Summary: In For a Laugh.... no matter what!
Review: This is easily the funniest movie I have ever seen. It's about a very popular High-School boy named Ferris Bueller who wants to take the school day off with a few friends. He goes through extreme difficulties to get this... but the movie is not complete without the evil principle!

Summary: Why are you even reading reveiws for this movie?
Review: I will fearlessly state that "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" is not only the best teen film of the 80's, but by far the best teen film of all time. It is irrecognizable as a teen film today, compared with the vile crap Hollywood passes of as "fun" every summer. Indeed, most adults of this generation adore this movie just as much as teen fans. I can't beleive anyone hasn't seen this movie, and if you haven't, stop reading reviews for it and rent the damn thing! Matthew Broderick will instantly charm you in his portrayal of the rather magical high school senior who leads his friends on a youthful adventure through Chicago... on a school day! Alan Ruck is "depressingly" supreme as Cameron, Jeffery Jones is hilarious as the nasty, obsessive principal out to ruin Ferris's fun, and Jennifer Gray will have you quoting her famously vulgar insults (bite the big one, junior). Ben Stein and Charlie Sheen are perfect camoeos.
For anyone who ever wanted to defy the school system, give the finger to authority, and have a the quintessential day off, rent Ferris Bueler with some high school friends and smile.

Summary: Take a day off and see this movie
Review: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a teen classic. This is probably the movie (directed to teens in 1986) that paved the path for other teen movies ("Clueless" for one). Matthew Broderick just brought Ferris to life, he played him so perfectly. It would be difficult to picture anyone else playing the role. This movie is so funny without trying to go too overboard and eventually becoming stupid from doing so. You just want to be Ferris, because he gets away with practically everything (that would be nice in real life, huh?) and his parents never suspected a thing! A while back for my acting class, I actually did a scene (by myself) from the movie. Anyway, just take a day off and see it (just don't fool your parents into thinking your sick...haha).

Summary: This movie "strikes-a-chord" with teens everywhere.
Review: This movie "strikes-a-chord" with teens everywhere. This is the epiotomy of what high school life is all about. Listen-up kids, will you raise your hand as I call out your name:...Jack?...(here!)... John?...(here!)...Billy?...(here!)...Bob?...(here!) BUELLER? (not here, of course)...Frye?...Frye?...Has anyone seen FRYE? Oh yeah, we saw him with this hot chick at "31 Flavors" the other night. No. Acutually, he's at home in bed contemplating getting off his....as to whether he'll pick-up Ferris and his girlfriend Sloane taking them to someplace cool, free from the doldrums of high school. This voodoo economics quiz will begin in.... Ok, you can all put your #2 pencils down. There's no homework assignment, for today. (OH, YEAH!!! YIPPEE!!!) The bell just rang and schools out. As you hurry to pick up your things and head for home, you can't wait to wait pop this DVD in, to watching a teen-classic: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off."There's a whole lot of controversey swirling-around the student-body, when there're rumors that Ferris has had his 9th sick-day of the school-year. Can you believe it? Niether can we. How does a sneaky son-of a.....like Ferris get away with it. I'm getting so jealous of this......getting anything he wants, to having everything under-the-sun: driving around town in these exotic-cars; fast-women (to fulfill his every freakin' whim); and the friendly town's people (who are more than willing to let-go and forgive, for all the mistakes he makes throughout his adolescense). Why can't he be like the rest of us losers out there: who are constantly getting our lunch money stolen from the jocks on the football team, who are there for the sole-purpose of puting shaving-cream down our gym shorts; and to the stupid cheerleaders (heartless wenches) who repeatedly refuse our invitations to go on a date with us to the "Junior Prom." We all have to go class unlike Ferris, lest we go to detention and/or summer school. We hate summer school, it sucks bigtime! Frankly, we're getting sick and tired of it. Therefore, we're all looking-up to you...Ferris, as our hero to serve as an example for all the injustices that take place in our school. Go on! Have a good time with your friends! We don't care as long as you guys promise us, you'll be back in time to take us to the stomp. Meanwhile, as the trio rolled into Downtown Chicago with the Ferarri's controls at Ferris' fingertips, with his steady girlfriend Sloane at his side, and a buddy Cameron who's reluctant to relinquish his daddy's most prized-possession, they're on their way - to bim, bombay! This is going to be a funfilled day at the parade, horray! On to the muesems we go, to see a litte bit of Warhol, Picasso, and Van Goh. From the Chicago Stock Exchange, to the breath-taking views of the city from the top of the Sears Tower. These extra-curricular activities are making us all hungry, as we get a bite to eat with the "Sausage King of Chicago" that is. SO CLAP YOUR HANDS TOGETHER, AND MAKE SOME NOISE!!! For this is the best movie by far, I give it ***5-stars***.

Summary: Ferris Buellers Day Off
Review: Ferris Bueller's has the kind of life style every kid wants! He's young, care free and v.popular. I think the movie is brilliant, it's one you adore, no matter how many times you watch it. Matthew Broderick portrays Ferris fantastically and has us all in fits with his antics. You can really believe in the character. A film to treasure for life

Summary: Hardest I ever laughed watching a movie.
Review: I laughed my butt off watching this video. It is full of humor from beginning to the end. Especially when Ferris uses his computer to produce bodily noises for phone conversations. There is a hilarious scene showing the garage attendants going on their joyride in the sportscar. This film is great for any kid who always wanted to get back at administrators.

Summary: Don't let school get in the way of your education....
Review: John Hughes has a knack for realistically portraying the oppression and dull experiences which take place in a public school setting. While the drone of the lecturing teacher (played by Ben Stein) and the bored, glazed over eyes, and distraction of the students is supposed to be a caricature, it's actually quite realistic. It is so realistic that is hilarious. Also realistic is the degree to which teenagers are grossly underestimated for their natural intelligence and their desire to truly learn. Ferris lies and fakes his own illness in order to skip school, and Principal Rooney believes that Ferris is off sleeping with his girlfriend, or playing video games. Ferris, on the other hand, is off to a museum, dining at fine food restaurants, creatively participating in a parade. His friends learn a lot from him about branching out and daring to go against the grain, to expand your horizons and live your life. There are many funny moments, but, like The Breakfast Club, it makes a point of showing what kids really need, and being jailed in intellectually dulling classrooms is not it. Anyone who is a fan of organic learning will be sure to get a kick out of this one.

Summary: 80's movies ..... ahhhh The Big Daddy
Review: This is one of the movies that reminds me most of the 80's when I too was a high school student thinking along similar lines "I'm not European, I'm not going to be European, so why do I need to learn about European socialists?" I suppose you can say it's dated, most things take on the trappings of their time. Ferris Bueller has almost become emblematic of them. Still, dated lingo or not, the movie was and is, at it's heart, just pure fun. Remember, life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and looka round once in awhile you'll miss it.
