Milk Money

About This Movie

Milk Money kind of dances between comedy and drama, which is a neat balance that Richard Benjamin manages. The premise is quirky and a bit offbeat, with three boys who pool their allowance to pay a prostitute, V, to strip for them. It’s not as crass as it sounds; the tone has this sort of light-hearted innocence, even as it explores adult themes. It has an interesting pacing, not rushing through the laughs but letting the moments breathe. The performances, especially by Melanie Griffith as V, add a layer of depth that keeps it from being just a silly romp. Plus, the suburban backdrop creates this unique contrast against the chaos that follows her. It's a curious little film that takes unexpected turns.
