Oh my gosh!!!! What a movie!!!
This movie is so excellent. It is the apex of virtually everything: the careers of Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey (although she was good in Dirty Dancing the next year), the apex of John Hughes' career and not to mention the apex of teen comedies. They just don't make 'em like this anymore. Show me a hundred Jennifer Love Hewitt films and I promise you that none of them will match or even come close to the greatness this film possesses.
From beginning to end, it's a non stop ride through a teenager's day as he decides to play hooky from school. And unlike many of today's teen "comedies" it isn't superficial; Ferris has more in mind than skipping. He wants to help his best friend gain some confidence, although it is really the audience that feels the best in the end.
This is the ultimate feel-good movie and is one that never gets old! It is very funny and heart-warming!! 12/10
