In the Land of Women is a 2007 American romantic comedy-drama film directed and written by Jonathan Kasdan and stars Adam Brody, Kristen Stewart and Meg Ryan.

Young, soft-core porn screenwriter Carter Webb lives in Los Angeles.

The next morning, Sarah arrives at Carter's doorstep, bringing cookies and inviting him to walk Bozo.

Returning home, Sarah asks Lucy to invite Carter out to take his mind off Sofia, but she refuses, and her husband agrees.

They also awkwardly run into Eric, a schoolmate of Lucy, who works at the Orange Julius shop.

Four days later, outside in a pouring rain, Sarah, in tears, tells Carter she has breast cancer, and will have a mastectomy the following morning.

Days later, Lucy convinces Carter to come to a party with her for support after discovering that Gabe hooked up with her best friend.

Later, sitting in the diner where Sofia broke up with him, he's on his laptop computer, trying to finish a script about his grandmother.
