WHAT’S IT ABOUT THEN?

Coming across like The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas on Speed this is definitely an eye opening experience and sometimes an eye popping experience Cathouse takes us inside the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

Part of the America Undercover series seen on HBO Cathouse (which incidentally proved so popular that a sequel and a full series followed soon after) makes heavy use of hidden cameras to show what life inside a brothel is actually like from the way the girls line up like cattle to be chosen to the negotiations that take place before the action can commence, these segments are actually pretty funny as the matron of the Ranch Madame Suzette (one couldn’t help but notice that she wasn’t actually French) comes in with her clipboard to collect the money. As is usual with HBO this is very near the knuckle stuff with bad language and nudity well to the fore.

Brothel owner Dennis Hof seems to be trying a bit too hard to prove that what he does is a legitimate business (and make no bones about it this is big business) and does come out with statements that are strange to say the least, he clearly loves what he is doing though (April 2002 saw the Ranch take over a million dollars worth of business!!)  

In the final analysis the girls are honest about what they do and some of them do seem to enjoy their jobs but you can’t help feeling more than a little seedy about  the whole experience and I for one could not imagine anything more non sexy than paying a visit to the Ranch. 

ANY SPECIAL FEATURES?

The only extra is more footage of owner Hof who certainly knows how to talk it big.
