Susan Seidelman directed this made-for-cable comedy drama about a few days in the lives of a group of "working girls" in Reno, NV. "The Ranch" is a legally operated brothel that operates under the careful watch of state health inspectors (who insist on weekly medical checkups) and the semi-benevolent leadership of Mary (Amy Madigan), the manager. While the women on staff don't have to dodge the law like their comrades elsewhere, that doesn't mean they don't have their problems, as moms juggle parenthood with the world's oldest profession, some of the prostitutes struggle to keep their work a secret from their boyfriends, and others try to escape the mistakes of the past that brought them to Nevada. Originally created as a pilot for a possible cable series, The Ranch was released in R-rated and "uncut" editions; the supporting cast includes Samantha Ferris, Jessica Collins, Paige Moss, and Nicki Micheaux. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Since this was originally a pilot for a cable series, Ranch has some trouble as a stand-alone movie. You can see where the show might have been heading, but you shouldn't expect a full arc to the plot. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter. There is some very nice eye candy on this disc, but not much else to get excited about.

The disclaimer at the beginning of the flick states that it's been edited for content and to fit in the time alloted. On a DVD? Come on. This ain't Wal-Mart,is it? The original Showtime version would have been much better. Don't waste your time on this.

Renting this movie was possibly the WORST idea I have ever had for valentines day. Not a sexy couple watch, as a matter of fact, Corpse Bride would have done better!
