User Reviews

Entertaining and very endearing

Milk Money (1994) is a film that focuses on a group of young friends who want to go to the city and see a naked lady.... so they begin to collect money so they can go and see one. Once they save up the money and go find a hooker named V (Melanie Griffith), they pay her and she shows them her breasts. But things take an unexpected turn when her, I guess you'd it call it her pimp, gets into some hot water and she steals his car to take the boys back home. When she takes them back home, she decides to stay for a while due to some dangerous people that are now looking for her thanks to her pimp. The acting is well done by Ed Harris and Melanie Griffith, and they make great romantic interests for one another, good chemistry. The whole film is very sweet and has an endearing tone to it. It has comedy, a romance that works, and characters you'll love. 8/10.
