in theory and it a great idea for a black comedy represent a school kid call a prostitute while his parent be away and and end up run a brothel . but in truth risky business be not so comic ( the pace be too slow ) and and not even very black represent the hooker be so sweet that they do not even ask for the money beforehand and and even their pimp get up to nothing bad than steal a bit of furniture . in fact and film like american pie and which may be think of a more modern equivalent of this 1980s movie and be ( for good or bad ) massively more vulgar and direct when it come to present sex . what they have in common be a certain kind of teenage wish fulfilment vibe . this film and a befits it age and also feature a capitalist morality and the oddly unattractive ( to contemporary eye ) fashion of it time . the soundtrack and however and be more 1960s than 1980s and for reason that be hard to fathom . add in some fairly wooden acting and and the fact that a certain sort of teenage boy ( such a those in this movie ) be not the easy type of character for others to sympathise with and and the result be more tiresome than fun or telling . but it odd how a film about prostitution can make one feel nostalgic for a gentle age of cinema than the one we have now .
