Plot: 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, All Movie Guide

Good Flick
Added 5/18/2009

Good movie. Was glad to see the troubles and tribulations of the "pro's" from their view. Would make a great Cable series (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax). Beautiful actresses. Great storyline. Well done.

Buy the Unrated Version
Added 10/12/2008

This movie is a pretty good B-list movie. the plot is not half bad and it kept me entertained. now there are two versions of this movie. the R rated one and the unrated uncut edition. the R rated one censors language and all the nudity. some of the diaologe does not make sence beign cencored. the Uncencored edition is the one to buy. the language makes the movie better and funnier. the nudity also makes this movie a little easier for a guy to watch it. in seeing both versions (cause i rented the R version first) the unrated version is alot better. and if you are someone that does not like the nudity and the language this movie is not something you would want to see.

Surprisingly Poignant
Added 7/8/2008

Having never heard of half these actors, I was expecting no more than a funny "B" movie romp. Man, was I wrong.

Screenwriter Lisa Melamed took the tried and worn "life in a brothel" scenario and infused it with some real heart. The characters are thoughtfully developed and play completely real, and the actors play exceptionally well off each other.

Convincing performances across the board made me care about the outcomes, especially for Taylor (Samantha Ferris) and her little girl.

Bravo to cast and crew.

Some exec really "screwed" up - by not picking up what would have been a compelling and successful series.

The Dud Ranch

If I had known that this video had been edited, I would never have purchased it. It was very annoying having voice overs for numerous words they deemed inappropriate.
