Smokemsj Is a genius. A visual masterpiece, and one of the most underrated movies of the genre to ever be made. It's too bad Brickman only made one movie in the 80's, and walked away from Hollywood for 7 years due to the success of the film. Do yourself a favor, rewatch it again...

bernardcohen-51522 If you were to dare to look at Tom Cruise and his body of work you will see his acting is a tired act. He plays the same role. He is an arrogant jerk who learns the errors of his ways. In this film however he becomes arrogant but he is still a jerk.This film is not as funny as people tell you. Scientology people just hit the imdb boards all the time to prop up members and the films they are in. "Magnolia" is a great example of a terrible film with a high IMDB rating that was speared headed by Tom's church of the warped mind. Now this film is all about how in a short amount of time a teenager from the suburbs turn his parents home into a brothel. He is also trying to get into a college and lears how to cuss at the same time.Has a few laughs. My guess is Tom Cruise put a sock in his underwear for his famous dance sequence.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues Before became a star Tom Cruise made this high class sexy dramatic comedy and the movie overcame all expectation in box office,the teen sexy comedies at this period of time were silly and totally disposable instead Risck Business which was clever and sophisticated,made for mature brains,the chemistry between Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay was the main reason of the success and non appealing format help to much to raise to another degree,Tom was grateful to do this picture and after more than thirty years this comedy still shines Resume:First watch: 1989 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-Cable TV-Blu-ray / Rating: 7.5

Marian20 The United States have gone a long way since Risky Business was considered a classic film that launched Tom Cruise's career as an actor.When the film was released,it was every teen-age boy fantasy to have the house on their own without their parents.Unfortunately,today's youth want a lot more than what Joel Goodman experienced in this film when his parents went away for vacation leaving him the full responsibility of the house and managed to have a lot of misadventures like driving his dad's Porsche and being able to deal with pimps and hookers.This was definitely a good comedy back in the 80's but not by today's standards.Many would even find it corny or worse even boring.But nevertheless,it is good to look back on how things were back then as compared today's time wherein it would take a lot to elicit lots of laughter from the average American due to the economic situation and difficulties that he is currently facing. It would be great to appreciate this film back when it won't take that much for the average American to laugh.Aside from the laughs,it was also a great movie that has great themes such as materialism,greed,getting into college and meeting the high standards set up by one's parents.
