After befriending a kind-hearted prostitute, a 12-year-old boy attempts to set her up with his widowed father in this family comedy. Young Frank Wheeler (Michael Patrick Carter) first meets working girl V (Melanie Griffith) when he and two friends pool their money to buy a glimpse of a naked woman. This movie made me feel dirty inside with a horrible feeling that I can't get out of me. the movie is awkward and all over the place.

That old hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold that only exists in film. If it's supposed to be romantic or funny, it never works particularly well on either level. I never connected with it, and I never will.

V (Melanie Griffith) played a woman of the streets who meets up with three boys who want to see what a girl looks like in the nude. Of course, if they really wanted to do it the correct way, they could ask their dad's and possibly their mothers. However, this is a Hollywood film and it made the story pretty funny, especially when they have a sex education class and decided to use a rather non-kosher way of presenting the facts. Ed Harris,(Tom Wheeler) plays the father to Michael Patrick Carter,(Frank Wheeler) who gets to be good friends with Melanie Griffith and introduces her to his father. Over all this isn't a bad movie, its one that has its moments.
