Download Free In The Land Of Women

In The Land of Women has a powerful and poignant story about love and
growing up and in some ways could be considered a 'coming of age' story
for a twenty something guy finding his way. The film is entertaining
enough, even has some cute moments to chuckle at but it never really
finds it's wings and takes off and there is a few reasons for that. The
script first of all and the film making style somehow seems so subtle
and just crawls to each scene. It's not that it bores you or anything
but it doesn't keep things moving at a proper pace. The other problem I
think was in the casting. Given a more talented and ranged leading man
the film could have made a real impact because there is some decent
performances but they lack a certain passion behind them. The entire
film is missing this element of passion that you really want it to have
but never really gets a full on dose of it which is unfortunate. The
film is just cute...it's just okay and it could have been really
something. For Young newcomer Jon Kasdan who wrote and directed the
film it is indeed a worth attempt and he gets an "A" for effort and
coming close and still managing to make a very watchable film that is
hard to hate but also doesn't really give you anything to shout about
either.

I have no problem with Adam Brody. I was a huge O.C. fan and would love
to see him get a decent film career but his range as an actor is
incredible limited and will likely always play the sarcastic, snide,
slightly withdrawn type that he played in The O.C. and then rebirths
with a tiny bit of edge for this film. He has a certain charm when it
comes to playing the role of the confused, looking for purpose young
man who goes to visit his grandmother but I think he lacked a lot of
the passion missing from this film. Up and comer Kristen Stewart who
did a terrific job headlining The Messengers (See my review) plays the
equally confused coming of age teenage girl Lucy Hardwicke. I predict
big things for Ms. Stewart if she can find the right roles and she
certainly has the edge necessary and probably gives one of the most
passionate roles in this film but still misses the mark a little. The
rather strange romance between her and Brody is actually a high point
of the film and they have decent chemistry together and mirror each
others feelings of their lives. Meg Ryan turns in a very decent
performance as Sarah Hardwicke, and definitely gets the most emotion
out of her character as you could and should expect. I know Ryan has a
decent range of ability and I just felt like she was holding back even
in this role. But still she was a great addition to the cast and was
probably the best performance of the film.

The film certainly has it's moments. I mean the title says it
all...Brody's character literally finds himself trying to find his way
in the world, and heal from his break up surrounded by completely
different women of different generations. His Grandmother, his young
teenage next door neighbor and her mother, plus his worried mother and
everyone else he comes into contact with. For all the romantic moments
in the film you never really get that fuzzy warm feeling because I
don't think any of the relationships that blossom or start in the film
are particularly romantic. I think the film is much more of a satirical
look at romance and growing up and finding your way. Still it's
entertaining enough, definitely worth seeing, and won't bore you by any
means. I only wish there was more to say about it because it seemed to
have such potential that never really gets there but that can be said
for many films of great possibilities. 7/10.

It looks like a great movie i can`t wait to see it .

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEST AS .

I really like watching "The Notebook" over and over again....

The fact that the film tries to be The Graduate (May-December flirtations) meets Garden State (stunted 20-something bogged down by life) just makes its failure all the more apparent. It frankly has more in common with TV’s similarly inept "writer tries to find himself" saga 'October Road.' .

kristen is great actress thaaaaaanx.

It's the writing that makes this movie. The Executive Producer wrote it, and directed it; so I can understand how that happened. The person with the ultimate authority to wreck this script was the man who wrote it: so it didn't get mangled. Typically, a Hollywood movie has only one idea in it. This one has seven (well, I counted seven, maybe I missed some). It almost seems as if the central premise is "Everything is the opposite of what it seems". Almost. One needs to pay attention to get the juice out of this movie. I kept finding I needed to go back and replay scenes because my mind wandered (it does that a lot, but in most movies, that doesn't matter because I know the ending shortly after the opening titles fade). This movie has seven endings, and none of them occur at the end of the film..

THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE HAVING FUN & SERIOUSNESS BUT ALSO LOVE THERE.THIS TYPE OF MOVIE I ALWAYS PREFER MOST.LOVE IS THE SYMBOL OF HUMANITY.EVERY BODY SHOULD WATCH AND ENJOY MOVIE.LEAP YEAR COMES AFTER EVERY 4 YEARS. LOVELY.

ffffff,sasasasasasasas.

"Land of Women" is the quintessential example of how so many of todays
movies can be full of plastic characters, inane dialogue, and
hopelessly under developed plots and still manage to get some poor slob
to think its a good movie. The main character is a kid that runs off to
live with his grandmother and for some reason, morphs immediately into
the old man on the mountain as far as teaching life's secrets and
dispensing endless wisdom. Mind you this stupid punk doesn't utter even
a line that qualifies as indiscernible common sense in the entire
movie. Never mind anything that is going to make a women swoon with his
charm and charisma. Except of course the family of broads that live
across the street from his grandmother that collectively seem to have
never managed a life 'till the "wise" young punk moves to the
neighborhood. The empty, plastic subplots and dialogue in this movie
are far too numerous to give attention to in individual detail. Suffice
it to say that the hapless viewer is supposed to accept that a
righteous babe like Meg Ryan, who doesn't seem to have any job and has
nothing better to do all day than to stroll the neighborhood with her
dog, has never up until the stupid kids arrival met up with anyone that
wants to listen to her, walk with her, or grow close to her and gain
enough of her confidence to have her confessing about her husbands
infidelity. She seems to have no friends or family that are available
to listen to her whining, so she latches on to the "duh" looking punk
that wanders the front lawn next door. Allow me to confess that I find
it inconceivable that a looker like Meg Ryan with so much time on her
hands and exposure seems to have up until the kids arrival, never been
able to locate a sympathetic ear. (Trust me, if Meg Ryan was to be in
my neighborhood all the time alone and walking a dog, she would find
herself being infested with sympathetic ears.) She seems to hang on his
every word and thought as if he is the true coming in her life of some
living bastion of all things wise and wonderful. Yet when she gets
around to confessing to him that her husband is having an affair after
a mere couple of outings together, his response is " I have no concept
of what that feels like". Would anyone out there reading this honestly
surmise that someone you just confessed something heartfelt and hurtful
to, who's first response is that they have no idea of what it is you
are feeling, come to conclude that that person is someone who's opinion
you will eagerly seek out and listen to at a very difficult time in
your life? Why should he have any concept of what she is feeling. He is
in reality shallow, immature, and stupid. But for some reason none of
the women in this family seem to grasp the obvious. When the kid later
on tells Meg Ryan that he thinks her husband must be out of his mind to
be cheating on her, (although he doesn't even really know her at all
and is just turned on by this hot milf who seems to love for some
reason being around him) she tilts her head all puppy dog style and
basks in the glow of the compliment. Like Hello??, you don't have a
clue that this kid just has the hots for you and has never even met
your husband that he has just judged. Oh and there is more. Meg Ryan
talks her underage daughter, (who she is distant from, but the reason
why is never explained), into going on an outing with the kid so he can
get to know some of her friends and all, and is then shocked and
concerned when she up and falls for him. Did anyone else see that scene
coming? Obviously Mom of the year Meg Ryan didn't. Then of course there
is the youngest daughter, the so called "genius" that seems to have no
problem getting a handle on things like quantum physics, but has never
heard of cancer. She of course falls in love with the dork and asks him
to marry her when she grows up. Although among the trilogy of dumb
broads in this family, it is the little one he has the least amount of
interaction with. But of course it all makes sense in this ridiculous
movie for he is the embodiment of all things grand and gregarious. This
entire movie is in fact all things stupid, and that of garbage.

This movie hopelessly fails at even the bare minimum standards of a
chick flick. If the chick in your life ever suggests it, do yourself a
favor. Go screaming into the night......
