Ferris Bueller's Day Off Reviews

As much as I like this film, I actually consider Planes, Trains and Automobiles John Hughes' best film. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is immensely fun and likable as both a comedy and a film. It is marred slightly by some of the sentimentality, but the story is engaging and the script is smart and funny. Hughes does a very admirable job directing, and the film also boasts some lovely cinematography and a catchy soundtrack. Then there is the acting, I liked all the performances in this movie. Matthew Broderick indeed plays an arrogant, spoiled and bratty sort of character, but he actually manages to give him some likability too. Alan Ruck is also excellent as his melancholy friend, and Mia Sara is gorgeous as his girlfriend. But it is Jeffrey Jones who almost steals the show as he suffers all those humiliations he goes through. In conclusion, I like it a lot and it is one of Hughes' best. 9/10 Bethany Cox

Honestly, I'm not a fan of John Hughes' work but since this movie is a huge 80's classic, I was really eager to check it out and I had some pretty high expectations. Eventually, even though I enjoyed most of it and thought it was indeed pretty good, I still can't say I was blown away by the whole thing though. I mean, it was nice and entertaining, I was smiling from time to time but there was nothing really hilarious or fascinating about the whole thing whatsoever in my opinion. Furthermore, Ferris Bueller is apparently supposed to be this amazingly cool high-school dude but I thought he was just some average teenager who actually tends to be rather obnoxious and not really awesome or inspiring. In my opinion, to be honest, I think the whole thing is actually rather dated and its status of great classic is vastly overblown. One funny thing is that even though Matthew Broderick got his breakthrough by playing the coolest guy around the block, he would spend most of the rest of his career portraying some emotionally challenged and rather constipated characters. Still, even though I don’t think it was really that amazing , I have to admit it, it remains a well made and entertaining teen comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like 80's classics.

Eu não sei se daqui uns 20 anos vou achar os filmes de agora tão bons como eu acho os da década de 80.Mas,pode acontecer.Só sei que esse filme pra mim é o clássico que melhora com o tempo.
Provavelmente , porque cada vez mais a sensação de nostalgia aumente ou simplesmente pelo fato de ser um filme extremamente divertido.
Acho que o que mais gosto no filme é a história ser tão simples e até boba(ah vamos fazer um filme de um garoto que mata um dia de aula e tenta não ser pego pelo diretor da escola).Essa simplicidade possibilita que todos se identifiquem com a história(quer dizer pelo menos eu me identifiquei) e ainda faz com que você saia do cinema(na verdade,comece a ver Malhação) com a sensação de que as melhores coisas não são tão grandiosas e espetaculares.O que não deixa de ser um sentimento recompensador e feliz(só pra deixar o texto mais tolo em uma palavra).Então, save Ferris e R.I.P John Hughes.

Skipping highschool never looked so fun as in this fun and good-old kult movie

This and the breakfast club - watched to death on VHS as a kid. Love this film kind of in my blueprint. Nothing to say about it apart from COOL!

Possibly the greatest, cleverest and witty film to come out of the 1980s. Every taste is catered. Watch it
