What’s it like living/working in Nevada brothel? Three weeks on, one week off. Almost all of the woirking girls at The Ranch are thinking about how to get out of “the life” and into a more traditional job or relationship. One quits to marry a guy in Michigan who has no idea his bride-to-be is not a flight attendant. Another, divorced, struggles in a tug of war with her ex as they try to raise a daughter. One plans to pile her money high enough to retire in a couple of years. A former Hollywood actress whose career went south is just laying low to escape an angry California pimp. The lives of the brothel manager and a bartender related to the never-seen owner are anything but normal. It’s actually a pretty accurate portrayal. But don’t expect this to be a porn movie. It may be R-rated for sexual content, but it’s very tame considering the subject matter. Made for HBO by MGM, it’s practically PG.
