Christmas at the Ranch

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.

Cute movie with attractive characters. I enjoyed watching this before Christmas. The fact that the two main characters are lesbians was a treat, but also in how their sexuality was relatively incidental and not a big deal. Definitely a PG movie, too. I wouldn't hesitate to watch it with family. My only complaint is it wasn't long enough.

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.

Always glad to see Hallmark showing Christmas movies that represent a wider array of people in their love stories and family constellations rather than just the go-to generic white heterosexual couple. It's great to see different ethnicites and/or sexual orientations in the lead, and not just as the token friend/colleague/family member.

People who whine about Hallmark kicking family values and morals in the gutter can take several seats and read up on Jesus' teachings. It's not your job to judge or hate, it is your job to open you heart and home and love others. Don't disrespect Jesus this CHRISTmas Holiday Season by spreading hate and disowning loved ones for being born different than you.

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.
