USA Today | Claudia PuigAdd Critic to Favorites

What gives In the Land of Women its singular charm is the charismatic Adam Brody, the star of TV's "The OC."Read the full review

ReelViews | James BerardinelliAdd Critic to Favorites

Enjoyable for a movie in which pretty much nothing happens.Read the full review

Los Angeles Times | Kenneth TuranAdd Critic to Favorites

The 27-year-old Kasdan displays an ability to bring a refreshing, human touch to what could be overly familiar material that echoes what his father did in films like "The Big Chill" and "Body Heat."Read the full review

The Hollywood Reporter | Luke SaderAdd Critic to Favorites

Probably needed more originality than is on display. With an age-old cinema theme of a young man's maturation, it also needs to land female ticket-buyers but seems a lot like something women could find at home on the WE channel.Read the full review

Variety | Justin ChangAdd Critic to Favorites

A strong cast struggles valiantly to rise above Lifetime material in In the Land of Women, an appealingly scruffy if overly programmatic drama.Read the full review

San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalleAdd Critic to Favorites

To his credit, writer-director Jonathan Kasdan is sensitive and observant...But he doesn't know what he's talking about, not really, and though he structures the film around his areas of ignorance, that only works partially.Read the full review

Boston Globe | Wesley MorrisAdd Critic to Favorites

In the Land of Women sounds like a piece of cheap science fiction about the last man on earth. If you're the lovelorn mother and daughter in Jonathan Kasdan's first movie, a grating romantic drama, that's painfully close to the truth.Read the full review

Washington Post | Desson ThomsonAdd Critic to Favorites

The movie refuses to descend into the cute smarminess of a mutual recovery drama, thanks to originally conceived characters. We're always wondering -- and wonderfully surprised -- by their choices.Read the full review

The Onion (A.V. Club) | Nathan RabinAdd Critic to Favorites

"Women" confirms that the only thing less enjoyable than enduring long, drawn-out conversations about feelings and relationships in real life is watching movies about people having long, drawn-out conversations about feelings and relationships.Read the full review

The New York Times | Stephen HoldenAdd Critic to Favorites

The meek, mopey comedy In the Land of Women is the film equivalent of a sensitive emo band with one foot in alternative rock and the other in the squishy pop mainstream: a softer, fuzzier "Garden State."Read the full review
