Ferris Bueller's Day Off - 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Released in 1986 and running 103 minutes,this film is just OK.I don't get the fascination with it after all these years.It doesn't stand up fashion wise and its just an smirky wise ass kid playing hooky for a day and bugging his sister he could get away it.Well maybe I do see THAT part:)Thus a 50-50 2 and 1/2 stars.What is good is the acting. Even Charlie Sheen and Ben Stein have small parts!!!!However it is still Matthew Broderick as Ferris's picture.Trailer URL after the pix and a IMDB summary below.

Ferris is a street-wise kid who knows all the tricks. Today he decides to take the day off school. When Ferris takes the day off, so must his best friends, Cameron and Sloane. Cameron is reluctantly persuaded to borrow his father's Ferrari, and together they hatch a plan to get Sloane out of class. Suspicious dean of students Ed Rooney knows all about Ferris, but can never catch him. Ferris' sister Jeanie is also frustrated that Ferris always gets away with his tricks and she doesn't. Furthermore, Ferris is an 'angel' in his parents eyes. It's Ferris' day off, he's out to enjoy himself, and he does!. Written by Rob Hartill
