Summary: THE BEST TEEN MOVIE EVER MADE!
Review: Unlike the unfunny teen flicks (while there are still some good ones) which contain lots of dirty humor, "Ferris Bueller" used humor and hilarity witout using vulgarity to make a great movie.Parents, if you don't want your kids to see a movie like "American Pie", and still want them to watch a teen movie, definitely rent "FBDO" because there is very little language (one "f" word is heard but it is used in a funny way) and barely any sex/nudity. This movie is funny and very original! Check this movie out on DVD because it is best seen that way!

Summary: John Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Review: This is one of the best comedies ever mad and it is the best of John Hughes. It is about a boy named Ferris Bueller(Matthew Broderick) who pretends to be sick one school morning. His parents let him stay home and his sister Jeanie(Jennifer Grey) becomes really ticked at him. Later, Ferris calls his best friend Cameron Frye(Alan Ruck) to come over. Then Cameron calls in a disguised voice to the pricipal Ed Rooney(Jeffery Jones) to get Ferris' girlfriend Sloane Peterson(Mia Sara) out of school. When Rooney lets her out, the group goes to downtown Chicago. They go into the Sears Tower, an expensive restraunt, an art mueseum and much more! Meanwhile, Rooney is suspisious and snoops around the Bueller house. When it comes by 6:00, Ferris has to get home before Jeanie and the parent's do. If you have not seen this movie, I highly reccomend it.

Summary: Anyone, Anyone
Review: Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think that Matthew Broderick is a very talented actor, and is very funny in this movie. I also think that Alan Ruck and Mia Sara are perfect for their role. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a movie that you can watch over and over and still laugh out loud.

Summary: More Like "Ferris Tooler"
Review: Remember the days of skippin school, racin' cars and being cool:
with a six-pack and the radio, etc., etc., blah. Remember when the term "brilliant" wasn't overused/blown, when the frienship pins and torn Calvins was all the rage, enter F. Bueller. Now, I've skipped school in my time, and I've even succumed to the pressures of my cibling's envy; however, this film, this...this Giordian knot of cinematic material finds it's mark.
As Mr. Denise Richards (C.Sheen) makes his comedic debut, in almost 'brilliant' fashion, the story unfolds of young Bueller and his cohort Cameron (also now co-starring with said Mr. Richards) as they wind their way around a river of anonymity and possible futures in order to miss third period French.
Let's approach this in a linear fash: A) Bueller's influence is found immediately as he conquers his truly most difficult obstacle: talking his ailing best friend into skipping school.
B) His jealous (yet perky) younger sister hates the fact that her Fiero isn't as important to the Parents as the happiness of their very children, therefore decides to supress elder Bueller's very attempt at attempting to ditch and have some fun.
C) This is where what some would call the crest of the film is illustrated, or "the race is on" as they say. In one corner the ethical and moralizing bordem of the shrouded 80's: in the other the dashing young mind with innocent revolution in mind. The Bow is drawn.
D) The Ferrari: This film turns with all the energy of a late night bullet train to Osaka 180 degrees into a purgatory for all of the protags. BTW, sorry 'bout your caddy Dad.
The arrow flies.
E) Mr. Principle. In him we are shown that even the stoggiest and mean spirited vindictive "Old guy" can in the most persuasive manner get kicked several times in the face by a cute teen in order to save the brother hated only 1.5 hours ago. And the world was good again.
The arrow falls.
PS. If you ask you'll never know. Rent it,
Buy it,
Whatever

Summary: BUELLER.....BUELLER...
Review: Wow...if you grew up in the 80's and didn't see this movie at least ten times, you must have lived under a rock. I have seen it so many times, and it never loses it's appeal. It's not a movie that won a lot of awards, and it doesn't ponder anything deep and spiritual. It is just a plain old fashioned silly laugh your pants off kind of movie!! The first time I saw this movie, I knew it was going to be a keeper. Now, years later I still can't stop myself from thinking of that hilarious line with the nurse every time someone says the word "fever"....you know the one I'm talking about: " I heard that you are feeling ill
headache, fever and a chill.
I came to help restore your pluck,
cause I'm the nurse who likes to....." If you've seen it, see it again. If you haven't....what are you waiting for!

But there's one problem, the studant deen is out to get Ferris because he knows that Ferris is faking illness. Mathew Broderic does a great job, hey maybe his best job, it's extremely funny and highly reccomended!... ~Dan~

Summary: Perhaps the wittiest film of its decade.
Review: As a child of the eighties(literally, I was born in '80), I don't remember seeing this film at the theatre. I did, however, watch the rented version over and over again with pals on fun summer nights. I fell in love with it back then, and I'm still in love with it today. Contrary to what some have said, this film is an all-time classic. It stands amongst the elite films in its decade and will always be mounted on the movie trophy wall with the likes of The Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Risky Business, and a few others. This film, in case you are one of the rare folks who hasn't seen it, focuses on a high school know-it-all and the day he skips school, finding himself having a blast in Chicago(MY HOME TOWN). This is a fun film in every sense of the word. You will love it and if you were a child of the eighties, you'll probably cheerish it forever.

Summary: Have a day off!
Review: John Hughes' delightful 80s teen comedy is as charming and funny as it was when it was originally released. The story centres around Ferris Bueller, a studnet who decides it's too nice a day to go to school. So he fakes being sick and his friends go off for a big adventure in the city. But the nervy Edward R. Rooney starts to suspect Bueller is faking it, and starts to investigate. Matthew Broderick is excellent as Ferris, portraying a laid-back teenager to superb effect. Nice touches include a Star Wars homage and Ferris' spontaneous musical number in the city, reminiscant of FAME. Aso look out for a Charlie Sheen cameo as a drug guy at the police station. One of the great teen comedies.

Summary: Living every teenager's wildest dream
Review: If I could have driven a Ferrari, visited the sites of Chicago, dined at a fancy restaurant, and danced to the Beatles on a parade float, I might have skipped school more often.
Ferris Bueller, whom Matthew Broderick was born to play, is determined to have a good time. He takes risks we couldn't imagine getting away with, and manages to escape each one with reputation and health unharmed. The appeal of his story, one of John Hughes' greatest in his Shermer Series, is the fact that we wish we could be him. Sure, his sister and the high school principal hate him, but he doesn't seem to care too much. A kid with that much popularity and charisma should expect some jealousy from others.
Alan Ruck was perfectly cast as his neurotic best friend Cameron Frye. After all, Ferris needed someone with a bit of rationality to balance him out (or at least to be his naive partner in crime). While Broderick provides a lot of insight and clever dialogue, Ruck lends some slapstick humor. Watch the scene where Cameron is sitting in his car, for example. "I'LL GO, I'LL GO, I'LL GO, I'LL GO!" He is also spotlighted in the film's premier dramatic moment when Cameron finally sums up his distant relationship with his father. And that Ferrari? May it rest in peace.
Other comic relief comes from Jeffrey Jones as the evil Principal Ed Rooney. Most of the laughs come at his expense though. But hey, I might have laughed if my high school principal had been mauled by a dog and kicked the face by Jennifer Grey. He is the antagonist who only gets what is coming to him.
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a comedy that will probably never go out of style, even if the clothes and the posters on Ferris' wall reflect the spirit of the eighties. As long as kids are making mischief, as long as teenagers and adults are playing hooky, and as long as principals look like [fools]while trying to exert authority, Ferris will always be a hero.

Summary: Taking the Day Off
Review: Ferris Bueller (wonderfully played by Matthew Broderick) thinks that it's too nice of a day to have to spend it in school. So he fools his parents into thinking that he is sick, and then spends the day with his girlfriend, Sloan (Mia Sara), and his best friend, Cameron (a wonderfully talented, young Alan Ruck, later of Spin City fame). The three of them go paint the town red, learning of themselves and each other along the way. This may sound like a fairly basic plot line, but the movie is much, much more than can possibly be described here. This movie was one of the first to do away with the fourth wall, the invisible wall that seperates the audience from what is happening on the screen. Throughout the movie, Ferris goes back and forth between being a part of the movie and talking to the audience. Oftentimes, the tearing down of the 4th wall can destroy an otherwise good movie. However, Matthew Broderick aptly goes back and forth, often for just a split second at a time, with such comedic timing that it doesn't distract from the movie at all. The only objection I have to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is the language. I know that this comes down to personal taste, but I do not normally find a movie to be enhanced by peppering it with a lot of swearing. To me, it is a distraction. Outside of the language, I enjoyed this movie tremendously. It is a teen flick that isn't based on sex or really bad humor (something today's teen flicks need to learn). So take the day off with Ferris. You'll be glad that you did.
