Review of Risky Business (1983) by Tyler B — 01 Aug 2015
One of, if not the best, teen film of the 80's this movie isn't your average teen flick. Unlike the Hughes films which simplified things so teens could get them this appeals to many groups and is smart, stylish, and subtle. It's dark yes but it's enjoyable and you connect well with the characters. We have all been like Joel in our lives: confused, restless, afraid of adulthood, and determined. He goes through a complete manhood experience in the period of the film. He is finally a man by the end not a teen anymore.
The score is outstanding (prob the best of the 80's, if not the best one of the best anyways,) and mixed with the song soundtrack it fits very well. The writing and dirrecting is very sharp and it's well cast. Tom and Rebecca are excellent as are the other well known supporting actors.
You can't have an 80's film or teen film marathon without watching this one. If you have never seen it your in for a treat.
