86 - "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (1986)

     A John Hughes 80's teenage rebellion movie = great times!! Matthew Broderick stars as our hero Ferris Bueller who decides to skip school because the day is just too perfect to be cooped up in school. He fools his gullible parents into believing he his sick and sets out for a fun day with his hypochondriac best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck). But first they must bust his girlfriend Sloane, the beautiful Mia Sara, out of school by devising a story about her grandmother dying. Once together the three head out for a day on the town. But not everyone is fooled. School principal Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) and Ferris sister Jeanie (Jennifer Grey) both suspect not all is as it seems to be and each sets out on their own to bust Ferris and prove he isn't really sick. Will one of them succeed in exposing Ferris before he completes his day off with Cameron and Sloane? Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a wonderfully fun film and is a sort of anthem for kids who grew up in the 80's. Could we get away with some of the stuff Ferris does? Absolutely not, our parents generally weren't that naive. But would we try? You bet!!
