Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Frank Wheeler (Michael Patrick Carter) and his two best buddies are determined to solve life’s biggest mystery – women! So they pool their piggy-bank money and head for the big city. Their plan: to peek at a naked lady. The kids hit the jackpot when they meet V (Melanie Griffith), a gorgeous, warmhearted “working girl.” But when Frank looks at V, he sees more than just a beautiful body. He sees the perfect wife for his shy single dad (Ed Harris)! Bringing them together won’t be easy, especially with a ruthless mobster (Malcolm McDowell) chasing V. But as Frank soon discovers, love has a magic all its own.
