Love Ranch Reviews
A captivating film... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 22, 2018
Overall, a complete misfire given the talent involved.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 30, 2012
The picture feels edited with a chainsaw, reducing Hackford's story of desire to crummy Lifetime Movie theatrics, wasting the numerous gifts of Helen Mirren along the way.
| Original Score: D+ | Nov 3, 2010
A misbegotten jumble that clumsily synthesizes various incongruous elements.
| Original Score: C- | Oct 12, 2010
Presumably the aim was to meld dark humor with passionate ardor and high drama, but the tone here is lumpy, crass and overheated.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 17, 2010
It's the story of a marriage but not the one on screen. Taylor Hackford tarnishes wife Helen Mirren's illustrious streak but gets a paycheck. Horrible 온라인카지노추천 script.

Once Hackford has committed to the characters and to their compelling (if dark) world, he has nowhere to go but to some predecided facts that might not be the most interesting end to the characters' journey.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 29, 2010
If Hackford & Co. really and truly wanted to evoke the Sleazy Seventies, they should have studied Pam Grier's filmography like a religious text.

Hackford's films have been uneven, but he's generally an intelligent and tasteful director. His last film, Ray, may have been his best. Unfortunately, Love Ranch is almost certainly his worst.

The only vaguely interesting aspect to this film is the subplot involving a past-his-prime Argentinian heavyweight owned by Charlie.
| Original Score: D+ | Jul 9, 2010
Even Helen Mirren on a bad day is better than nine out of ten American film queens polluting movie screens on any given Sunday, but really, this is one time she should have stayed in bed.

Try though she might, Mirren can't save the hackneyed and singularly unerotic story...
| Jul 6, 2010
A worthwhile tale might lurk somewhere in Taylor Hackford's latest, but this flaccid look at the early days of Reno's legalized bordello business takes a fictionalized approach to history...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 6, 2010
Familiar to the point of blandness. But then again, every time The Mirren walks into view ...
| Jul 6, 2010
It's all melodrama and yelling. The material is way beneath the actors... at least you get to see Pesci do "angry Joe" again.
| Jul 6, 2010
It starts flat and gets so tired.
Full Review | Jul 6, 2010
Gives you only a superficial, clichd picture of brothel life.

Love Ranch proves to be a provocative, highly entertaining and surprisingly touching peek into a unique world movies don't often explore.

If you've been panting to see Joe Pesci and Dame Helen Mirren get it on, hustle over to Love Ranch.
Full Review | Jul 2, 2010
A hackneyed drama in which even Helen Mirren can't make much out of her bewildered character.
