Summary: If you like "Growing Pains" You will like this movie
Review: Ferris Bullier is a lot like Mike Seaver from "Growing Pains". Ferris's day off is filled with excitment. It has really funny parts inmcluding a classic scene. THe one where Ferris gets on top of a flaot and sings "Tiwst and Shout" you can't forget this scene.

Rating:
Summary: Funny, pleasent though kind of childish
Review: I liked the film "Ferris Buellars Day Off." It's a little funny, pleasent comedy. Harmful to be sure. Though some of the themes are very childish. And I hate it how Matthew Broderick keeps talking to the audience. All in all its a pretty good film. If you want small laughs and not lots of violence. This movie is the ticket for you.

Summary: Best class-cutting, hedonistic teenage movie ever!
Review: This is truly a gem of the mid-80s, John Hughes genre and is a must see for every high school student or Generation Xer. Actually, it you are a parent, wait until after your high schooler graduates so they don't get ideas. Matthew Broderick delivers a wonderful performance as do many of the co-stars who have gone on to other popular roles. Unfortunately a sound track was never released (a rarity for a Hughes moview) but there are terrific flashbacks of 80's punk and alternative songs. So, sit back and enjoy. Don't try to figure out how they did all that in one afternoon in Chicago. Remember, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Summary: Go Ferris
Review: After watching this movie for the first time in several years, I was struck by a thought: what kind of person would Ferris grow up to be?

My guess is that Ferris would grow up to be a guy who loses about six jobs a year. Unfortunately, that's the reality of life: smart alec kids have to grow up sometime, even if they're as cool as Ferris.

And that's the beauty of Ferris. He's an eternal teenager, captured in that nexus between childhood and adulthood that we all had to endure. But nobody endured it as well as Ferris does, which is why he's so lovable.

Much has been written about the humor in Matthew Broderick's performance, but little has been written about the tone. Broderick is tone-perfect - a little more mellow, and you have Bill and Ted; a little more manic, and you have Jon Cryer. Ferris is cool, but not unflappable. He's cocky, but slightly unsure of the future. He's a smart aleck, but he's earnest, and he's brave to boot. He's the quintessential teenager, albeit one who does things that all of us wish we'd had the balls to do.

And Ferris is all too aware that this magical time in his life is going to end pretty soon. That truth adds an almost subliminally sad subtext to this film, which is ostensibly about being an exuberant teenager. That's a pretty neat trick for a movie that's supposed to be little more than a silly teenage romp, isn't it?

Eventually, all of us have to grow up. All except Ferris, that is. We never have to watch his teenage precociousness turn into grown-up irresponsibility. Hell, that's what happens to us all at some point, and it will never happen to Ferris.

Isn't that the beauty of this movie? By seeing Ferris in his eternal teenage glory, maybe we can all catch a glimpse of the funny, rebellious, cocky, noble people we all once were during that period between childhood and adulthood - and perhaps might be again.

Summary: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Review: If you need to take a day off school and possibly get away with it, take notes from Ferris. He takes a day off, dogs best bud Cameron Frye into joining him and girlfriend Sloane Peterson, using the dead grandma excuse. They use Cam's dad's 1961 Ferrari, which his dad likes more than his family. However, Ferris' sister Jeannie doesn't buy it, and his principal Ed Rooney chases him like a hungry hound dog; Bueller is one absence away from repeating his senior year, so Rooney would like to have that happen. Meanwhile, the trio joyrides all over Chicago in the priceless car, eating at expensive restaurants, seeing priceless art, attending Cubs games, and the finisher: Ferris sings two classic 60s songs in a parade in front of thousands. Later, Cameron wrecks the Ferrari and is slowly gaining self esteem. Then Ferris is almost exposed by Rooney, but his sister bails him out, of all people. The lesson in this movie, as Ferris puts it: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.
