8 ½ Women
After the death of his wife, wealthy businessman Philip Emmenthal and his son Storey open their own private harem in their family residence in Geneva (they get the idea while watching Federico Fellini's 8½ and after Storey is "given" a woman, Simato (Inoh), to waive her pachinko debts). They sign one-year contracts with eight (and a half) women to this effect. The women each have a gimmick (one is a nun, another a kabuki performer, etc.). Philip soon becomes dominated by his favourite of the concubines, Palmira, who has no interest in Storey as a lover, despite what their contract might stipulate. Philip dies, the concubines' contracts expire, and Storey is left alone with Giulietta (the titular "½", played by Fujiwara) and of course the money and the houses.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Milk Money (1994) is a film that focuses on a group of young friends who want to go to the city and see a naked lady.... so they begin to collect money so they can go and see one. Once they save up the money and go find a hooker named V (Melanie Griffith), they pay her and she shows them her breasts. But things take an unexpected turn when her, I guess you'd it call it her pimp, gets into some hot water and she steals his car to take the boys back home. When she takes them back home, she decides to stay for a while due to some dangerous people that are now looking for her thanks to her pimp. The acting is well done by Ed Harris and Melanie Griffith, and they make great romantic interests for one another, good chemistry. The whole film is very sweet and has an endearing tone to it. It has comedy, a romance that works, and characters you'll love. 8/10.

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.

Melanie Griffith,(V) 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 entire story quite 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. This is a very entertaining film and you can find fault with this film whether you are on the left or right side in life, but comedy and laughs are good for everyone and I recommend this film for great viewing.

Just seen the movie on DVD and found it amusing. Not a masterpiece but a nice way to show your kids in the age of Frank ( main child actor in this Movie) what's the world is like out there, with prostitutes that can look like Grace Kelly or your dead mother. With a "lively" biology lesson and with dreams to get a mother, that wants to get out of dirty business, for your father that tries to save irreplaceble environment all come true. Ed Harris en Melanie Griffith did a good job and Melanie still look 20 years younger. She could start in the business tomorrow, although she will not need to. Lets not forget Michael Patrick Carter, which is certainly talented enough to continue his career
