#1 Cheap Ferris Bueller's Day Off Reviews

If you are a teenager who wants to vicariously get back at adults, this movie is for you. If you hate the principal at your high school, then so much the better.
Ferris Bueller completely bamboozles his parents as to his "illness". Instead, he has a lot of fun that day--though nothing criminal. He visits several locations in Chicago with his girlfriend. The principal gets personally involved in trying to nail Bueller, and ends up becoming a bigger fool than Bueller.
Bueller's sister too would like to get out of school, but does not know how to while getting away with it. She envies her brother and his successes. But then she has a change of attitude...
Ferris Bueller's Day Off Overview
Like a soda pop left open all night, Bueller seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who fakes his parents out and 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's 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
