Risky Business (1983)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 99m
Director: Paul Brickman
Cast: Tom Cruise, Rebecca de Mornay, Joe Pantoliano

Synopsis:

With his parents out of town a high school kid orders in a prostitute.

Review:

Sanitised and materialistic look at first love, peddling the myth that steamy sex and even love are possible with a prostitute while relishing the opportunity to put glamorous bodies and sentiment on display for an eager adolescent audience. Fitfully amusing as a sort of 'adult' Ferris Bueller, though the absence of an ironic tone in fact makes it more childish. It did kick-start Cruise's career, though.
