Risky Business Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooAugust 23, 2025Plays on young straight guys' fantasy and the reprecussions. Young Cruise is the charismatic lead needed. And Mornay is the dream girl.
- SandyOlson78March 15, 2026Is it true that Megan Mullally is in it? It was interesting, but it felt like the whole movie was just it getting to the point.
- CubaneDecember 1, 2025Some of this movie is pretty cringe and weird, but the soundtrack and atmosphere more than make up for it.
- EdwardOctober 22, 2025Ferris Bueller's Day Off meets Tom Cruise basically. It's a solid comedy with some predictable twists.
- Film-buffJune 15, 2025It's a classic! I knew when it came out in '83 Cruise was going to be a star!
