I watched this 1983 movie again, for the first time in years, after putting it in Best Bets a few months ago. And my, 30 years on, was it delightful to watch. I especially enjoyed how the comedy, starring Tom Cruise as a suburban Chicago teenager who takes advantage of his parents’ temporary absence, and is himself taken advantage of in the bargain. Rebecca De Mornay co-stars as the young hooker with a heart of something less soft than gold, and among a strong group of future stars, Joe Pantoliano has the most fun as “Guido the Killer Pimp.” And watching Cruise rise to stardom with this single role is, of course, both impressive and entertaining.
