Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 1986 ★★★★˝
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Ferris Bueller's day off is one of the staples of 80s comedy. Along with Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, Gremlins,... they will never get old and never lose their sting. At least not to my generation.
A great outrageous comedy with plenty of quoatable lines and laugh out loud moments:
the phone call with “mister Peterson”
Jeannie knocking out principle Rooney
Cameron debating on wether or not to go
the post credit scene with Ferris in the shower
Jeannie hooking up with a young Charlie Sheen (who looked low on tigerblood here)
Vito from Do the right thing joyriding with the precious rare Ferrari...
Cameron standing up to his father (side note: At the time or writing I noticed an interesting contrast. Here, the rebellious teenager is the climax after starting off as a good boy. In the much more movie that started my evening (Fall), it starts off with rebellion and ends up with reconcilliation. Sign of the times? What do you think?)
...
A must watch comedy with, at the core, a message of enjoying life and taking the moment
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
