Intending to make one last duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago.

      Paul Attanasio Washington Post The whole script is off-balance. Jan 3, 2018 Full Review Kathleen Carroll New York Daily News "Ferris Bueller" has some cheerfully zany scenes, but lacks the originality and verve of Hughes' previous telltale teen comedies. Rated: 3.5/4 Jun 10, 2016 Full Review Hollywood Reporter Chalk up a summer sleeper hit for John Hughes and Paramount. Jun 5, 2015 Full Review George Kowalik Vague Visages If Ferris Bueller and his day off resemble something else universal, it is liberation. In the context of the journey, this is best understood as the ability to be in transit. Oct 4, 2023 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn I still enjoyed this but worry about how much a reboot will dilute this classic, which seems inevitable at this point. Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This is incredibly charming despite Ferris being the villain in his own story. It's quick watch and actually touches on some heavier subjects like depression and entitlement. Rated: 4/5 Jul 30, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Julie Smith Everything! Every scene is classic John Hughes! Ferris Buller is everyone’s hero! 🤣 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/23 Full Review Nyia Luna Best throwback film to remind you to take a second to slow down and enjoy the lil things ☺️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/22 Full Review Friendly Neighborhood M An absolute classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review mojo s i liked it, aspecially the ending with cam haha Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Nol P Just watched Ferris Bueller AGAIN for like the umpteenth time! (Maybe by guessing: my 18th time in full, with full attention). The perfect music score this movie has as every song fits the scene so very well and where as so many films have failed in this department like the Outsiders to name just one. What are your top 5 80's films and WHY! This one is yes up there with Raiders of the Lost Ark, Planes Trains, Beverly Hills Cop, Top Gun and Back to the Future. Just ahead of The Karate Kid and Stand By Me. I just adore this film and when I saw it pop up tonight in my search I said well hell, why not! Many will put Dirty Dancing I know or Breakfast Club or Ghost or Ghostbusters, which I also think is great...but it is no "SAVE FERRIS!" The energy level is unmatched and is no contest! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Rami A Sometimes, even the most lighthearted and simplest films can be good! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
