This is a tale of two people, one looking for love and the other hiding from it and them finding each other. Michelle plays a beat down woman who has taken off her rose coloured glasses about love a long time ago, while Al plays a man with a new lease on life and not wanting to waste any of it. For him it is love at first sight, but will his persistence keep her or drive her away? A tale that is real and raw, it reveals the other side of Love, dealing with past hurts and insecurities. A beautifully written, well directed, excellently acted movie (with a great and perfectly funny supporting cast)of life after love. A must see!

In some cases I'd say this is better then Pretty Woman. I say "some" with weight because Pretty Woman is a classic. But Milk Money fills that "hole" you had watching pretty woman. Ed Harris's character is sincere and attentive which matches Melanie's softness (which at the best of times can spoil her on screen performances) perfectly. It's a classic boy meets girl movie with that dash of "damsel in distress but is now hardened and tough due to life being so rough and who now finally meets a man who breaks through it all and understands and loves her for who she is" - as far as romantic comedies go- it was better then I thought it would be and even gets the heart strings welling when Ed Harris tells her "this could hurt"...The story itself can be at times almost childish, but in the end that's part of it's charm.
