Weird Times in the Suburbs
(R) USA – 1 hr 39 min
1983 · d. Paul Brickman
Starring Tom Cruise, Rebecca De Mornay, Joe Pantoliano
With his parents away, a studious high-schooler (tighty whities-clad Tom Cruise in his breakthrough role) launches a sketchy business enterprise with a high-class escort that will turn his wholesome suburban life upside down. Is it a classic teen comedy or a savage satire of Reagan-era consumerism? Yes!
