Ferris Bueller's Day Off Bueller...Bueller... Edition (1986)

How I love the 80s!

This movie has always been one of my faves, and I was very happy to finally purchase it to watch whenever I'm in need of a good laugh! From the opening scene to the credits, this movie is extremely entertaining and full of craziness and witty humor!

"It's a little childish and stupid, but then again, so is high school."
:D

Sloane dear, come to Daddy

During the first viewing the movie counts on surprise and anticipation.

Three high school comrades Ferris Bueller (Mattew Brodrick), Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), and Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara) take the day off from school. They have several adventures which take them to many fun locations among which are a parade, restaurant, and just skirt being detected by Ferris's father. Even though this is a teenage fantasy story everyone can enjoy it.

Ben Stein gives the performance of his life as the enthusiastic economics teacher. "Anybody...anybody?"

Meanwhile the principal Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), which knows of Ferris's devious ways, investigates and is foiled at every turn.

Ferris's jealous sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) has a few adventures of her own which include meeting a boy in the police station (Charlie Sheen.) She eventually comes to appreciate Ferris' ways.

Naive parents Katie (Cindy Pickett) and Tom (Lyman Ward) move blissfully through the movie only wanting what is best for their under the weather son.

For those musically inclined the movie is packed with great tunes.

Want a gummy bear Mr. Rooney?

More 80's memories.

Another 80's movie that will NOT appeal to anyone not a teenager during that decade.
Ferris is right up there with The Breakfast Club.
Fun when it came out.
Funny when it came out.
Did it age well?
Did any of us???
No, well, at lease I didn't.
Neither did Breakfast Club and neither has this movie.
Some fun and funny moments for those of us who remember.
Everyone else will probably roll their eyes.
Worth a rental if your interested.

Memorable Movies

I've loved it since I first saw it in a hotel room. Ironically,I was quite sick at that time.
Ferris Buller has the day off, claiming he is ill, using his wits. Decade, or year doesn't mater because there will forever be those kids who would love a day on the run with no classes! Kids can easily relate, and if not there has to be something very wrong! No, I KID, REALLY!
There's a lot of goodness in here, and the brother sister jealousy is spot on.
Great fun, and laughs for everyone! June 8, 2008

My kids love this movie

I'm sorry, with all due respect to the reviewer, Mr. Simanton, I thoroughly disagree with his review. My kids love the movie as much as I did, back when it came out, there is no loss of effervescence in our home. This movie is one of all time favourites of my older two children, who are 17 and 8. The soda bottle is still fine here, thank you. June 3, 2008
