In the Land of Women (2007)

best movie i've ever seen.

A Masterpiece!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

What a waste of 2 hours. Don't know how this is rated so high.

A sleazy writer has a chance to redeem himself when he goes to stay with his grandmother and befriends the neighbors. In the Land of Women is a very beautiful acted film starring Adam Brody, Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart and all 3 actors are really good in this film my only problem with the movie is the character of Sofia which seems to still control Brody's character even after they broke he should have been with Lucy they had a lot of great chemistry together and they would have been good together also Ryan's performance and her dealing with cancer was also something that i enjoyed she really fought hard with this thing although the ending felt kinda i don't know forced or just him doing the same mistake he did last time but they never made a sequel so who knows.

This movie is one of the most underrated films if IMDb's got to give it a 6.6. They obviously read the misleading synopsis and saw the misleading poster, expected some amount of explicitness and got disappointed. This film is more than about getting over somebody. It's about how you should treat people, how people should treat you. Carter, the lead character moves in with his grandmother. Being a writer he has a thirst for new stories and characters with depth. He perceives things differently from others and doesn't care to express his opinion if asked for one. The film has such subtle beauty in it, and such full characters that you actually live as someone else for a while. I aspire to make a film like this one someday. Hats off to Jon Kasdan for writing such lovely people. I'd give it a 9/10.

In the Land of Women its a great little movie.I say little because it doesn't deal with anything too serious or profound, its just about human relationships,family dynamics and people in general, which happens to be my favorite kind of movie.Adam Brody plays Carter,a young soft-core porn writer who after a break-up with a famous actress uses his grandmother poor health state as an excuse to get away from L.A. and everything he knows in hopes of healing his broken heart and find some peace.He moves to suburban Detroit to take care of her and in the process he meets the Hardwicke family who lives across the street from his grandmother's house. First he bonds with the mother(Meg Ryan), and then with the daughter(Kristin Stewart) making an impact in in their lives and in the end he changes his own life as well.This charming independent movie is about ordinary people and the everyday life and some of the struggles and pains people go trough.Adam Brody was great although he always seems to be playing his character,Seth, from The O.C. I didn't mind it because it worked but I wonder if he's capable of doing something completely different,same thing goes to Kristin Stewart,she did a terrific job but she played once again an insecure and somewhat damaged character. Meg Ryan was great as well.Overall, a sweet movie and a very promising debut by director Jonathan Kasdan.7/10
