After befriending a kind-hearted prostitute, a 12-year-old boy attempts to set her up with his widowed father in this
family comedy. Young
Frank Wheeler (
Michael Patrick Carter) first meets working girl
V (
Melanie Griffith) when he and two friends pool their money to buy a glimpse of a naked woman.
V does the job and agrees to drive
Frank home; along the way, he becomes convinced that this nice call girl would be the perfect new wife for his dad (
Ed Harris).
V happens to be on the run from a group of evil gangsters, so when he invites her to stay at their house in the suburbs, she readily agrees. Masquerading as a math tutor, she strikes a chord with
Mr. Wheeler, but this budding
romance is soon threatened by the return of
V's past. Despite the potentially off-color premise,
Milk Money aims to be innocuous
family fare, with juvenile jokes mixing with unthreatening
romance.
