Milk Money
(1995)
|
A romantic comedy in which 12 years-old Frank and his friends pool their savings to find a lady who will satisfy their curiosity about the naked female body. They find a willing "working girl" in the form of V, a warmhearted girl with a beautiful figure. But unfortunately, Frank sees her as a partner for his shy single father. |
Four years after Pretty Woman came Milk Money, another implausible “prostitute finds love with a nice man” romantic comedy, this time from My Stepmother Is an Alien director Richard Benjamin. It is much more warm-hearted than the more successful Julia Roberts film, with Melanie Griffith sexy and down-to-earth as the hooker brought home by a young boy as a prospective wife for his lonely dad (Ed Harris). Both Harris and Griffith give proficient, understated performances, while Malcolm McDowell is convincingly nasty as the pimp who's after Griffith. It's utterly preposterous but thoroughly enjoyable entertainment.
