- Synopsis:
- Ferris Bueller. Larger than life. Blessed with a magical sense of serendipity. He's a model for all those who take themselves too seriously. A guy who knows the value of a day off. 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' chronicles the events in the day of a rather magical young man, Ferris (Matthew Broderick). One spring day, toward the end of his senior year, Ferris gives in to an overwhelming urge to cut school and head for downtown Chicago with his girl (Mia Sara) and his best friend (Alan Ruck), to see the sights, experience a day of freedom and show that with a little ingenuity, a bit of courage and a red Ferrari, life at 17 can be a joy!

Mince. Spoiler alert! - Ferris Bueller's Day Off review by CM
Couldn’t care less about the characters, spoilt, SHALLOW, self obsessed, privileged, sense of entitlement off the scale, set piece dumb parents, set piece frigid uptight sister who just needed to snog a bit of rough to turn into a nice person. In the right hands I might have ended up caring about them in spite of all, that but no. . Reminds me why I was glad when the 80s was over. A friend told me it was wonderful so my reaction may be in the minority

Iconic 80s Comedy - Ferris Bueller's Day Off review by GI
An iconic 80s film and one of the best life affirming comedies. It holds up pretty well today mainly because its key message is still relevant....if not more so. Basically it's that life is what happens to you while you're doing other things so enjoy every moment and everyday. And as a teen comedy it's really hilariously funny. Ferris (Matthew Broderick), a very confident high school student, goes to elaborate lengths to bunk the day off from school luring his best friend Cameron (Alan Tuck) and girlfriend, Sloane (Mia Sara) to join him and take off into Chicago in Cameron's Dad's prize classic Ferrari. Only the school principal doesn't believe Ferris' sick story and is determined to catch him out. With a great musical number set piece and score along with various scrapes and close encounters with his adoring parents and very jealous sister (Jennifer Grey) this rattles along at such a neat pace, constantly enjoyable and fun all the while ridiculing mind numbing education systems and accepted norms of society. Broderick has the charm and cheeky glint of the eye making him perfect casting as Ferris, a role that is probably his most famous and Jeffrey Jones as the hapless principal is hilarious throughout. A bit of a cult favourite this is of its time but still worth checking out if you've never seen it.

Mistake - Ferris Bueller's Day Off review by PR
I thought I’d better watch this as it’s supposedly an iconic film from the 80’s. I wish that’s where I’d left it!
Couldn’t get beyond half an hour’s worth.
