Summary: Milk Money
Review: I found it delightful and charming. Children see people honestly and without the condinscending, unfocused views that most adults have. Frank, the insightful and mischievous young boy, is taken by the charm and warmth of V, short for (Eve), the cartoon loving hooker with a heart of gold--A must see!

Summary: Sweet
Review: 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.

Summary: Milk Money
Review: 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!

Summary: Boy finds "dream-wife" for his lonely (but reluctant) dad
Review: Melanie Griffith is a delight in this familiar story of "hooker with a heart of gold". -- A 12 year old is convinced that Griffith, a beautiful prostitute, would be the perfect mate for his widowed father. Unaware of Griffith's "background", the father does develop feelings for the charming young woman who appears to feel likewise. After a few laughs, tears, twists and turns, the film (as they all do) has a story book ending. -- This is a wonderful piece of light "comedy/romance", very pleasant viewing. No Oscars here, just a true feel-good movie!

Summary: Charming
Review: 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.

Summary: Just doesn't work out
Review: 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 me off to it is that just doesn't come together. The kids are too young, the premise too lame, it just doesn't work out. Spend your milk money elsewhere!!

Summary: Cute.
Review: 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.

Summary: Frothy milk
Review: 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.

Summary: Not a deep movie, still fun tho
Review: When Frank and his friends ride their bikes into the big city, I thought that was somewhat unrealistic. I sure wouldn't let my 12 year old son go gallavanting around the city unsupervised. Best line in the movie---near the ending when Michael Patrick Carter shouts out "I have a hair ! " (on his chest, supposedly).
