rmsboston A great movie that takes the mirror and points it right back at you. Great movie to not only to put you in a good mood, but a great movie to inspire you to get up and live your life. I'd recommend to anyone dealing with any mental health issues. Though it won't solve your problem, it'll definitely give you the motivation to solve your own problems.

classicsoncall When I think of Matthew Broderick, I picture Ferris Bueller. I haven't seen him in anything else except the 1998 "Godzilla" remake, but for me, this role kind of typifies for me his personality as an actor. I'm kind of surprised by the haters who reviewed this movie negatively because it appeared to be done in good fun and in the spirit of those old time Warner Brothers cartoons in which Wile E. Coyote is consistently outsmarted by the Road Runner. Jeffrey Jones portrays Wile E. of course, experiencing a series of escalating disasters as he tries to 'get the goods' on Ferris on his ninth day off from school. Personally, I would never have come up with the devious measures Ferris concocted to sidetrack his parents and Principal Rooney (Jones) while he tooled around the city with pal Cameron (Alan Ruck) and girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara). Highlight of the picture was Ferris commandeering the parade float with his version of 'Danke Schoen' and the Beatles' 'Twist and Shout', both very colorful and well choreographed. The picture might have taken Bueller's popularity to an extreme though, with schoolmates collecting money for a kidney operation, and the big city newspaper touting 'Community Rallies Around Sick Youth'. A little overkill there, but the whole picture was pretty much a parody so best to take it all in stride. Only thing is, as slick and smart as Ferris was, he was wrong about John Lennon. I'm pretty sure everyone knows the walrus was Paul.

collierd-85888 I know I could look back at this movie and find plenty wrong with it, but for what it is, it's pretty good. An essential 80's film.
