Ferris Bueller's Day Off (DVD)

1n 1986 John Hughes made a film called Ferris Buller's Day Off. It is one of the iconic teen films of all time. Ferris Buller is an angel in his parent's eyes. Today he decides to take a day off from school. When Ferris takes a day off his friends have to take a day off too. Cameron Frye joins him. Ferris's girlfriend is still in school. He has to get her out somehow; problem is the Dean knows the real Ferris because this boy has taken many days off from school before. I lover this film because of Ferris. He is one hell of a cool character; any teenager this clever deserves a following. The other character in the movie is Ferrari 250 GT California. ...  Read the complete review

I've always wished that i could have grown up in 80s America. And this is one of the major reasons. Ferris Bueller's Day Odd is the the story oh one teenagers day off sick, spent with his best friend and girlfriend. Its such a simple idea but plays for such a fun and iconic film. If you think about how many days off you've taken,and little youve done, and then watch this film, it makes you feel like you've wasted all your time. There are some classic jokes in this film, and it had me laughing all the way through. This is set along with some great typical 80s America locations and an amazing soundtrack. As far as the acting goes, i found ...  Read the complete review

The latest in my John Hughes viewing, in memory of the late writer/director/producer was Ferris Bueller's Day Off, a teen classic still loved today. Starring Matthew Broderick in the title role, Ferris Bueller was released in 1986. It tells the story of Ferris, a popular high school senior who decides he is going to have a fun filled day off school with his girlfriend and best friend. The story is fun and simple. It starts with Ferris using clever tricks to convince his parents he is sick, which of course all schoolkids love as they wish they coul get away with that. It continues on from there with Ferris always staying one step ahead of those ...  Read the complete review

What a film. How does John Hughes manage to write such classic films (writer of planes, trains and automobiles, Uncle Buck etc). Legend has it that this was written in a measly six days though it would take a braver man than me to suggest how good it would have been if he had spent a week! The film itself follows a more popular than god like figure in Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) who decides that the day is much too nice to go to school so decides to have the 'day off'. His parents whom thinks the sun shines out of his backside are conned into the illness story though his sister (Jenifer Grey of Dirty Dancing Fame) see's right through this.
