Risky Business. Joel Goodsen (Tom Cruise) is a good kid. He's looking to get into a top college. When his parents go out of town, he gets the house to himself. A friend pulls a prank, which results in a male prostitute showing up at the house. Joel extracts himself from the situation, but the male prostitute passes on a phone number before heading out the door. The phone belongs to a very beautiful prostitute named Lana (Rebecca De Mornay). One thing leads to another and Joel is in sudden need of money. The result: his house gets turned into a temporary brothel.
This is an entertaining movie about youth and making some nutty decisions driven by lack of experience and surviving the results. Of course, one would think that at some point when the parents returned home that the neighbors would happen to mention that there was a big party scene going on at the home -- but in this movie that likely happened after the end credits rolled pass.
Acting: dare I say that Tom Cruise at times actually looked a bit unsure? I just say that, because in his more recent movies (I still do enjoy watching Tom Cruise movies even after his jumping on the couch moment) he just seems so darn confident.
Rebecca De Mornay: so beautiful; however, when she first entered the movie I couldn't help but think that there was some degree of CGI. I know that isn't true, but when she enters in the shadows of night she almost looks like a female robot.
