Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Bueller... Bueller... Edition) description
Like a soda pop left open all night, Bueller seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who fakes his parents out and 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's 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 |

The Insane Adventures of Principal Rooney...and Grace
|
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a feel-good movie brought to us by the King of the '80s Comedies, John Hughes (he gave us Home Alone, The Great Outdoors, Vacation, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Planes Trains and Automobiles, and many more). His delicious sense of humor is felt deeply in his legacy of comedy.
I enjoy this film for its fun, its comedy, its music, its sense of grabbing life and living it. This is a fantasy, a perfect day in the life of a teenager in America. That's why we love it so. We want a day like this, we want to know wacky people like this.
I love this film mostly for the hilarious performances of Jeffrey Jones and Edie McClurg: the pompous principal and his totally incapable, ditzy secretary. These two characters could have their own television sitcom. They steal the show here. But the credit must also go to John Hughes for writing these wonderful characters and directing this film so cleverly. He knows what's funny, and what's touching. He has created a charming movie, maybe his best. But there are too many of his comedies to choose a favorite. |
