Three young boys pool their money and pay V (Melanie Griffith), 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 (Malcolm McDowell) 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 (Ed Harris), a single father who is unaware of her real profession.

Critics Consensus

Ill-conceived and cheap when it comes to cleverness, Milk Money is more than a few cents short of a good time.

An infantile and sad sex-comedy that should go straight to video release.

1/5

What results is, at best, only a sparingly funny series of mistaken identities and some really distasteful hooker gags delivered by the shocked townsfolk.

6/10

It's difficult to dislike the fun-loving sexuality and adventure, even if it runs on about half-an-hour too long and resolves the predicaments too easily.

It exists largely so the film could be sold as a spicy romantic comedy that you could still show to your grandmother, if your grandmother had no taste.

Milk Money (1994) was a confusing and frustrating movie for me. I went in expecting something funny or at least interesting, but the story never really came together in a way that made sense to me. The tone feels all over the place, and instead of being entertaining, it left me lost and disconnected from what was happening. I also did not find the characters very appealing, and the humor did not work for me at all. A lot of the film felt awkward rather than clever, and it never became engaging enough to hold my attention. Overall, this was a bad viewing experience that left me more confused than impressed. 1/10.

Light and fun film, with that ’90s vibe and without following the politically correct rulebook. Precisely because of that, it entertains and amuses with spontaneity. Worth checking out.

That fact that this vile thing tried to be a heartwarming family movie just hurts me.

The 2 and a half stars is for the nostalgia the film brings to me. I saw this film with my family when I was a little kid and really liked it. For some reason it stuck with me, maybe because I was the kid's age. All of the stars of the film are very charming, and the film has heart. But it also is very problematic now, and very much a product of it's time. The characters are all lovable, but things like having a woman strip for a few 11 year old boys is not a very comfortable thing to witness now. And the sex worker judgements from other characters, while maybe part of the movie's message not to judge, seems very outdated. Also the assumptions that if she is showing cleavage then she must be a sex worker. Overall, if I'm being honest outside of nostalgia, the performances are the only thing keeping this from being a completely problematic disaster. Especially Melanie Griffith's great performance.
