Pi-y In some cases I'd say this is better then Pretty Woman. I say "some" with weight because Pretty Woman is a classic. But Milk Money fills that "hole" you had watching pretty woman. Ed Harris's character is sincere and attentive which matches Melanie's softness (which at the best of times can spoil her on screen performances) perfectly. It's a classic boy meets girl movie with that dash of "damsel in distress but is now hardened and tough due to life being so rough and who now finally meets a man who breaks through it all and understands and loves her for who she is" - as far as romantic comedies go- it was better then I thought it would be and even gets the heart strings welling when Ed Harris tells her "this could hurt"...The story itself can be at times almost childish, but in the end that's part of it's charm.

rikki flores why anyone would give this movie anything more than a 1 rating is beyond me.It is filled to the brim with clichés, terrible acting, a bad script, and just badness. C'mon, a hooker with a heart of gold? Again?!?! I watched this with my family when I was 12, because we lived in a town with one theater that showed one movie, and only on the weekends. We would go every week, no matter what was showing. We agreed unanimously that this was the worst piece of drivel that has ever been created. We still pretty much stand by that judgment.I won't go so far as saying that this movie was created by Satan, but it has such a concentration of raw evil and bile underneath it's lily white veneer, that I wouldn't be surprised if Lucifer's hoof marks weren't all over this one.Shame on anyone who gives this movie a 3 or better.

Andreas Niedermayer To be honest, this is one of the movies I thoroughly enjoyed when I first watched it. Of course it is a simple and predictable story, but the actual transformation did it for me. The three boys are awesome. The way Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris fall in love with each other and how they find together despite unfavorable circumstances is nicely staged. Michael Patrick Carter is able to assert his character's emotional condition, his expectations and dreams, which puts this movie above the average family story, despite the hackneyed elements it may have. The happy end is indeed rather corny, but hey, the movie has a message, it is entertaining and funny. Thus you may watch this movie with your entire family.

OliverGbyrne I don't think that film is too bad,of course it's not the most interesting film I ever saw but I don't think it was the point of that movie. The all film turns around Frank (nicely played by Michael Patrick),He never knew his mum because she died giving birth to him,OK just to say with a plot like that the film could have been a catastrophe but because the character of Frank was played well enough it did'nt. In other Family drama with that kind of story the kid is always moaning and crying because he dos'nt know his mum or dad but Frank look more curious than depressed,Is acting like a real kid would in that situation,It's a simple but good thing about that film.And there is V,I don't agree with the comments which said she was a prostitute with a heart of gold far from it,V is very lost and she have very low self esteem.I think Melanie Griffith was lovely as V and it was different from character she usually play.Nothing to say with Ed Harris,he did is best with very little to work with because we have to admit it that the Dad is a very flat and boring character.The character of Anne Heche was supposed to be comic it was'nt instead you were wondering what the hell she was doing in that movie,the same go for Malcolm Mcdowell.the film turns around the relationship between V and Frank which is well played by both Mickael and Melanie. Of course their is some annoying scenes with Frank's Friends and Heche/Macdowell but I think the film is what it was meant to be, a heart warming family film and I had quite a relaxing one hours and a half watching it.
