Ferris Bueller's Day Off (3½ stars)


A day in the life of the high school slacker. Ferris sets up a complicated scheme to blow the day off school and takes his girlfriend and his best friend on a wild adventure in the city.

This is pretty standard of John Hughes movies, lots of laughs, a lovable hero, a sympathetic friend, and a contemptible antagonist, played by Jeffrey Jones.

The film is a little dated, but the pacing is good. 3½ stars
