Watch Milk Money For Free
Milk Money
Three young boys pool their money and pay V, a kindhearted prostitute, to strip for them. Afterward, she drives them home to the suburbs -- but then her car breaks down. It's just as well, though, because a mobster named Waltzer is after her, and V realizes the suburbs are the perfect place to hide. But things get a lot more complicated when V falls in love with Tom, a single father who is unaware of her real profession.

I love this movie so much
Too much of everything
Such a frustrating disappointment
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
I guess to simply describe this movie would be to call it a Pretty Woman clone. Basically a guy meets a prostitute, falls in love with her, and in the end she gives up her job for him. The problem is that this movie is sort of lost between whether it is an adult comedy or one directed at young teens. Basically the main character in this film is a young teen who lost his mother and his father is caught up with this loss.The movie is about a group of kids going through that time when they begin to discover women and women begin to discover them. They are studying sex education at school, and instead of relying upon the biology textbooks, they decide to scrape together $100 and go to the city to see a naked woman. The woman they find ,V, is a prostitute but really wants to get out of it, and ends up helping the kids out by taking them home. She gets stuck in the suburbs, meets and falls in loves with the kids' father and decides she wants to stay, but unfortunately her past is always haunting her.This movie is really a lower grade version of Pretty Woman. Okay, Pretty Woman was way over-rated, and in the end really did not impress me that much. This movie didn't really promise anything, and I believe that it was actually a straight to video release (at least in Australia), which goes to show that in the end, it was not really that worth getting onto the screen. Still, it was better than some of the garbage that gets up there, and in fact the movie held itself together, and had the morale ending stating that lying never gets you anywhere, but she also landed up keeping a lot of dirty money, so if there is supposed to be a morale there, it is lost because in the end that it approves of other immoral stuff.
"Milk Money," every now and then looked like it was landing in the land of sleaze. It came close but never really crossed the line. Add to that no cuss words, no nudity, and a quickie anti-smoking message. Considering the theme - a trio of boys grabbing their milk money for a quick look at a naked lady - the pic was relatively PGish. It was at times funny, at times warm and, at all times thoroughly enjoyable. The youngster was delightful, Ed Harris was quite good, but Melanie Griffith out-prosted Julia Roberts. Her portrayal of the age old prosty with a heart of gold was dead on. All in all, unless you are totally nervous about the theme, I can guarantee much enjoyment
I simply cannot believe some of the reviews of this film. Two people view it through the liberal vs conservative prism, others compare it to "Pretty Woman", and one person actually thinks the money burned in the car. It is obvious none of these people actually saw the film, because they would know it is not about politics, "V" (Melanie Griffith) did not end up with a rich person (Like Julia Robers did in "Pretty Woman."), and the money did not burn in a car.What this film is about very lonely, desperate people who are living a very sad, pathetic life, and through fate in the end found happiness. (Major Spoilers Ahead). What actually happened was after getting permission from the local Godfather Jerry The Pope (Phillip Bosco), to exit the prostitution business, "V" was leaving her drab apartment, and heading for places unknown, and as she was closing the door, spotted a bag with a lightening bolt, and found the money inside and because of it, was able to rescue herself, and purchase an environmental sensitive portion of land and gave it to Ed Harris, who was heartbroken over losing "V" and having developers ruin the wetland. As "V" says at the end of the film, 'The way to capture a woman is through her heart.", and because of that, will stay in the town to be with Tom (Ed Harris) & help take care of Frank (Michael Patrick Carter), while owning and running the ice cream shop where she first met Frank. ps. I am very politically conservative, and hate liberal propaganda, and this film is not about that trust me. 10/10 Stars
I saw "Milk Money" when I was eleven; much of what happens in the movie is the sort of stuff that would make any eleven-year-old boy think "Whoa...cool!" Looking back on it, I still think that it was pretty funny, but was it the most mature movie? No, and it doesn't pretend to be. I read somewhere that this movie was sexist; I wouldn't know one way or the other. All that I interpreted was that the movie was a nice, horny excuse to have fun. Richard Benjamin has proved himself to be quite capable as a director, and this adds to that.I know, the prostitute-with-a-heart-of-gold context is a cliché, but this is a comedy, so it passes. And believe you me, this V (Melanie Griffith) is definitely a V for vendetta! Also starring Ed Harris, Malcolm McDowell, Casey Siemaszko, and a very young Anne Heche. Really entertaining, especially the report on the female reproductive system.
