Watch Citizen Ruth (1996) Official Trailer
Life, liberty, money and the pursuit of happiness. She's gotta have it.
6.6 / 10 IMDb November 21, 1996 1h 44m
"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.
