Comment

Risky Business is the film which made Tom Cruise (here in the role of Joel Goodson) a Acteur of first plan.
He is also regarded as a social satire, in particular in his description of the rites of passage to which the American teenagers are soumis.
Certain scenes of Risky Business made the object of many parodies and winks, of the Simpson with an episode of the series Newport Beach .
The Girl Next Door , left in 2004, can be considering at the same time like a version updating and a homage to Risky Business , reproducing the structure of the account and making several winks with film of Brickman.

The first episode of the third season of Dawson which is entitled " The news: Eve" (Original version: " Like has virgin") referred many to Risky Business which it takes as a starting point partly.
