refuge after break up. new universe. and different forms of love. lessons of life. and the change. the basic virtue of film is to remind the old fashion romantic comedies. and it is not a small thing. because the humor and performances and romanticism are at the right place. sure, not at the perfect place. but the war between woman and man, the evolution of emotions, the dialogues and the feel to meet, again, after a long time, familiar situations, are the good point for this film who represents the fine definition of the discover of the other.

In the Land of Women is a very beautiful acted film starring Adam Brody, Meg Ryan and Kristen Stewart and all 3 actors are really good in this film my only problem with the movie is the character of Sofia which seems to still control Brody's character even after they broke he should have been with Lucy they had a lot of great chemistry together and they would have been good together also Ryan's performance and her dealing with cancer was also something that i enjoyed she really fought hard with this thing although the ending felt kinda i don't know forced or just him doing the same mistake he did last time but they never made a sequel so who knows.

To be fair and honest, I found myself enjoying the film at first; from there it was all the way downhill. Once again we see Kristen once again in her stereotypical role, playing herself as it seems that I have not seen a single film with her in it that in anyway does she seem in character. To me she seems to best described as a wall where scriptwriters stick dialog scripts too. She is always expressing herself the same way and always with that annoying stutter but despite her best attempts to make the worst aspect of the film, I find myself hating what seems to developing into a picture that inspires emasculation.Too often we see pictures to day presenting and I am quoting from the film here "soft and shy" as the ideal guy. My response is an all resounding, no. This surreal depiction of what in reality bores women is in no way, anything but feminist drivel. And what is even more disturbing is the over used a&&hole stereotype guy called which I give with a loud 'ugh' Gabe. This is really getting bloody stupid. Relationships aren't black and white girls, and to be frank inspires me to be believed that anyone who doesn't understand this hasn't really grown up emotionally wise.Fortunately the lovely and beautiful Meg Ryan once again gives another great performance despite the crap script. If you want a good romance film, watch The Neighbour (2009) and James Cameron's classic, Titanic. Both will fill the wants and needs of all Romance lovers. New in town was also a really good romantic comedy and none of the characters present leads or any of their other male characters as anywhere in realm of "soft and shy". One more final word to Hollywood, you really need to try harder, how any of this crap is suppose to resemble real life or any good romance for that matter. To my memory, I don't remember Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca or even Mr. Darcy in any film or novel version of Pride and Prejudice did they seem to present such girlie introverted demeanor nor the aggressive archetypes that have been progressively destroying moral justice and the image of good men everywhere. If you want to see what I mean, watch Adam's Rib; a movie way ahead of its time.
