Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
Little did Tom Cruise know that he would become a box-office superstar after he cranked up some Bob Seeger and played air guitar in his underwear. But there's more to this 1983 hit than the arrival of a hot young star. Making a stylish debut, writer-director Paul Brickman crafted a subtle satire of crass materialism wrapped in an irresistible plot about a crafty high schooler named Joel (Cruise) who goes into risky business with the beguiling prostitute Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) while his parents are out of town. Joel turns his affluent Chicago-suburb home into a lucrative bordello and forms a steamy personal and professional partnership with Lana, but only as long as the two can avoid the vengeful pimp Guido (Joe Pantoliano) and keep their customers happy. A signature film of the 1980s, Risky Business still holds up thanks to Cruise's effortless charm and the movie's timeless appeal as an adolescent male fantasy. --Jeff Shannon

Tom's cute-but thats about it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Risky Business (VHS Tape)
Being the Tom Cruise fan that I am, it's tempting to write a laudatory review saying how great this movie is. However, after seeing it, the only really good part I can think of is when Tom dances around in his underwear. Though that scene is definately a classic that melts the hearts of Tom Cruise fans everywhere, the rest of the movie is just not worth watching. Keep in mind that at a party where there are a lot of people and a lot of joking around, this movie would be fun. Just don't watch it at home with just one friend, it won't be keep your attention. I give this movie three stars because, though not one that I would recommend, there are memorable lines and things that every teenager secretly wishes they had the nerve to do.
