finished watching Citizen Ruth
I guess being cynical was considered brave back then, but I see it as the easy way out, a movie about politics shouldn't have such a juvenile political analysis. Some very dark jokes did land for me, I'll give it that.

"Citizen Ruth" is the story of Ruth Stoops, a woman who nobody even noticed -- until she got pregnant. Now, everyone wants a piece of her. The film is a comedy about one woman caught in the ultimate tug-of-war: a clash of wild, noisy, ridiculous people that rapidly dissolves into a media circus.
