| - Ashley Judd plays Ruby Gissling our protagonist and heroine; she is our Catherine Morland character. As the film begins, Ruby is leaving a young man in Tennessee, and driving herself to Florida where she lands in Panama City, Florida, a summer resort town she visited as a child and has several good memories of time with her family there. She arrives in Panama City during the autumn months, which is at the beginning of the off-season for a beach town. Luckily, she gets a job at Chambers Beach Emporium, a souvenir store run by Mrs. Mildred Chambers, who hires her, and integrates herself into the community. The only reason Mrs. Chamber’s hires her is because she sees a younger version of herself in Ruby. At the store she befriends a co-worker named Rochelle. Rochelle’s character is similar to the character of Eleanor Tilney. This becomes apparent in the conversations the two share. At one point Rochelle gives Ruby money when she is desperately in need of it proving again to be an Eleanor Tilney. Mrs. Chamber’s son, Ricky, is a character similar to that of John Thorpe. He is handsome, a show off, and a liar. Ricky also represents the character of Captain Frederick Tilney in the same way and because he is wealthy. Mrs. Chambers tells Ruby that she prohibits any of her staff to date her son; she says this because of his wealth. Ruby meets another man named Mike, who is similar to the character of Henry Tilney. This film, like the novel, ends up with the heroine of the story caught in a love triangle. Ruby keeps a journal over a year and writes in it about her jobs highs and lows, her love life with men, her past and how it is affecting her and her hopes for the future.
