Michael Patrick Carter plays Frank, a pre-teen living with his widowed father (Ed Harris). Frank and his little buddies save up their milk money and allowances to see what a naked lady looks like. They decide to go into the city and rent a hooker.
The trip for the boys turns into a mess. A sympathetic call girl, played by Melanie Griffith, ends up escaping to the suburbs and hiding in Frank's tree house. She is trying to break away from her boss and the business. Frank's lonely father is given the impression the call girl is one of his son's school teachers. Being a thoughtful son, Frank tries to hook up the hooker with his dad.
Harris doesn't get a good chance to expand in this role. On the other hand, Griffith seemed to be at her best. Also in this pleasant movie are Malcolm McDowell and Anne Heche. Situational humor.
