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!

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.

I liked this movie alot. It is a very funny plot.
It will be a movie I watch more than once.

Milk Money emphasizes on the inner person. Frank finds the good in V, despite her career. Most adults see people for what they are, in caprison to themselves. Children see people for who they are, in caparison to themselves.

This movie was really cute. It's about a boy, Frank, who goes into the city with his friends to look for a hooker. They find V, a hooker that ends up having a soft side to her. She soon finds herself stuck in the suburbs, where Frank and his dad live... and falling in love. It's a cute and funny comedy/drama... And it's worth your time and your money.

I saw this for the first time on TV in my final night in the US in August 1999, and really enjoyed it. It took a long time, but I found a UK copy (it's deleted from all catalogues here) and have enjoyed it again. I have read several reviews stating it is rubbish, what about AIDS, etc., and these have really annoyed me. It is not a piece of social documentary or commentary, it is escapism pure and simple, and on that basis it works well: it is a jolly good view. I would really recommend it!

"Milk Money" is a comedy/drama about a group of boys who save up money so they can see a naked woman. They find V, a hooker who is short of money and trying to get away from the one she works for. She stays awhile in Frank's treehouse until she can get her car to working again. V (Melanie Griffith) begins to like Ed Harris after Frank tells her a lie about what his dad said about what she does for a living.

I recommend anyone to see "Milk Money." It has a few funny parts to it, but it's more of a drama movie. And it's a good one at that. It's a good story of how a struggling hooker and a normal, everyday man try to sort out their differences while a young boy tries to keep them together.

This is one of our favorite movies. Its funny and has a nice story line

I thought this movie had everything,it was funny,romantic,and had some drama.I don't think Melanie Griffith looked any better,she was absolutly cute in this movie,she played a fantastic role in this movie.As did Ed Harris,I feel they complimented each other in this movie,and I would recommend this movie to my friends and my family. ABSOLUTLY TERRIFIC!
