“Dutton Ranch” (**1/2 out of four) was a meandering but easy-to-take melodrama about a family (Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser) who struggle to maintain their massive ranch while raising their young son (Finn Little) and facing tough competition and economic and personal battles in their lives. Lack of plot and narrative thrust are balanced out and compensated by spectacular and beautiful cinematography on stunning locations in Dallas, Texas and agreeable performances. Film is a feature-film expansion of the current television series.
