"The Graduate" for the Reagan generation, "Risky Business" is a seminal teen movie coated in a oily 80s sheen.

With his parents, a Chicago teen lives every adolescent male's fantasy - but when it goes too far and his father's Porche ends up at the bottom of a lake, he'll have to get creative to raise enough money to fix the problem. Risky Business is one of those movies that people seen and loved but I am the one who think the movie is alright.

80s comedy of manners that enjoys a cult following, but I found unfunny and uninvolving. And like Pretty Woman, seems to be suggesting that the best way for a woman to get what she wants is to become a prostitute.

This sex comedy manages to avoid the usual sophomoric humor and actually provides a fairly interesting coming-of-age story. Cruise exhibits his first signs of super-stardom with this performance and the film should at least be watched for its iconic, Bob Seger-scored floor-sliding scene.

More sophisticated than the teen movies of the 80's. There's more to this story than the usual 'getting laid'. Cruise shows he was meant to be a star right from the beginning.

It was an interesting idea for a movie. But, I thought that it was just "ok."

Tom Cruise is young and horny. He's left alone in the house and does what every teenager would do. He turns his house into a brothel and falls in love with a prostitute. It has that classic 80's feel to it, and it does have some charm but towars the end, it meanders, and lacks bite. Overall though, its worth a watch.

Some times you gotta say....A great top cruise performance, great 80's music, fast car, big house, and a lot of friends make this fantastic. Honestly, it gets better with each viewing. Cruise fans have to check this out.

The ultimate male teen fantasy - alone at home, one fast car and one hot woman. Even when things go wrong, you know it's going to come out all right in the end. Early Tom Cruise at his best.
