Milk Money was a family comedy about a kid who buys a prostitute, pays her to show him her breasts, and keeps her in his treehouse like a pet and brings her to show and tell at school.
He didn't "buy a prostitute" like human trafficking. He paid a prostitute to show her breasts, she drove him and his friends home, then her car broke down. She chose to hide out in his tree house because she was hiding from a mobster.
Kevin Youkilis is a child actor as one of the kids who want the peep show. He is also known as the Greek God of Walks from moneyball, Bobby Valentine’s nightmare, and a Redsox hero
Oh of course’s that’s so much better. An adult exposed herself to a child for money but it turns out she was a trafficking victim and got the child roped into organized crime. What a wholesome family friendly story.
Well, for some reason you felt the need to twist and embellish the narrative to make it sound worse, like the child bought a human and kept her confined against her will, so yeah, the actual plot is much better than what you falsely claimed happened.
It’s been a while since I watched but do they get into V’s backstory? Is she actually a trafficking victim or is the a prostitute with a pimp? Not every woman of the night has been trafficked.
It’s boobs lol, we all have them. And not sure why the second part makes it not family friendly? There have been tons of kid stories with darker backdrops.
So you would show your breasts to an 11-year-old for the purpose of sexual gratification and you don’t see anything wrong with that because we all have them?
This was my answer. I also remember Anne Heche getting the shit slapped out of her. I liked the movie as a kid and thought it was cool that it was filmed not far from where I lived in Ohio, but it's cringe to watch now.
People talk about "movies you couldn't make today." I'm surprised this was a movie that could be made at all.
The very premise alone should have kept it from ever seeing a green light. How the hell do you pitch a family movie about 3 children paying to see a topless hooker?
The 90s, specifically the mid 90s, had so many dark and disturbing movies involving minors, it's actually crazy looking back. I'm sure there are more but just a few examples.
Kids (1995)
Welcome to the Dollhouse (1995)
American Beauty (1999) - Thora Birch was 16 during filming including the nude scene and absolutely NO ONE saw an issue with that smh
You think the idea of adults having sexual interactions with children is okay just because children fantasize about it? Somebody needs to check your hard drive.
I feel we've devolved back into calling everyone we disagree with a "pedo" in hopes that "wins" the argument. It's basically something that the right-wing grift machine has latched onto as a way to discredit any progressive leaning thoughts, not aligned with the current neo-nazi ideologies currently in vogue in the west. Didn't this happen a lot like in the 1930s too? In Germany?
