FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF (1986) - ♦♦♦♦♦

Directed by - John Hughes

Written by - John Hughes

Starring - Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Alan Ruck

 

"Matthew Broderick stars as a fast talker who knows how to have fun, which is exactly what he sets out to do with his girlfriend and his hypochondriac best friend on the day he feigns illness to stay home from high school. Another coming of age classic by master of the genre John Hughes, whose connection with his target audience is timeless. This is one of his most memorable films, and one of the most loved. Ferris Bueller embodies the free spirited urban youth, and conceals a mixture of sweetness and rebellion all at once. The pop soundtrack sets the right tone and Matthew Broderick as the titular character is nothing short of iconic, in a film that is among the most representational of the youth culture of the eighties."
