What Parents Need to Know
About In the Land of Women
Parents need to know that while it's been marketed as a teen-centric romance, the movie includes some heavy subject matter. Teen girls will want to see this drama thanks to star Adam Brody -- aka Seth from The O.C. -- but his character here isn't a teenager; instead, he's a man with women issues. A central character has cancer, and its onset affects her entire family. Plus, a teenage girl smokes, drinks, and has a combative relationship with her mother, and a sometimes-senile grandmother believes she's on the verge of death. There are a few passionate kisses, and the protagonist's job as an erotic-film writer is mentioned throughout the film.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about women's roles and mother-child relationships. Does being a stay-at-home mom make a woman worthless, without anything to show for her life? Why does Lucy perceive her mom as a failure and a fake, and how does Carter challenge Lucy to change her perspective? How does the media depict housewives? Is this film an accurate portrayal? Families can also discuss the difference between Sarah's relationship with her two daughters and how Carter helps the women around him feel better about themselves.

For Parents from Kid's point of view
I am suprised at today's media. This movie was revolved around a porn writer and his surroundings after he moves in with his grandmother. This story's plot was weak. It was just a love triangle- mother and daughter loved the same man. I caution parents to let their children see this. It encourages some behavior that shouldn't be encouraged- cheating on spouse, love with a minor, and love with a married woman.

Great Movie, Stupid Not To Let Kids See
This movie was absouloutly great. I can not believe that some parents would not let their kids see it. So he talks about "sex" and he writes "erotic stories" to clue all of you in, EVERY CHILD THAT IS OVER 9 knows about that kind of stuff. "Romantic KISSING" is no big deal, your kids will be kissing by the time they are 11, so you need to get used to it. You dont have to talk to your kid about sex until your ready but just to clue you in, they probably already know. The movie was great. Let um' see it.
