I saw "Risky Business" over the weekend and left disappointed.
It wasn't that bad a movie it just wasn't as great as all of
the reviews I had heard.  It had several funny episodes and
was produced well, but I thought that many of the "off-color"
scenes were either unnecessary or dragged on too long and
seemed to have been added only for shock value.
Another objection I have is that, like many movies you see today,
~= FLAME ON =~
they condone/reward illegal, immoral or otherwise wrong behavior.
Joel gets away with prostitution - engaging in it, supporting it
and convincing lots of friends (many of whom were minors) to
also contribute to it; reckless driving - not only driving like
a maniac down city streets, but dumping the Porsche into Lake
Michigan, a bit of drug use, etc.
And what happens for all this?  He gets away with everything,
(the worst that happens is his Mother finds the crystal egg
cracked), he gets a "girlfriend", and, HE GETS INTO PRINCETON
(when he didn't have the grades to begin with)!
And they say crime doesn't pay!
 = FLAME OFF =
All in all the movie had some funny moments, but I'm sorry
I wasted any money on it.
