Leave your thoughts about Risky Business.
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithA classic! Welcome to stardom Mr. Cruise. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe very best thing about the movie is its dialogue. Paul Brickman, who wrote and directed, has an ear so good that he knows what to leave out. |
| Film ThreatBrad LaidmanA taut, bitter, sharp and nearly flawless film. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrTaking off from the format of a typical teenage sex comedy, Brickman deepens the characters and tightens the situations, filming them in a dark, dreamlike style full of sinuous camera movements and surrealistic insinuations. Brickman found a tone I hadn't encountered previously - one of haunting, lyrical satire. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullThe roots of American Beauty can all be found in this groundbreaking film. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseIt's easy to forget the idiosyncracies of a film that so successfully trades on adolescent male fantasies and nightmares. [Blu-ray] |
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerIt's sexy, smart and funny, but also stylish and filled with social satire and commentary on the culture of money. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFor writer/director Paul Brickman, this was a case of being in the right place at the right time and, perhaps most importantly, getting the right leading man in place. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattIt works well as a comedy but one cringes at the thought that it defined, for a while, the social expectations of a generation. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottRisky Business is like a promising first novel, with all the pros and cons that come with that territory. |
