This feelgood romantic comedy is short on laughs, sexual chemistry, and the thriller subplot won't produce any white knuckles.

Reviews for Milk Money
Top CriticSour is not the word for it. The milk obtained from this money is positively rancid.
01/01/00
Some movies just don't know when enough is enough.
01/01/00
Every bit as misguided as its appalling premise would suggest.
10/28/03
I can hear the pitch for this one: 'a sex comedy for the whole family.'
01/05/04
I don't want to spoil it for you, but let's just say the gangster doesn't get what he wants, and true love saves the day.

Top CriticRidiculous, tasteless, offensive and unfunny, Milk Money was the perfect final film to see in this string of losers. It made all the others seem better.
01/01/00
With a tip of the hat to the performers, this is a misguided comedy with Hall of Shame pedigree. Its commercial prospects are quick, down and dirty.
03/26/09
Top CriticRichard Benjamin, laboring under the idea that this is an enchanting premise, directs such episodes as if he were Norman Rockwell in a trenchcoat.

Top CriticQuestion: Will Hollywood ever retire the Hooker With a Heart of Gold?
01/01/00
It can not make up its mind if it is a movie for the early teen set or its target audience is grownups.
01/01/00
John Mattson's script is every bit as silly as it sounds; it dawdles, stumbles, stalls, embarrasses both itself and the audience, and is routinely formulaic to boot.
08/03/09
A preposterous movie about a boy, a babe and a car, all of them functioning minimally in what is essentially a showcase for Melanie Griffith's body.
01/01/00
This execrable film sinks ever lower as its dirty joke of a plot unfolds.
08/03/09
Top CriticLike PRETTY WOMAN, it's a trite and unrealistic "Hookers have feelings too" movie.
03/19/03
Not bad enough that it's witless and bland, but what a waste of Ed Harris!
