Instead, when these suburban innocents travel to the big city to fulfill their adolescent dreams, they almost get mugged. But the quick intervention of street-wise hooker V (Melanie Griffith) saves them. And not only that... she does a strip-tease so that they'll have succeeded in their mission, and then drives them safely home. But already one of the boys perceives the heart of gold that lies beneath her tawdry exterior -- and he's decided to marry her off to his widowed dad (Ed Harris). [More]

Reviews for Milk Money
This feelgood romantic comedy is short on laughs, sexual chemistry, and the thriller subplot won't produce any white knuckles.
This execrable film sinks ever lower as its dirty joke of a plot unfolds.
Ridiculous, tasteless, offensive and unfunny, Milk Money was the perfect final film to see in this string of losers. It made all the others seem better.
Richard Benjamin, laboring under the idea that this is an enchanting premise, directs such episodes as if he were Norman Rockwell in a trenchcoat.
John Mattson's script is every bit as silly as it sounds; it dawdles, stumbles, stalls, embarrasses both itself and the audience, and is routinely formulaic to boot.
Question: Will Hollywood ever retire the Hooker With a Heart of Gold?
With a tip of the hat to the performers, this is a misguided comedy with Hall of Shame pedigree. Its commercial prospects are quick, down and dirty.
Sour is not the word for it. The milk obtained from this money is positively rancid.
A preposterous movie about a boy, a babe and a car, all of them functioning minimally in what is essentially a showcase for Melanie Griffith's body.
I can hear the pitch for this one: 'a sex comedy for the whole family.'
I don't want to spoil it for you, but let's just say the gangster doesn't get what he wants, and true love saves the day.
