Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 103m
Director: John Hughes
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Mia Sara, Jeffrey Jones, Jennifer Grey, Cindy Pickett
Synopsis:
An eighteen year-old skives school to spend a wild day out in Chicago with his girlfriend, best mate and best mate's Dad's Ferrari.
Review:
Archetypal 80s comedy: anti-authoritarian and yet ever so covetous of the riches enjoyed by their elders, these kids are wised-up, slacker versions of their mixed up 50s and drugged up 60s predecessors. Thus easy laughs are generated at the expense of the headmaster and other grown-ups; very few undermine the cool of the youngsters themselves. It is harmless fun, and this small school of youth-oriented cinema was one of the fresher phenomena to come out of the decade; its virtue is that it moves fast and the kids are not too obnoxious, though Broderick's repeated to-camera moments were perhaps a miscalculation.
