A star is born

I can say without hyperbole that this movie marked the stunning introduction of our generation's greatest actor. Not Tom Cruise, who would go on to such one-dimensional roles as an overcompensating F-14 pilot, nor the already well-established, and frequently partially clothed, Rebecca De Mornay. No, I am speaking of the great Curtis Armstrong, who captured the zegiest of the generation that came of age in the 1980s with his Risky Business coda, "Sometimes, you've just got to say what the f---." You see flashes of the brilliance that would later become abundant to all in his starring role as Booger, a cinematic Everyman in the second-greatest film trilogy in film history, the Revenge of the Nerds series, and in his later maturation into a serious dramatic actor, including such emotionally gripping roles as Drunkard #2 in Disney's Huckleberry Finn, which proved that 30 seconds of screen time is more than sufficient to carry a film. Admittedly, Risky Business has its share of trite dialogue and predictable plotting, but it's well worth sitting through it to see the origins of one of cinema's true masters.

A Movie Which Gives False Hope To Major League Geeks!

This movie has something in common with "Pretty Woman " insofar as it glorifies prostitution. And yet again and as always the prostitute in this movie is the mandatory Hollywood beautiful woman without Hepatis B, AIDS or Heroin track marks on her arms. This movie gives false hope to the Major League Geeks of this world that if they can't get a date on Saturday night then all they have to do is ring up a prostitute, have sex with her and then worry about paying her later! If you tried this in REAL LIFE no doubt you would get her 6 foot pimp kicking down your door demanding payment for "services rendered". This is a terrible movie and one has to wonder if a good looking character like Tom Cruise in this movie has to pay for sex then what hope have the rest of us got? I give this movie 5 stars because Ms. De Mornay is hot even though her role in this film did her acting career a great disservice.

Master OF The Rare LASERDISCs Movies.

A Staple of the X Generation

A starmaking movie for Tom Cruise. Wild, funny and absurd. A teen fantasy movie that manages to be a cut above most in its genre. Moodier, sexier and smarter in many ways. Makes Ferris Bueller, 16 Candles & most other teen movies seem quaint and kiddie like by comparison. Where most teen flicks are geared toward the preteen set, RB sets its sights on the decidely more mature adolescent and adult market. A great soundtrack doesn't hurt either. Rebecca De Mornay deserves special mention as a full-time hottie in her best role.

'Risky Business' (Warner Studios) Runiing time: 99 minutes

I remember seeing this movie when it first came to the theaters on Labor Day weekend '83.Saw the flick with two of my elderly aunts.I mean,how tacky is that?Loved seeing/watching this sex comedy again and again.Straight A student Joel(Tom Cruise)tries to avoid his annoying friend's advise on how to 'get lucky' with a hot girl from the newspaper's personal ads.But Miles(Curtis Armstrong-we know him as Booger from 'Revenge Of The Nerds')won't easily give up until he gets Joel a woman.Several twists and situations occur before Joel meets his dream girl,Lana(Rebecca De Mornay)and gets his first lay(memorable scene,by the way).Joel,Miles and Lana later end up in a car chase scene being pursued by Guido,the killer pimp(Joe Pantoliano)who turns out to be Lana's pimp.Just watch the movie,you'll be glad you did.If you can believe it,I still run into people who've NEVER even scene this or several other 'Blockbuster' movies.
