Is the film a satire of consumerism or an example of it? It’s both and the better for it.

Risky Business, a movie about a nice boy losing his virginity, is a first-time director's clear failure that I normally wouldn't get belligerent about, but the picture is so confused, so strange, and so openly corrupt that I can't resist.

One of the finest film explorations of the end of innocence.

Risky Business is entertaining and though would never have worked outside its release era, there’s still many laughs to be had.
