The people who rave about this film must be ringers. These is quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. Although the story idea is OK, the writing, directing, and most of al,l the acting, are ATROCIOUS. I think the "filmmaker" got a videocamera for Christmas and, with no experience whatsoever, said to his friends, "Let's make a movie." If you're up for a good laugh, you could watch this film just cause it's so bad it might actually be funny. Otherwise, avoid it at all costs.

Sweet and Tender
“Angora Ranch”
Amos Lassen
With “Angora Ranch” and “Vacationland” WaterBearer Films has entered into a whole new class of good gay films. I previously reviewed “Vacationland” and had a lot of good things to say about it.
I am going to say the same good things about “Angora Ranch”, a bittersweet love story ala “Romeo and Juliet” with modern trappings. This is such a nice, tender movie that you can’t help but love it. It transcends love and stereotypes as well as family problems and gives us that rare commodity—a beautiful love story between two guys, Justin and Jack. Its premise is simple enough and that is what makes t such a good movie.
Justin is driving to a business meeting and while on his way there he drives off of the highway to avoid hitting a rabbit. Justin is young, handsome and charismatic with his youthful charm. He is lucky that he landed in a ditch at Angora Ranch which just happens to be owned by Jack, a man double his age but every bit as hot and charismatic. In other words, Jack is HOT. The two men see each other and the viewer feels the magic. As the age difference between the two falls away, another problem is in the offing. Each of the guys has a father who loves t meddle. Jack’s dad is pushy and wants his son to settle down while Justin’s dad is a strict businessman who is convinced that his son will never amount to very much
In their attempt to rise above what the father’s feel about each of them, the guys find love. They each find in the other what they are looking for but the problem is what to do about their fathers.
There are some really funny scenes in the film and the dialog which at tiles is heavy is beautifully written and spoken. Sometimes the emotionalism seems a bit contrived but taken as a whole, it works beautifully. There are times when the actors are upstaged by the loveable rabbits that populate the movie. What is so good to see is a love affair between two guys who are very separated by age yet find love anyway. The film is pleasant and rewarding and never becomes sexually explicit. It stays true to its theme that true love can overcome any obstacles and does so with style and class.
I can’t say enough good things about this movie. I think what makes it so appealing is its simplicity and its tenderness. This is one you will not want to miss.
The DVD also contains two wonderful extras—candid shots during the filming and a featurette on “Behind the Scenes”.

This is film that portrays relationships and how they are directly tied to love, both emotional and physical. If you do not care for such attachments or have never had a love, true love, then the screening will not only not make any sense but can be very boring! A lot of us get so tied to the real world, that we do not allow ourselves to see, much less feel, the emotion of LOVE. Once you allow yourself to experience this emotion, a whole new and most magnificant life emerges. You should take the one you love and cherish to see this flick. LOVE IS AN EMOTION THAT IS PECULIAR TO MAN'S PSYCHE!

This was a fun and enjoyable movie. It probably didn't win any Oscars, but I could just sit back, relax and not have to think about any deeper meaning. Glad I own it.

The story line of this movie was cute. However, the acting was so bad I couldn't bare to watch. I fast forwarded though almost the entire movie hoping to get to the good part, which ended up being the credits. I want my money back.
