Editorial Reviews

In MILK MONEY, when 12-year-old Frank Wheeler (Carter) and his two buddies save up their milk money and head into the city in search of a woman who will let them see her naked body, they think they’ve died and gone to heaven when V (Griffith) agrees to disrobe for them. Now stuck in the city and out of their element, the boys seek refuge in V who agrees to drive them back to the suburbs and away from the city’s chaos. But, when V’s car breaks down outside of his house, Frank decides that V would make a good step mom, and proceeds to play matchmaker for his dad, Tom (Harris). Thanks to Frank, Tom thinks that V is a math tutor, while V thinks that Frank knows the truth about her occupation. What ensues is a long, hilarious conversation that revolves around this comical misunderstanding.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie, at a great price., August 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Milk Money [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Do not turn this movie down. Melanie Grifith is at her best as a hooker who gets thrown into a diffrent life, and is very charming in her roll. Harris lights up the screen yet again, and shows he knows which movies to be in. Milk Money is a great movie, that believe it or not, is good for the whole family. You won't regret seeing this movie!

4.0 out of 5 stars A 'Pretty Woman' knockoff that stands well enough on it's own..., June 6, 2006

This review is from: Milk Money (DVD)

Okay, so the simularities are there...man falls in love with hooker...okay so that may be it but you have to admitt that when you watch this movie the first thought that pops in your head is 'pretty woman' without Roberts star power. If that's the point when you turn this off it's a shame for there is a little more to this film than 'man meets hooker man loves hooker'. First off, the man doesn't know she's a hooker till half way through. The man is Ed Harris and the hooker V is played by Melanie Griffith. The story follows Frank, Harris's son, as he and his friends save up their money to pay a hooker to show them her breasts. That hooker is V. In a chain of events V ends up staying in Franks tree-house while his father fixes her car. Frank, who has never known what it's like to have a mother beings that his mother died giving birth to him, is excited to have V around and is convinced she would be the perfect step-mother (although I find it strange that he wants his step-mother to be the woman he just saw naked). The funny parts of this film consist of when they talk about V's line of work since V believes Ed Harris knows she's a hooker and he believes she's a Math Tutor. The film is sweet and nice Hollywood fluff, nothing too meaty and nothing you'll be jow dropped and amazed over but it's cute and light and a decent film to boot so it won't bore you and may just be what you feel like watching one rainy afternoon.
