Review of Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) by Avid C — 14 Apr 2013
Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a teen flick by John Hughes which became a cult movie and is now a classic.
Its genius lies in the direct perspective of the teen mind. It's not an exaggerated view in the sense that it is not trashy. It's just a dream day any teen would love to be able to pull off and Ferris the coolest dude everybody wants to know. Great story, well developed characters, and cool dialogs.
The only negative things I can say are that I find that Matthew Broderick's acting is sometime a bit off. While it gives his performance a certain flair and a very distinctive flavor, it can be distracting at time. Mia Sara is also part of the those little negative things. She's just not top notch in this film, unlike Alan Ruck and Jeffrey Jones. She had done better.
If you don't mind a trip back to the 80s, I recommend it.
