It's the film that first put Cruise in sunglasses and lit up his 500-watt grin. -- Grade: B+

Writer-director Paul Brickman can therefore be accused of trying to have it both ways, but there's no denying the stylishness and talent of his direction. Full Review

Mr. Brickman's film was and remains a strikingly original combination of biting satire and moody, romantic reverie.

As adolescent adventures go, Risky Business is an invigorating, first-class affair: It manages to make coming of age a witty proposition. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- RISKY BUSINESS stands out from the pack of '80s sex-coms....A wish-fulfilment yarn with a sense of irony.

Rating: 4/4 -- It's funny because it deals with subjects that are so touchy, so fraught with emotional pain, that unless we laugh there's hardly any way we can deal with them -- especially if we are now, or ever were, a teenage boy. Full Review

Product Description:

Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise, in one of his earliest roles) is an average high school senior, apprehensive about starting college, especially with his average test scores. He decides to spice up his last high school summer by taking advantage of his parents being away and throwing a non-stop party. The next thing he knows his house becomes the local brothel thanks to the kind hooker played by Rebecca DeMornay and everything turns out differently from what he planned.
