Citizen Ruth 1996

Directed by Alexander Payne | Starring: Laura Dern, Swoosie Kurtz, Kurtwood Smith, Mary Kay Place

"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.
