"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.

齐藤道雄是个剧作家,以前转为电视剧写剧本,现在则是编剧课程的教师。二十年前留学时代的好友上原大介即将和美国女郎罗拉结婚,道雄为了参加他的婚礼来到了洛杉矶。大介前往机场迎接,并和旧友一起驱车旅行,道雄想走访各个酒庄,而大介则是为了好好享受最后的单身时光。
道雄得知留学时的暗恋对象田中麻有子在著名的产酒地纳帕生活,他走访了麻有子所在的葡萄酒商店,却没能遇到她。次日,道雄在饭店里偶遇麻有子,大介则看上了麻有子的朋友美奈。
次日,两人用美奈送的折扣券做完SPA后,分头行动。大介去挑选婚礼上用的酒,而道雄则假扮麻有子的丈夫,和她一起去了别的酒庄。五年前,麻有子曾和丈夫在这个酒庄里订了酒。麻有子提起了往事:她和开百货公司的大企业老板公子结婚后一直生活在日本生活,五年前她离了婚,好不容易才有了现在的生活。麻有子在家里开小型小派对,道雄下厨做了自己的拿手菜,大介则一直和美奈在一起,晚上也没有回旅馆。
麻有子代道雄去参观酒庄,在遇到麻烦时,道雄出手解了围,作为感谢,麻有子请他吃晚饭。两人聊起了过去,并接了吻。道雄说麻有子应该回日本,一句话立刻令气氛变僵,两人不欢而散。这晚,大介又没回旅馆。
四人一道去乡间野餐。道雄和麻有子依然有点尴尬,而大介却开始认真考虑自己和美奈的关系。晚上道雄接到来自电视台的电话,得知自己写的剧本将被拍成连续剧后,道雄非常高兴。
麻有子得知原来大介马上就要结婚了,一怒之下用平底锅打伤了他的脸。在回家的路上,大介有结识了一个女警察,和她去了家里。不料丈夫突然回家,大介半裸着逃回了旅馆。道雄不得不来到女警察家取回了大介的钱包和车钥匙。
电视台又打来了电话,决定改用由道雄学生改写的剧本。自尊心受到伤害的道雄借酒浇愁。大介从垃圾箱里拣出被道雄扔掉的剧本,暗中交给了麻有子。
两人出发回洛杉矶。大介突然想到了什么,开车撞到了路边的树上。原来他是要为自己的伤脸制造未婚妻能够接受的理由。
大介和罗拉的婚礼圆满结束。道雄决定再去见麻有子一面。他打电话过去留言:“我要去见最珍爱的人,想和她一起共饮美酒。如果你的心情和我一样,请为我开门吧。”
