this movie so typifies hollywood . we get ( 1 ) another prostitute who be gorgeous and sweet and with a heart of gold . ( 2 ) the prostitute be nothing but victim of the cruel and abusive male pimp while ( 3 ) kid age 10 12 be obsess with sex ( i be talk about how hollwyood see the culture ) while ( 4 ) there be few high calling than be a tree hugger and this one chain himself to a tree to save some wetland . on and on and on it go in ultra liberal and politically correct and morally clueless hollywood . well and to be fair and the movie do have lot of charm and it always nice to see ed harris actually play against type and meaning play a decent human be . melanie griffith never look well and either . too bad the story be so stupid and insulting .
