A classic

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.
