In the Land of Women
This movie, now probably long gone from the theaters and the Top 20, was not bad. Not at all.
But don’t look at the poster or any promotional material for this movie and expect to find a young love story. Because you won’t rally find that here.
More than anything it’s a slice of life movie about three people, Adam Brody, Kristen Stewart, and Meg Ryan, coming together at different crossroads in their lives and how each of them can help the other find their own way and meaning through the difficult times.
A nice character study, each of the actors in the film is quite good, and not having paid attention to Meg Ryan since 2001’s ‘Kate and Leopold’ seems to have successfully transitioned to a parent-role nicely. Adam Brody, who will be popping up in ‘Smiley Face’ and ‘The Ten’ later this year was quite likable as the male lead against Kristen Stewart, who seems to have grown up quickly since 2002’s ‘Panic Room’.
All in all, this is a movie I would recommend to people. I suppose it’s considered a chick-flick more than anything, but don’t hold that against it.
