Risky Business
(1983)

60%

A good film about the interface between money and sex in Western culture. Ccorrectly assessing that prostitution is a business like any other - so long as the emotions are not engaged - young virgin White males are charged for satisfying their fear-laden curiosity about women's bodies and their own sexuality. All good clean fun but the characterization is rather thin and the themes of White sexuality, the lack of trust in business and the negative affects of controlling-parents are largely unexplored. Not as good as Porky's but then what teen comedy is - or is ever likely to be?
