"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."
The kid is a damn genius for christ's sake! I've been so excited to finally review this movie because it is most definitely a must-see classic. Matthew Broderick does a phenominal job playing the part of Ferris.
Ferris, his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), and his girlfriend Sloan (Mia Sara) have what I consider to be the absolute best senior ditch day of all time...even if it was just the 3 of them. I mean, come on. With the utmost care and calculation, he fakes sick to get out of school...talks Cameron, his slightly fruitcakey friend to take his father's immaculately restored vintage Ferrari...Ferris takes the fake identity of Abe Froman to get into a fancy restaurant...they get on the big screen at a game at Wrigley Field...check out the Sears Tower and the Art Institute of Chicago....and of course! Ferris makes a fantastic edition to the Von Steuben Day Parade with his performance of Twist and Shout. Oh but of course, not everything is as simple as that right?
I love every minute of this movie and its even better in theaters. If only we could go back to 1986...haha yeah right.
A+ All the way. When I say must-see, I mean it.
Best song: Twist and Shout - covered by the Beatles.
Suggestions welcome, as always.
353 to go.
