In the Land of Women

Carter Webb (Adam Brody) gets dumped by the love of his life, Sophia (Elena Anaya), leaves Los Angeles, and escapes to suburban Michigan to care for his ailing grandmother. There, he befriends a single mom (Meg Ryan) and her two daughters (Kristen Stewart, Makenzie Vega) and gets caught up in their complicated family that make his own seem small and inconsequential.

Adam Broday looks like he's 19 years old. His character is in his mid to late 20's. Although this bothered me...What bothered me most was that his age was never brought up. Is it normal for a 20-something to be going through a mid-life crisis.

Meg Ryan has always been likable. I was glad to see her on screen after a 3 year hiatus.

The plot misses some key story points but it does supply some witty dialogue. Jamie says "6".
