Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Citizen Ruth (1996)

Another "watch this, my sick son" movie.

Paint-huffer loser Ruth is arrested again and, while in jail, found to be pregnant again.  When the judge offers to reduce the charges if she gets rid of the pregnancy, she becomes the prize in a tug-of-war between right-to-lifers and the pro-choice contingent.  The oblivious Ruth, however, is only interested in cash and her next high.

Still good, but I guess it’s a bit dated now.

B+
