Line 1:
{{
A 1994 comedy film starring Melanie Griffith, Ed Harris, Anne Heche and [[Malcolm McDowell]] (and a kid that looks like a blond-er Haley Joel Osment). Three pre-teen boys decide they want to see a naked woman, and actually save money to hire a hooker for that purpose (apparently they think that's all they do). They go from the suburbs to the city by themselves and meet one named V (Melanie Griffith) who accepts the deal. After the exchange, the children's bikes are stolen, forcing V to give them a ride home.
Line 5:
There is also a subplot about Frank's father being obsessed with saving a wetland (which is ultimately done with {{spoiler|the stolen money}}).
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: The plot point about Frank failing Sex Ed is dropped once he gives his report.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Green Aesop]]: Because saving a swamp has something to do with zany prostitute misadventures, right?
* [[Harmful to Minors]]: When V shows her breasts, Frank covers his own eyes.
* [[Hooker
* [[Innocent Inaccurate]]
* [[Karma Houdini]]: The three boys. Frank even breaks a number of school codes and laws in a single scene and receives no punishment, even though his teacher witnessed the whole thing.
** That ''may'' have been just a daydream of Frank's. However, see [[Zany Scheme]] below.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Frank's mother died before he was bo-- Er, I mean... [[Death
* [[No Social Skills]]: V isn't very discrete when meeting one of the boys' fathers and pointing out he's a past client of hers ''right in front of his wife''.
* [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]]
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: What the movie tries to do.
* [[Saving the Orphanage|Saving the Wetlands]]: The subplot.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: The film begins with the line, "You ever fart and sneeze at the same time?"
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: They go straight from asking random, fairly respectable looking women if they're prostitutes to going into deserted places with a guy who immediately looks like he'd rob you...which he tries to do.
* [[The Un
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: While the boys are unrealistically stupid, the girls are able to tell V is a prostitute just by looking at her.
* [[Zany Scheme]]: While the kids ''might'' be excused because of their ignorance, and [[Rule of Funny|the whole thing being a comedy]], when V asks Frank's dad to take his pants off before she will explain things, what little common sense the film had flew away.
