Ruby Takes A Trip!

About This Movie

So, 'Ruby Takes A Trip!' is this odd little gem from '91 featuring Ruby Wax as a very stressed out character. The tone is sharp, blending sarcasm with a sort of dark humor that's both engaging and pretty relatable if you’ve ever felt overwhelmed. It follows Ruby on her journey from LA through California, and you really feel that sense of discovery—almost like a road movie but with more wit and less cliché. The performances have a real rawness, especially Ruby’s, who manages to balance the comedy with moments of introspection. It’s not something you see every day, which makes it distinctive in its own right, capturing a slice of early '90s quirkiness. Definitely worth a look if you’re into character-driven narratives and unconventional storytelling.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, primarily on VHS, which makes it a bit of a rarity for collectors. There's not a lot of information out there about its initial distribution, and it hasn't received much attention in the way of remasters or re-releases. It’s an interesting piece for anyone looking to delve into offbeat early '90s television-inspired films, especially considering Ruby Wax's unique comedic style.
