Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Published: Sept. 21, 2021, 2 p.m.

Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...I love this film by John Hughes, but who doesn't. It has so many great lines, amazing adventures in Chicago, a perfect cast, and a great way to spend a day off. This film is available to stream on Netflix, Pluto, and Paramount+, as well as on Amazon to rent. I found the DVD at Target (they also had it solo on Blu-ray) in a pack of John Hughes films, 5 in total. I feel like this is a great family movie, although my podcast isn't. For those few who haven't seen it, including my guest until we recorded, the film is about you guessed it, Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) who has an uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. He is intending to make one last duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day journey through the streets of Chicago. On Ferris' trail is high school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch him in the act.
