Forty Years of ‘Risky Business’
  + stars: | 2023-07-29 | by ( Rich Cohen | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When I was 14, my mother took my brother and me to see “Risky Business.” Because the movie was targeted at teens and set in the Illinois town where I was growing up, the theater was packed with kids I’d known my entire life. We adored the film, but none of us were prepared for its raciness. The young stars, Tom Cruise and Rebecca De Mornay, were seen in flagrante delicto in every room of a center-hall Colonial. As the credits rolled, we lingered in titillated silence. It was my mother, Brooklyn accent resounding like a bugle at dawn: “I just saw a porno with my sons.”

Friday’s debut of “No Hard Feelings,” a sex work romcom that doesn’t want to admit to its own subgenre, is very much of our era. Noah Berlatsky Noah BerlatskyThe Jennifer Lawrence vehicle from Sony Pictures revolves around a sex worker who, like the film, doesn’t want to admit what she’s doing. In sex worker romcoms, you’re supposed to be scandalized at the sordidness — but in a fun way. Anti-sex and anti-porn advocates have put a lot of effort into (falsely) conflating sex work and sex trafficking. Every film, sex worker romcom or otherwise, doesn’t have to be enthusiastically political, or, for that matter, sexual.
