Risks Business fimnv flick by John W. Bast Imprint staff Want to see a funny movie? I wanted to, and didn’t expect to, until Risky Business got past the opening credits. I thought I was going to see a typical summer movie - you know, the highschool kid meets a knowledgeable woman and comes away with some battle scars, but at least a lot moreexperienced (in the Biblical sense). One doesn’t particularly see why such movies have Restricted ratings, because the amount of nudity shown is\ minimal (usually it’s seen through a diffusion filter) and so-called “erotic” scenes are old hat to high school kids anyway. So if there’s nothing titillating, and nothing new plot-wise, why bother to keep on making them? Because, possibly just as~a happy accident, you might get a Risky Business. Themoviebeginsnormallyenough-akid’sparents(Joelisthe kid, played by Tom Cruise) are going away for two weeks. He’ll have the house to himself, and about $200 in food money to play with. His father’s Porsche is unguarded. He’s conservative enough at first, but of course his friends urge him on to more script that outdistances the Porky’s movies and My Tutor, interesting territory. acting that is suited very well to the script, and a lot of honest There are lots of nice little “bits” in this movie. The kid pours laughs, as well as what is perhaps a better insight into teenage himself about eight ounces of what is clearly whiskey - a first boyhood than similar works can to provide. step into violation of parental edicts. The audience laughs. The If there is a major fault here, it lies in over-simplification of camera pulls back to show us what he’s going to drink is Chivis characters; all hookers do not have heartsofgold; teen-age boys Regal. The audience roars. Then he mixes in Coke. The are not gullible all the time (even though their priorities are audience laughs, stomps its feet, and makes noises like they of different!), and ali pimps do not have hearts of gold -even if they extreme amusement. (Perhaps you had to be there). wield snub-nosed revolvers and sure look mean. The top priorities of the highschool male (and most everyone But, shucks, strict accuracy has never been a problem for else) are sex,. money, and sex. Naturally, Joel’s thoughts movies, and Risky Business is fun. And it’s nice to see a happy ebventually turn to these goals. Joel’s chum encourages him to ending, even if the truth has to be stretched to cover it. Risky Business was, at press time, playing at the Waterloo consult a professional. (Enough mincing words. He calls a hooker). Theatre in Waterloo. Unfortunately, the classified ad he answers is not quite for him - the woman involved is a big black woman (Joel isa small white boy) so that doesn’t panout quitecorrectly; but the woman hasa heart of gold (look, this movie is a semi-fantasy) and she gives him the number of a girl who should suithimjust fine.) Naturally, this is just the beginning of his troubles. Joel becomes infatuated with the new girl (she’s very good at her job); but his illusions are shattered when she steals a valuable objet d’art from his parent’s house: He (surprise!) tracks her down, saves her from her pimp (Guido - anybody in a movie named Guido should be suspect) and lets her stay (“Just for the night”) at his house. He doesn’t know what he’s got himself into. In fact, that is probably the theme of the movie - Joel’s time is spent getting into situations he doesn’t quite know how to handle, and then getting out of them. The major situation has to do with his hooker friend convincing him that he needs real money fast (well, he’sdumped his dad’s car by now; she’s right) and her friends can help him get it (plus a percentage for themselves - all the rich boys in the neighbourhood have bonds and savings accounts, of course. . .). This, in sympathy with the genre, works out well enough for awhile . . . until Guido rears his ugly head again . . . I’m not going to spoil it for you. All that’s necessary to say is, this movie offers an adequate number of titillating scenes, a
