Matthew Broderick stars in the '80s teen comedy about rebelling in style.
Every kid has known a Ferris Bueller, that kid with the zen-like state of mind who seems impossibly mature, infuriatingly confident, never less than charming and usually gets what he wants. And this being the infamous decade of greed, that means conspicuous consumption.
Our '80s Ferris is played with great style by a young Matthew Broderick who, tired of school drudgery, borrows a Ferrari and convinces some friends to accompany him to Chicago for the day.
Naturally all this is to be accomplished without anyone noticing, without any consequences and with maximum cool, a sleight of hand only a Ferris-like state of mind is capable of. Teen rebellion with style.
My husband is almost identical to MB. It's eerie. Lucky for him, I always had a crush on Ferris. :)
This is a travesty. I think I've had a crush on Brian Setzer since I was about 7 years old.
One of the best movies ever!
btw, my daughter is pulling "Ferris" today.......claiming stomach ache.
