Filed under: Breast Cancer , Magazines , Movies Apparently the movie In the Land of Women is playing somewhere in the United States -- it was released on April 20 -- but I can't seem to find it in my area. I want to find it, though, because it stars actress Meg Ryan as Sarah Hardwicke, a woman rediscovering herself as she recovers from breast cancer. Breast cancer is not the main theme in this movie. It's mostly about a successful writer, played by The O.C.'s Adam Brody, who loses a girl, moves to a new town to care for his grandmother, and finds a new girl. Her mom is Sarah Hardwicke. I learned about this movie just today while reading an interview with Meg Ryan in the May 2007 issue of Redbook. "I like that Sarah comes out of a difficult situation a much bigger person," says Ryan of the character she plays. "I think that most adults, if they're honest with themselves, have these turning points -- a sort of rebirth, and they come back out either better or they don't come back out." I agree. And that's why I want to see the movie. To see a trailer of In the Land of Women, click here .
