Brody is the epitome of the trustworthy, funny, approachable, but magnetic nice guy that you would marry in a second if he really existed. It was like Tom Hanks and John Cusack had a love child. Go to Full Review Jeff Bayer The Scorecard Review Mar 3, 2008

babarizam D @RT59932316 May 30, 2025 Script is awful and the guy was a terrible actor back than. See more N P @NicSarge Dec 8, 2024 "In the Land of Women" is a movie that you can tell had heart. I have to admit that there are some surprising moments that got to me emotionally and had some resonance. The film was made with good quality, the cast is great, and the script is somewhat clever. But, there indeed was messiness in the concept, which was jarring, and the movie felt predictable and cheesy. However, I do feel like someone who is dealing with some interpersonal issues, angst or just feels lost - can get something out of this movie. See more Sean S @RT99571076 Aug 16, 2023 This movie is extremely well acted and has a great premise but doesn't do enough to elevate/develop its characters to make this a great movie. See more Mar 13, 2022 It’s impossible to not like Adam Brody 3.0 See more Jun 19, 2021 I love Meg Ryan in almost anything. I loved Olympia Dukakis in Steel Magnolias. I get to love her again in In the Land of Women. I love Mackenzie Vega in this; whoever she is. I hate Stewart and Anaya; whoever they are. Stewart just sucks to me all the time thus far. In the Land of Women seems released early to me as if to say keeping Sophia-the-dumper away and turning Lucy down can turn a grown man into a child. <3 :) Alicia Lynne.
