Christmas at the Ranch

Amanda Righetti, Laur Allen

You know the movie about the city slicker and the ranch hand falling in love? No, the other one. No, the other other one.

Okay, so it’s been done. BUT have you seen the one about the girlboss and the cowgirl? That’s right. They’re lesbianin’ together.

Haleye is a confident city girl who returns to her family ranch at Christmastime to try to resolve the financial problems they’ve been having, and winds up thrown together with a snarky-but-secretly-down-to-earth ranch hand Kate. There’s a bristling tension building between them - disagreements on everything from how to manage the ranch to their fundamental philosophies on societal and personal values - but despite this, there seems to be a growing spark between them, and circumstances that start to reveal to each other their softer sides. And hey, you know what? Maybe together, they can save the ranch!

It has everything! Enemies to lovers! Snowed in! And there was only one bed! This is a really beautiful meld of all the classic romcom tropes, With Lesbians This Time™! And because every inch of the the plot is so predictable, their chemistry truly makes the movie stand out from the rest.

The soundtrack was distractingly bad, to be quite honest - had the vibe of an early 2000s television movie, but was made squarely in 2021. I have not heard scores that saccharine and lyrics so corny since the likes of that era’s Disney Channel Original movies.

But aside from struggling with some budget and quality issues (as any good shitty romcom should!) it’s a really cute movie and an overdue update to a classic cliche ❤️

Does it pass the Bechdel-Wallace test? YES! Frankly I think just by function of them being lesbians it destroys it, really

Are there characters of color? YES!

Are there LGBTQ characters? YOU BETCHA!

And look how cowgirl Kate uses a burnt match tip for eyeliner and still comes through with a perfect smokey eye:

Yeah. I’m looking respectfully 🤠👀

All in all, I’ll give it 4 out of 5 Golden Rings

Christmas At The Ranch (2021) || 3.5/5🌟 || Romance || "Sparks fly between a woman and a female ranch-hand when she returns home to Nashville, Tennessee to try and save her family's land from the bank."

Same cliches , cheesiness, and plot as many other hallmark movies but it's gay and honestly that's all I'm asking for 😂

I will say the writing is not the best but Christmas romcoms rarely have good dialogue so it's not a deal breaker for me.

We don't usually get snowstorms in Nashville, the last like big one was maybe 2016? We had a lot last year but the snow being gone the next morning was definitely realistic 😂

'Dashing In December' and 'Christmas At The Ranch' are kinda the MLM and WLW versions of each other, so if you like one you might like the other.

(This movie is free on Tubi)

Tumblr, do you want to see what I was doing at midnight last night? Get your head out of the gutter (I mean, or don’t. You do you, babe). Anyway, I was watching this:

That’s right, a low budget hallmark-esque Christmas movie and this is why you should watch it too:

First, I need to tell you, this movie is not good. You should not go into it with high expectations. This is not Goncharov. It is, however, ridiculously charming. There are 4 important characters (Haley, Kate, the-brother-whose-name-I-don’t-remember, and MeMaw). There are 4 supporting characters (the boss, who in a twist is not evil, the bad guy, the bad guy’s son, and Masonry (the vibe-checker)).

Haley (the woman on the right) is the high powered business executive. Her job duties include: doing important presentations and wrangling social media. Kate (the woman on the left) is the ranch hand with the inexplicably amazing hair. Like, I want her shampoo. The two leads’ hair in this movie is just completely on point.

The brother has some form of East Asian parentage, though it’s never brought up. MeMaw is Lindsay Wagner. None of these people look related. It’s easier to assume that everyone is adopted.

You know this movie is going to be good (bad) when Kate goes off on a horse at the beginning of the movie to fix a broken fence post and she can’t get back to the ranch before nightfall, so she goes to a motel and no one takes into account what happens to the horse. Like, was the horse tied up outside the motel? Did the motel have stables? Do people often ride their horses to the motel so the motel is prepared for these types of situations? We’ll never know.

Anyway, the ranch™️ has fallen on hard times thanks to a bank loan with exorbitant interest rates. They were doing ok by making money off of a Christmas hayride, but the bad guy set up his own hayride to try to drive them out of business where he could buy the ranch. They never say why he wants to buy the ranch so badly, but the important part is they’re trying to take away the family home at Christmas.

So, the brother (IMDb tells me his name is Charles) tries to call Hayley to get her to come home. Hayley blows him off several times before she gives in and heads home. Meanwhile, the start up where she’s working is about to be sold too. This is a good thing. It’s never quite clear what the start up does exactly, but it is something that involves a social media person who Hayley has to fire at the beginning of the movie. So Hayley has a big presentation to do to help with the sale. I’m sure you’ve already figured out how we’re going to Save The Ranch.

Before she goes home, Hayley has a online dating app date with Masonry. It does not go well. It involves a Chilean butterfly naming ceremony. And then Masonry consciously uncouples from the date because it wasn’t passing her vibe check.

Haley gets to town, and for another inexplicable reason, has to stop at a motel for the night instead of going straight home. This is the same motel as the somehow has hidden stables motel that Kate stops at for the night. They both open their dating app and it’s amazing! They actually match with someone in this tiny town in the middle of nowhere! (They match with each other, if that wasn’t clear). They go on an impromptu date at the local watering hole where they lie to each other about who they are until Hayley has an emergency and has to go. A social media emergency. Everyone is like, wtf is a ��social media emergency?’ Because they’ve never been Eli Lily and had their stock tanked by a fake tweet about free insulin. Suffice it to say, the date ends badly.

Things do not go up from there. Hayley finally gets to the ranch and the first thing she does is suggest firing Kate because she’s too big of an expense never mode that Charles is utterly incompetent at running a ranch and MeMaw can’t do everything alone. Kate, or course, overhears this and is somewhat annoyed. I’m not downplaying that for humorous effect. That’s her actual reaction. “Somewhat annoyed.”

I’m not going to recount the rest of the movie because you should know by now whether or not this is your kind of thing. But there is an “only one bed” scene, and a “can’t get on a horse and needs help” scene and hot chocolate and deer stew and a Christmas hayride. MeMaw is obviously trying to play matchmaker. Haley has a Tragic Past and this leads to the Big Fight.

The leads have more chemistry than they have any right to and that really saves the movie. I legitimately wanted them to kiss every time they were on screen together. Until they actually kissed, which was just…so awkward.

Anyway, I think it was an excellent use of my time and I think you should watch it too. Because these types of movies are not supposed to be good. They are supposed to be charming and make you smile and make you root for the couple, and this movie did exactly that.

HEY YOU GUUUUUUUYS!

[c-k-mack]

It’s that time of year again! If only they made cheesy holiday romance movies for the wlw crowd. Oh, wait! They are starting to.

In case you missed it last year, Christmas at the Ranch features features all of that wholesome big city girl returns to the farm cheese that you crave with along with an Asian Fusion lead, Grace van Pelt playing her ranch hand love interest and Meemaw played by the original Bionic Woman.

Christmas Farm

The Christmas farm has two bedrooms, a children's room and a parents' bedroom. There is a hobby room, a small office and a laundry room. Adjacent to the house is the stable. From there a ladder leads up to the attic, with a small home theater and a easel. I've modified the chicken coop a bit, you can't see it anymore because I made it smaller with the TOOL mod. You can find the coop in a basket. From there you can interact with the chicken coop as usual.  In addition to small beds, the famr also offers enough space for goats, cows and a horse. There is also a separate barn where the tractor and hay are stored.

Thanks to all creators who made this house possible with their CC, like @animefemme69, @baufive, @chicklet, @k-hippie, @kkbsmm, @KTA, @lady-moriel, @msteaqueen, @radioactivedotcom and many many more.
