Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

Raul Faust Wow, what a nice little flick! Carter Webb is an unique character that oscillates between being the good boy and the womanizer; either way, he's likable in both situations, and male spectator will surely feel identified with him, one time or another. He deals with different kind of females. An hypochondriac grandmother, an immature teenager and a problematic woman. The grandma is indeed funny, and I loudly laughed in the "I hadn't eaten anything in three weeks" scene; it exposed with sincerity how old people act when they feel lonely and helpless. Even if the portrayal of such character can have a serious connotation, I couldn't help laughing at her manners. The directing and editing are sometimes weird, and I noticed an overuse of editing during conversations, but that doesn't spoil the (many) qualities of the film. The story, for example, is EXTREMELY original, and so are the conversations and the problems that characters deal with. Adam Brody has an amazing performance, and I'm really surprised that I haven't ever seen him before. In some scenes he remembered me of Axl from "The Middle". "In the Land of Women" is, without a doubt, a different movie from anything you've seen, and proves that a low-budget project can be as satisfying (or more) as a Hollywood blockbuster. Give it a try!

Nikhita Prabhudesai 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.

SnoopyStyle Carter Webb (Adam Brody) is a softcore porn writer. His famous girlfriend dumps him. He takes a break and goes to Detroit to check on his grandmother (Olympia Dukakis). He befriends the women next door. The mom (Meg Ryan) is suffering from cancer and a cheating husband. The daughter Lucy (Kristen Stewart) is angry at her mom for everything.Young Jon Kasdan is trying to inject poignancy and charm into this manufactured premise. Do people actually write porn? It sounds like a made up thing that LA writers create. And the whole relationship with mother and daughter sounds like another porn plot. Is that the connection? All the dialog have this fake idealism.The thing is I love Meg Ryan's performance when she's with Adam Brody. Kristen Stewart is once again her grumpy profound teen. She rambles through all that emo dialog. The dialog can really go from wonky childishness to fresh insightfulness.
