"In the Land of Women" is a romantic comedy/drama about trying to makes sense of love.
Adam Brody plays Carter Webb who has just been dumped by his true love Sophia
(Elena Anaya). Heartbroken and depressed, Carter escapes Los Angeles to suburban
Michigan to care for his ailing grandmother (Olympia Dukakis). Soon after his
arrival, Carter stumbles into the lives of the family living directly across
the street: Sarah Hardwicke (Meg Ryan), the mother of two daughters: Paige (Makenzie
Vega), and older sister Lucy (Kristen Stewart). Through his relationships with
these women, as well as with his grandmother, Carter discovers that what felt
like an end was only just the beginning of something else...— More here |

 An appealingly scruffy if overly programmatic drama.
Justin Chang
VARIETY
A strong cast struggles valiantly to rise above Lifetime material in "In the Land of Women," an appealingly scruffy if overly programmatic drama. Writer-director Jonathan Kasdan's tale about a young man emerging from his relational cocoon rests squarely on the shoulders of its trio of talented lead actors, whose names should draw a limited audience to the Warner Independent Pictures feature. In the Land of Women B+
Emanuel Levy
EMANUELLEVY.COM
"As writer-helmer Kasdan makes an impressive debut with a coming of age saga that recalls The Graduate, positing a confused youngster between an ailing mom and rebellious daughter, sans the nasty tone of that satire; Adam Brody and Meg Ryan are terrific."
 Lays on the saccharine pronouncements thick
Jessica Grose
Village Voice
Without all the soppy plot devices, the Land of Women might have been someplace worth visiting.
Offers no brutality, action, blood, sex, nudity, horror or formulaic solution to box-office glory.
Rex Reed
New York Observer
it is amazing to discover just how much this absorbing, intelligent picture has going for it: a strong sense of time and place, interesting characters, painfully sincere direction and an intriguing scenario that pauses and breathes in all the right places
