Movie Description
Three pre-teen boys, curious about sex and the female body, diligently save their dollars and cents with high hopes of paying a prostitute willing to bare it all. Instead, when these suburban innocents travel to the big city to fulfill their adolescent dreams, they almost get mugged. But the quick intervention of street-wise hooker V (Melanie Griffith) saves them. And not only that... she does a strip-tease so that they'll have succeeded in their mission, and then drives them safely home. But already one of the boys perceives the heart of gold that lies beneath her tawdry exterior -- and he's decided to marry her off to his widowed dad (Ed Harris).
Synopsis
A romantic comedy about a young boy who, along with his friends, saves his milk money to buy a peek at a beautiful naked prostitute. When she saves him from a mugger he falls in love with more than her body and thinks she would be perfect for his widowed science teacher dad.
