I enjoyed Ruth + Ira's lovestory

So did I. During all the present day scenes, I found myself wishing we were still focusing on Ruth and Ira.

Once upon a time there was a magical place where it never rained. The end.

Completely agree. Their story completely captivated me.

I agree. Ruth and Ira are what compelled me to watch the movie. Whenever they switched back to modern day scenes I was disappointed.
