John Hughes is the king of silly-positive comedies, this movie can be safely included in the top three of his best films, it’s second only to his masterpiece “Plane, Train, Car” and the cult classic “Home Alone”. I like this movie terribly, it’s very unpretentious, silly, anarchic and positive, reminiscent of something like “Detroit City of Rock” or “The Breakfast Club”.
The dream of most high schoolers is to make a day off from this depressing institution where time always goes slow. Ferris Bueller fakes an illness and decides to party with his friends to the fullest, for this they take an expensive car belonging to the father of Ferris’s best friend Cameron. In the end, the car, of course, will not live to the end of the movie, but the three main characters will still enjoy their day off. Meanwhile, the school principal realizes that Ferris is always fooling around, and he dreams of catching him in the act.
The scene between Cameron and the school principal where he says “If Sloan’s grandmother is really dead, please introduce me to her corpse” is worth it. The movie is 100% charged with positive energy, watching this movie always evokes extremely positive emotions.
The only disadvantage of the movie (as well as all Hughes’ movies) is implausibility, some moments look very silly and unrealistic, and personally I always find implausibility very hard on my eyes, but however it is a comedy, not a drama, so John Hughes’ implausibility is quite acceptable here. I recommend watching this movie to all movie buffs, it will cheer you up and help you relax your brain. I advise you to watch the movie strictly in Alexei Mikhalyov’s translation, because no one has translated John Hughes’ movies better than him.
