Carter Webb, a young soft-core porn writer living in California, has just broken up with by his actress girlfriend. He decides to take a time out and visit his grandmother in Detroit, but the women across the street have a different idea. He meets the Hardwickes who live next door, the mother, the teenager, and the little girl, and they change each others lives forever.
In his first feature, In the Land of Women, Jonathan Kasdan has made good use of several things he inherited from his father, fellow writer-director Lawrence Kasdan, including a strong supporting actress (JoBeth Williams) and an experienced editor (Carol Littleton). And something more.
The 27-year-old Kasdan also displays an ability to bring a refreshing, human touch to what could be overly familiar material that echoes what his father did in films like The Big Chill and Body Heat.
But the younger Kasdan (whose older brother Jake's own film, the sharp and funny inside-show-business satire The TV Set, hit screens earlier this month) is very much his...
This little known film is embracingly enioyable
Released in the US in April 2007, 'In the Land of Women' was neither a critical or commercial success. This lead to there being no cinematic release here in the UK, for reasons which are beyond me. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
It is very well cast, with a post-OC Adam Brody doing what he demonstrated so well in that shortlived show- deftly neurotic but sweet humour.
Then there is a very heartfelt performance from Meg Ryan, who goes through a personal tragedy during the narrative. These two main protagonists display such convincing chemistry on screen that it makes the film a more believable and touching experience.
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.
Played by "The OC's" Adam Brody in his patented so-dorky-he's-cool fashion, 26-year-old aspiring writer Carter Webb has just been dumped by his supermodel g.f. Sophia (Elena Anaya). Leaving L.A., Carter moves in with his half-deranged grandmother (Olympia Dukakis) in subu...

woow!..I really liked this movie..at first I was reluctant to watch it..but then I gave it a chance..and it really is worth a watch..its sad, passionate, loving, funny at times, and its has a good moral to it..the ending wasnt all cliche and the movie wasnt typical.
I liked the idle atmosphere the film created, but seeing Meg Ryan once again as a sick person just spoiled it for me so much. I am not sure, but it seems Meg Ryan has taken on the role of sick person quite a bit on her recent films, this is the 3rd movie, she is playing similar role. I loved the movie, but i hated the theme of sick. It'd have been much much better, if they used a different plot. I think it is okay for one watch! Yeah, also a bit unrealistic twists here and there!
it was a good movie. at first i was a little confused by what was going on but then i understood about the love nd stuff.i liked itt a lot well worth a watch.
