Review of Risky Business (1983) by Manu G — 05 Aug 2011

There's a time for playing it safe and a time for Risky Business.

Good 80's movie. This was one of the first movies done by Tom Cruise and it was like seeing him in any movie, his character, his swagger and his acting skills all were great never changed. The story was okay not really much to say there, just a typical movie from the 80's that was just crazy and memorable.

Left alone in the wealthy northern Chicago suburbs with the family house and Porsche at his disposal, Joel, through his scheming friends, finds himself entertaining to-die-for lady-of-the-night Lana. After meeting Joel's enthusiastic friends, Lana spots a business opportunity, and suggests bringing in some of her equally stunning colleagues. Joel is aghast at such an idea, at least until the Porsche accidentally falls into Lake Michigan, requiring a quick infusion of ready cash.
