Christmas at the Ranch

This was a nice enough, sort of festive move but unfortunately didn't feel very festive. It was based around Christmas, but it didn't have the magical feels.

It was nice to watch a diverse Christmas romance but there was just something missing with lack of chemistry between all actors.

Why IMDB needs me to write a minimum of 600 characters is beyond me, especially when sometimes there's not a whole lot to say about certain movies, and we aren't all movie critics writing a column.

Anyway, this was a pleasant time passer but not very memorable, and I don't see myself watching it again in the future.

The film is not too original in its plot, a successful and beautiful city woman goes back to her family living in an indebted family ranch where she also meets someone new. It is a feel good Christmas romance with nice cosy atmosphere, likeable characters, romance, family drama and a bit of humour. I think it is great - we need more wlw feel good movies, especially during the holidays.

I really enjoyed the setting, characters, and clever dialogue of this holiday movie. This movie is funny and the interactions feel believable and not awkward. All the holiday romance movie clichés are covered, but this movie is not heavily steeped in Christmas. The snowy ranch scenery is just gorgeous - and we get Lindsay Wagner! That is a definite bonus. The script is very clever and all the actors delivered compelling performances. The production quality is top notch and my only knock would be that the sound editing is uneven at times. I would watch a sequel or even a television show based on the premise of this movie.

Yeah okay, this movie isn't great and you have to take what you can get when you're looking for lesbian Christmas movies but me and my wife were distracted the entire time by this innocuous little detail - Kate, a small-time rancher, has a salary of $150k?! This would put Kate in the top 9.5% of annual household incomes in the US. Talking of households, Kate is ALSO getting free board at the ranch's cottage? What the hell is this woman's problem? I'd love to know what she has done to earn this level of income considering her job seems to consist of fixing a single, tiny pathetic looking fence every day and then staying at a motel. No wonder your ranch is hemorrhaging money!

This movie probably deserves a 4 star rating but gets 5 solely for all of this.

I was looking forward to something to get me into the holiday spirit, something nice and calm. I decided on this title because it looked like it might have some nice scenery... I live on a ranch and the sights here are some of the most beautiful I'd ever seen.

Well, anyways, it started off slow and boring and went down from there. Save your time and don't watch it.

I don't want to give it away for anyone who still wants to watch, but it's the typical romance storyline you've seen a million times.. everything you'd expect to happen, happens. There's no mystery, not 'wow', nothing. It's a "mhm, yep, as I thought" type of boredom.
