Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it. This is the mantra of Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), a high school senior with a cocky attitude and enough charm and charisma to get him far in life. Ferris is popular with the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads. His popularity crosses cliques - they all think he's a righteous dude. When Ferris decides to skip school for a day, he doesn't just sit around playing video games and watching MTV; he makes the day count. First he needs his friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), whose piece of sh*t car will be required (as Ferris has no car, he must envy Cameron's piece of sh*t). This accomplished, he must spring his girlfriend, Sloane (Mia Sara), from school with a convincing report of a death in the family. Ferris is clever, and Principal Ed Rooney is aware of that. It's a constant go-'round of one-upmanship between these two. Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) is sick of Ferris always getting the better of him, and today he sees an opportunity to finally bust Ferris ditching school. The game, as they say, is afoot. Ferris's sister, Jeanie (some guys call her Shawna), is miffed that Ferris can ditch and not get caught. She does her best to take him down, skipping school herself to check to see if he's laid up in bed at home or out raising hell. Ferris's day is packed with all sorts of diverse activities, from the Art Institute to a Cubs game, from the Sears Tower to the Chicago Board of Trade, and finally finishing up the day performing during the Von Steuben Day Parade (whoever that is). Ferris Bueller's Day Off John Hughes put together a lot of great films in the '80s but has since all but vanished from film today (save a writing credit for Drillbit Taylor Paramount give Ferris Bueller's Day Off |
