Ferris Bueller's Day Off (DVD) ... 1999 at Paramount / Features of the DVD: Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Dolby, DVD-Video, Widescreen, NTSC / Like a soda pop left open all night, Ferris Bueller's Day Off seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who takes one memorable day off from school. Jeffrey Jones is nasty and scheming as the principal who's out to catch him. Jennifer Grey is winning as Ferris' sister (who ends up making out in the police station with a prophetic vision of Charlie Sheen). But there's a definite sense that this film was of a particular time frame: the 80s. It's still fun, though. There's Ferris singing "Twist and Shout" during a Chicago parade, and a lovely sequence in the Art Institute. But don't get it and expect your kids to love it the way you did. Like it or not, it's yours alone. --Keith Simanton, Amazon.com

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

I had wanted to see this film for ages but never gotten around to it. I had heard lots of different people say that it was brilliant and when i borrowed the dvd of a friend, i couldnt wait to see it. If you have never seen Ferris Buellers Day Off, it is a comedy film that came to our screens in 1986. It was directed by the brilliant John Hughes and the total running time is 103 minutes long. The film has a great cast including Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Jennifer Grey and Edie Mc Clurg too. Th story centres around character Ferris Bueller. He is a rebel and loves to break the rules. He completely hates authority and being ...  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.

Premium Review Ferris Bueller's Day Off (DVD): Save Ferris! (460 words)

"Bueller...Bueller?" The above quotation is one of the most memorable lines of the classic '80s film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." John Hughes, director of other classic 80s films such as The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Pretty In Pink directs this amusing tale of the most popular kid in school's day off. Audiences familiar with those other Hughes films I have listed should expect to see more light-hearted humour tinged with tender moments and sorrow between the characters. When Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) decides to bunk a day off school, everyone knows about it. Intrusting his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) and ...  Read the complete review
