One of the best movies EVER! Melanie does a wonderful job as a hooker and the little boys are excellent. Funny, funny plot and well worth your viewing time. I've seen it several times and it's still funny to me.

"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!"
A 'Pretty Woman' knockoff that stands well enough on it's ow

"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."
Cute.

"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."
A very funny cute story.

"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."
