Milk Money

Tucson Weekly

DIRECTED BY: Richard Benjamin

REVIEWED: 01-05-95

The title, a double entendre, refers to the scenario at the beginning of the film, when three pre-pubescent suburban boys save up their Milk Money in order to pay a prostitute to expose her breasts. The inanity continues when one of the boys decides the prostitute would make a good wife for his widowed father, and begins scheming to set them up. Director Richard Benjamin, Ed Harris (as the dad) and Melanie Griffith (as the ho) work hard to cover up the bad taste of the story with a quality production, but that only makes the movie doubly absurd, like a cheap whore in an extravagantly expensive dress.
