Movie #670 ........................."In the Land of Women"

Movie #670 "In the Land of Women" is my kind of film --- easygoing, well acted, has lots of humor in the dialogue, is a great commentary on relationships, never know where it is going because it comes across as "slice of life" --- I look at the plot below, and yes it is basically about that, but there's so much more. This probably was a flop at the box-office because it works better probably on the t.v. because it seems a story about your neighbors, everyday people, dealing with Grandma's senility, dealing with breast cancer, dealing with h.s. drama of dating, dealing with infidelity of a partner, and finally dealing with being in your 20s, brokenhearted, trying to find your way in the world. Yes, most of the cast is full of very capable women, but this Adam Brody is truly a find. I want to see more of his work --- he handles his own in all the scenes. At the end, I wanted to meet him and listen to him talk to me like these women did. I liked this film a lot! But I realize it is very slow-paced for a lot of movie viewers. P.S. it answers the question, where has Meg Ryan been and what is she doing now? and Kristin Stewart is excellent again, and without being a vampire!
