Critics Consensus

While pleasantly acted, In the Land of Women is a dramatically stilted film with underdeveloped characters.

Kasdan's gift for the smart crack is consistently undercut by a well-developed taste for schmalz.

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.

As soon as it's over, you start forgetting about it. It's not a bad movie, it's just fine.

"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.

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.

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.

The lead Character was just not likable. Only notable for a strong performance from Stewart.
