Editorial Review:
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
High school senior is tired of being Mr. All-American and facing such traumatic decisions as which Ivy League college to attend. His life gets turned around when he meets a sexy call girl who transforms his house into a brothel while his parents are away.

Rating: - Risky Business DVD
For those of us who grew up and were in high school in the 80's, especially the early 80's I think this is a great movie. Tom Cruise is great as Joel Goodsen, he projects the kind of innocence that I think a lot of us who grew up in the burbs in the 80's had. That time was kind of a throwback, although there was a little drug use such as the pot in the movie, I think the drug culture was not as big as in the mid 60's and 70's. AIDS had still not hit yet. Reagan was king and most kids were nice kids ... Read More
Rating: - The Girl Next Door Of The 1980's
When I first obtained this movie I didn't know what to expect. Many times I saw this movie lying for rent in blockbuster, it had a catchy cover but the synopsis of the back cover never caught my attention. It wasn't until one of my friends gave away a whole bunch of 80's flicks and guess what? Risky business was there; so I went ahead and gave it a chance.
For those who are unfamiliar with the story of the movie then don't worry it's quite simple. The movie's plot revolves around the character ... Read More
Rating:  - Tom Cruise acting like an idiot....didn't need to buy the film for that!
This was a Christmas gift, because I once mentioned I was curious to see the famous scene where young Tom Cruise is dancing in his underwear to rock'n'roll. It's the only scene I bothered to watch, because I pretty much napped throughout the rest.
And I don't think we need to go out and buy this film, ladies and gentlemen, to see Mr. Cruise as the Dancing Fool, because there are, after all, going to be reruns of Oprah on...
Rating: - Sexy and entertaining as all get out! 4 stars.
The hooker's name was Laina, right? Boy, did she like to screw him good! On the chair, in the train. They did it everywhere except in the bed, for god's sake! Actually, they might have been on the bed at one point.
I just wish that Tom would've got nude too. It could have been hot!
But the movie is very, very solid. The hooker, Laina makes things interesting and there is barely any dull moments. Little does Tom know that she's a hooker with a thirst for expensive things. She ends up ... Read More
