    Entertaining teen comedy with Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay, but disturbingly dishonest

    Risky Business (1983) stars Tom Cruise as a preppy teen from the Chicago suburbs. When his parents leave for a trip, he has the house to himself and enlists the services of a call girl (Rebecca De Mornay), which leads to serious and amusing problems.

    This is the film with the iconic sequence of Cruise lip-syncing in private to Bob Segers "Old Time Rock and Roll." Weve all done it. In any case, Risky Business is similar to Ferris Buellers Day Off (1986), but with the artiness of Less than Zero (1987) minus the melancholy.

    As far as all-around entertainment goes, this is an easy 7/10, but I have to lower my grade due to the glorification ...
