Editorial Review:

Like a soda pop left open all night, Ferris Bueller's Day Off seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who takes one memorable day off from school. Jeffrey Jones is nasty and scheming as the principal who's out to catch him. Jennifer Grey is winning as Ferris' sister (who ends up making out in the police station with a prophetic vision of Charlie Sheen). But there's a definite sense that this film was of a particular time frame: the 80s. It's still fun, though. There's Ferris singing "Twist and Shout" during a Chicago parade, and a lovely sequence in the Art Institute. But don't get it and expect your kids to love it the way you did. Like it or not, it's yours alone. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com

• Too cool for school!
  A classic 80s comedy, and a film very close to my heart. I was at the right age to appreciate it when it was first released, and its been a constant companion ever since. What boy wouldn't want to be Ferris Bueller after watching this?! He takes everything to the extreme, and somehow manages to get away with it.
  A brilliantly funny film, with an amzing soundtrack - whats not to like?

• the best teenage comedy, Ferris rules!
  Matthew Broderick (war games) stars as Ferris Bueller, a cocky teenager who doesn't want to go to school on a day when the sun is shining and there is so much to explore, and this ideology, I believe, is something that is hidden in all of us.
  How many of us wake up in the morning and think, ah the hell with it, I'm skipping school/work today and going exploring, to see sights and enjoy myself! It is something with its consequences, but with so many more personal benefits. Both are explored in a comedy... more info

• Pass the remote
  I've been watching a number of John Hughes movies ever since I saw The Breakfast Club a few months back. Whilst that was a classic, this movie is anything but.
  It is ruined by the most annoying main character/actor I've ever seen. I spent the entire movie looking round the room for things I could throw at the tv and hope to hit 'Ferris Bueller'.
  My only remorse came from knowledge of previous movies where such an annoyance either dies, suffers an unfortunate setback or dies.
  Sadly none of... more info

• John Hughes at his best! Though he never did anything less....
  What can be said that hasn't already been stated? Ferris Bueller's day off has been surgically attached to my brain as the ultimate 'dream' film, which houses everything we could want; romance, comedy, tension, and great acting.
  Just to reiterate the plot, Ferris Bueller (played by the wonderful Matthew Brodrick) is the school kid that most of us can only dream of being! Not afraid of anything and a sky-high confidence, he wakes up one morning deciding to make it a '9' on his tally of 'sickies' for... more info
