Love Ranch is the true story based on the lives of Joe and Sally Conforte, who are now in this version Charlie and Grace Botempo, a married couple who were the very first people in the U.S. to open a legal brothel; The Mustang Ranch in the 1970's. The premise in the story does get some tweaking when all falls apart when their marriage gets tested by infidelity.

Rated R for sexual content, pervasive language and some violence.

Oscar chances ? A long time ago I may have thought so but this film has been in the can for over two years. Not a good sign. I guess there could be a slight chance for Mirren, but as of right now I wouldn't bet on it.
