Risky Business
Joel Goodson is the type of teenager who makes his parents proud: he's nice, handsome, intelligent, and even principled. But when Joel's parents leave town for a few days, a series of events occur that will change Joel's sheltered life. For starters, he meets Lana, a hooker who proceeds to deflower our young hero, and then suggests he turn his home into a house of prostitution for one evening. Joel agrees, and just as sexy hookers and randy guys turn Joel's house upside down, a representative from Princeton University arrives, to interview Joel! How Joel handles this and other crises (losing his dad's Porsche, the loss of all his furniture, falling in love with a prostitute) will alter Joel's life forever.

"...Appealingly personal and humorously observant....[The] premise is provocative, and [the] storytelling is approached in a manner that often proves fresh and unpredictable..."

The American Dream
I haven't enjoyed a film so much for years.
Forget your recent American Pie(s), Road Trip etc, etc. This is the original adolescent movie. Quite... read more » - 305987

outdated poor rated
An 80s nostalgia film that makes you wonder how he came to be a leading Hollywood actor, but bearable for a Friday night in with a takeaway.

Top 10 Tom Cruise
- 09 Aug 2010
Tom Cruise’s personal life may have come under fire in recent years but his career still continues to impress. Back in the 80s, the U.S. actor made a name for himself by flashing his pins in a shirt and sunglasses. He has since made the impossible possible, donned prosthetic hands to play an egotistical producer, with a penchant for rap music and ditched the Hollywood persona to play a hit-man. It was no mean feat, but we managed to skim down Cruise’s films to a succinct top 10...... Read more
