"Life moves pretty fast," as a famous teenage philosopher once said, and before you know it, a quarter-century has gone by. It's hard to believe it's been 25 years since the release of 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' (on June 11, 1986).
Though dated in some ways (there's a lot that clearly marks it as a product of the '80s), the movie feels as fresh as ever, thanks to the eternal exuberance of Matthew Broderick in the title role and the ability to accurately evoke timeless teenage concerns that was writer/director John Hughes' trademark.
How many freaking times ive watched this movie. It is still awesome to this day.
I'm going to share that thought with my husband and we are going to watch it again with that in mind. That is just going to blow 'his' mind.
I dunno if it's nostalgia talking but teen comedies suck nowadays, especially compared to Ferris Bueller.
In a lot of ways, the cartoon Phineas and Ferb is a lot like this movie. No wonder I love that show.
