Ferris Bueller's Day Off
A film by John Hughes
w/ Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck
Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) has an uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch him in the act.
May be [John Hughes'] best film to date. Funny, poignant and rebellious, "Ferris Bueller" is the most cinematically controlled of Hughes' directorial efforts. It speaks to all ages.
