Movie Reviews of Milk Money
Movie Review: GOOD COMING OF AGE/ROMANTIC COMEDY!
Summary: 4 Stars
Entertaining film that starts out like a coming of age movie and ends with a romantic comedy twist. Harris and Griffith gel and the kids are great. This movie didn't break any box office records or share the same success as 'Pretty Woman', but I found it to be just as entertaining. Nice score by one of my favorite composers, Michael Convertino. The DVD transfer looks very good.Movie Review: A Love movie with a twist
Summary: 4 Stars
This is basically a Love Movie with a strange twist. The story is about young boys who go on an adventure in Big City U.S.A. and find more then they could bargain for when they meet up with Melanie Griffith, supporting cast is Ed Harris playing the teacher who wants to save the wetlands but is involved thru his son in a comedy of situations.Movie Review: Cute little movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a happy, fun, silly little chick flick. Great to watch when you want some easy, mindless entertainment.Movie Review: The Dairy Challenge
Summary: 3 Stars
Michael Patrick Carter plays Frank Wheeler, twelve-year old son of Tom Wheeler, a widowed botanist played by Ed Harris. Frank and his two buddies want to see a real-live naked lady, so they scrounge up a hundred bucks and ride their bikes into the city to find a prostitute. Meanwhile, Tom is occupied trying to save a local patch of wetlands.
The kids hook up with "V," played by Melanie Griffith. "V" decides it's okay to show them the goods -- they don't have enough body hair to be dangerous, she says -- and they're thrilled. (It's hard to determine how thrilled Michael Patrick Carter is, since he has a perpetual grin on his face throughout the film.)
The kids' bikes get stolen, so "V" borrows her pimp's car to take them home. Frank tells his dad "V" is a math tutor, and there's a funny exchange between the two where Tom thinks she's talking about mathematics when she's really talking about sex. The two take a liking to each other, and Frank hopes "V" will marry his dad -- her car has broken down, stranding her in the suburbs. Frank stashes her in his treehouse until Tom makes up his mind.
Mucking things up is a ruthless gangster, Waltzer, played by Malcolm McDowell. Waltzer thinks "V" has her pimp's stash of money -- money that Waltzer believes is rightfully his. Waltzer is a cold-blooded killer -- it's pretty much the same character McDowell plays in "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," and his presence really disrupted the lighthearted tone of this film for me.
Anyway, things wrap up tidily by the end, with Frank delivering my favorite last line in movie history, second only to "Caddyshack." If you're a guy who watched "Pretty Woman" two hundred times in high school or are completely insane, you'll probably enjoy watching "Milk Money."
Movie Review: Heart of gold.
Summary: 3 Stars
Milk Money starring Melanie Griffith and Ed Harris is a stupid but cute movie. Griffith plays a hooker with a heart of gold and Harris plays a father who ends up falling for his son's "special" friend. This film doesn't work on so many levels but the chemistry between the two leads makes Milk Money a guilty pleasure. You can't take this movie seriously but it does warm your heart a smidge. Good luck!
