This movie is mostly known for the "Old Time Rock N' Roll" scene and the fact that it is the first time most people saw Tom Cruise. Both are good reasons to see this teen comedy with dramatic overtones.
Tom plays Joel Goodson, who is soon in over his head, as he contacts and spends the evening with a gold-digging call girl named Lana. When he cannot pay for services rendered, Lana lifts an expensive object from Joel's house, and the movie takes off.
The actors are all very good. Curtis Armstrong and Bronson Pinchot stand out as Joel's friends and Joe Pantoliano makes a great pimp.
This movie is essential for all male high schoolers, as it contains about a thousand fantasties, but because its also about growing up, girls and adventure in a Chicago suburb (Ferris Bueller might be living across the street). More thumbs up for the non-Hollywood,non-traditional ending.
