --The episode where an old boyfriend visits is shown in perspective for exactly what it is and contrasts sharply to the love and support of the real people in Ruby's life like Jeff Parsons. We watch Ruby forcing herself to see this for what it is and triumph by overcoming this distraction and staying on course. --There is a great deal of medical information, in fact much of the series follows Ruby's work with each individual in her medical support team including a physician, a psychiatrist, dietician, and two fitness experts. It is hard to comprehend the comment that "no medical facts or helpful advice is proffered".This show deserves a full viewing.
