5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, May 1 2004

This review is from: Milk Money (DVD)

I loved this movie.
Frank (Michael Patrick Carter) and his tow school buddies decide to make their dream come true, of seeing a real live nude woman. So they gather up all of their milk money and make their way into the seedy city center.
Melanie Griffith plays V, a beautiful warm-hearted prostitute in trouble. Being really short of money, she agrees to disrobe for them.
After she drives them back home, she has to crash out in Frank's tree house after her car breaks down. A romance ensues with Frank's father Tom (Ed Harris), who Frank leads to believe she is a Math tutor. Things get hairy when a ruthless gangster finds out where she is and comes after her. But all ends well, through sticky, funny and touching moments.
I liked the way V was shown as a really funny, warm, real human being.

Movie is awesome and good for a laugh. These kids do what any young kids wanna do and go explore the big city, but get into a lot of trouble.

This review is from: Milk Money (VHS Tape)

This rather silly but surprisingly touching movie begins when 3 kids save up their milk money and make a trek to the city to pay a woman let them see her naked body. Guess who their angel turns out to be. Melanie Griffith. She ends up driving them home, suffers a car breakdown outside the house of Frank, the main kid, and he concocts a play to play matchmaker between Griffith and his dad, figuring she'd be an absolutely perfect step-mom. The kid passes her off as a math tutor, and there are hilarious stretches of dialogue focused on everyone's misunderstanding of how dad, kid, and um, hooker, view each other's identities.
Fun for a while, but it's not really a keeper.

1.0 out of 5 stars More Like Milk of Magnesia
A 90 minute visual laxative. Complete with stool softening and bowel cramping. Last time I saw a plot this thin was at Karen Carpenter's gravesite. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Just doesn't work out
The movie is supposed to be funny, but just doesn't cut it.

No, I'm not getting up on some hypocritical high horse of holiness and accusing the movie of "immorality", what turns... Read more
