"Love Ranch" is a bittersweet love story that turns explosive when the players in a romantic triangle lose control and cross the line. Set in the late-1970s, the film depicts larger than life personalities living on the edge, Grace Bontempo and Charlie Bontempo, the husband and wife team who own and run Nevada's first legalized brothel. Their lives are suddenly altered when Armando Bruza, a husky, world famous heavy weight boxer from South America is brought to the Ranch to train as part of Charlie's ever-expanding entrepreneurial empire. Plans quickly go awry when Bruza comes between Grace and Charlie as an unforeseen love triangle develops that erupts into uncontrollable passion and murder.

Most helpful review Love Ranch

More than it says on the box

[Highly rated reviewer]

Expected a cheap erotic film, turned out to be a film to remember. Great acting all through, and Helen Mirren should have got an award for her part.

Enjoyable but not great.

By OnlyCrapUserNamesLeft (6 reviews) from London , 18 Dec 2011

I actually quite enjoyed this film but Mirren didn't seem entirely convincing her role. The highlight for me was watching beautiful Sergio.

Watch if nothing else

By a customer , 22 Oct 2011

Watchable, but poor. Hard to believe Helen Mirran was in this!!! One to watch when ironing ;-) you will not miss much if you are not properly concentrating on the story.

A Reasonable alternative to a typical evening's TV offering!

By Chrisaljack (302 reviews) from Hellingly , 13 Apr 2011

I'm not sure why Love Ranch never made it to the cinemas in the UK - there are many films not nearly as good as this on circuit! Definitely NOT Helen Mirrem's next Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, she was clearly trying to give some 'star appeal' to her husband's production (and, no doubt, keep his cost down for actors!) rather than because it was an appealing script. So: a good alternative to a typical evening's TV offerings but not a dvd you will rush out to buy!
