Milk Money is a 1994 American romantic comedy film that follows the story of a group of young boys who are searching for a woman to provide them with their first sexual experiences. They set their sights on a woman who they refer to as the "Venus de Milo," who they frequently spy on through binoculars. One day, after one of their spying sessions, they witness a man attempting to mug Venus in a subway station. The boys jump in to help, and Venus gives the boys a ride home to thank them for their help.
During the car ride, the boys come up with a plan to pay Venus $100 to show them her breasts. However, the plan goes awry when Venus misunderstands the boys' intentions and thinks that they want her to sleep with them. Upon realizing their mistake, the boys quickly amend their request to simply learning about sex from her. Venus, amused by the boys' interest and curious about their lives, agrees to their request and begins to form a friendship with them.
Meanwhile, the boys' parents are dealing with their own romantic complications. Frank (Ed Harris) is a widower and single father who is struggling to connect with his son, while his neighbor and childhood friend, Betty (Melanie Griffith), is dealing with her unhappy marriage. Frank becomes infatuated with Venus after meeting her, despite the disapproval of his son and Betty. As Frank and Venus become closer, Betty becomes increasingly jealous and suspicious of their relationship.
The film deals with themes of sexuality, love, and friendship, as the characters navigate their complicated relationships. While the film has been criticized for its premise and portrayal of women, it has also been praised for its lighthearted humor and the performances of the cast. Michael Patrick Carter, who plays one of the young boys, was particularly acclaimed for his portrayal of the endearing and curious Woody, who is eager to understand the mysteries of love and sex.
Overall, Milk Money is a charming and nostalgic romantic comedy that explores the complexities of human relationships and the universal desire for connection and understanding.
