Movie synopsis

Movie trailer and editorial reviews

"...Appealingly personal and humorously observant....[The] premise is provocative, and [the] storytelling is approached in a manner that often proves fresh and unpredictable..."
Variety - Cart. (07/27/1983)

"...Morally dubious, effortlessly charming..."
Total Film - Daniel Webb (08/01/2003)

"It's the film that first put Cruise in sunglasses and lit up his 500-watt grin." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly - Benjamin Svetkey (10/03/2008)

"Mr. Brickman's film was and remains a strikingly original combination of biting satire and moody, romantic reverie."
New York Times - Dave Kehr (10/06/2008)

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."
Total Film - Rob James (11/01/2008)

4 stars out of 5 -- "RISKY BUSINESS might well be the smartest teen satire ever made....The capitalism is tempered by great performances, real raunch and a terrific Tangerine Dream score."
Empire - William Thomas (12/01/2008)

RISKY BUSINESS (DVD,1997

Created: 17/07/09
THERE'S A TIME FOR PLAYING IT SAFE AND A TIME FOR...RISKY BUSINESS. "VERY FUNNY EXTREMELY EROTIC...AND SMART." MEET JOEL GOODSEN. INDUSTRIOUS, COLLEGE-BOUND 17-YEAR-OLD. RESPONSIBLE, TRUSTWORTHY SON. BUT HE'S BEEN GOOD FOR TOO LONG. JOEL'S PARENTS ARE AWAY AND HE'S IN CHARGE OF THE HOUSE. THEY TRUST HIM. MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T. "ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN COMEDIES OF RECENT YEARS" RISKY BUSINESS SLYLY EXPLORES THE TEEN DILEMMA OF GROWING UP GOOD-HEARTED BUT GUILT-RIDDEN. IN HIS STARMAKING ROLE AS JOEL, (TOM CRUISE) IS A CHARMER-WITH-CONSCIENCE THAT FORESHADOWS JERRY MAGUIRE. REBECCA DE MORNAY MAKES A DYNAMIC MOVIE DEBUT AS LIBERATED CALL GIRL LANA.

good movie starring a young Tom Cruise & Rebecca DeMornay. The movie in where he made those sunglasses famous. And of course she has a very sexy role that she performs to the best of her ability. Fun film!

Risky Business

Created: 01/03/08
This is an early Tom Cruise movie, who like almost every young man thinks about losing his virginity. But he nor anybody else would have ever dreamed of losing it the way he did. It many areas it is comical how he gets into some of the situations and how he gets out of them.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and laughed at some of the more arkward situations thinking back to my own early years.

There are some sexual content and situations so parents should be mindful when watching it with their children. On the other hand, it could be viewed as an excellent way to begin up the subject of sex and how to deal with the matter in a easy and comical way without becoming to embarrassing for either party.

Another Cruise Classic!

Created: 11/08/07
This is one movie that will be in my DVD library for life. Tom Cruise at his finest! It has all the ingredients of making this a teen genre classic with drugs, pimps, sex and all the drama to boot. I liked it a lot and would recommend it to all!!
