Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Who would like to skip school and have a day of fun with your best friend and girlfriend.  Well that's what happened in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.  Another one of John Hughes' great works.  The film stars Matthew Broderick as Ferris, Alan Ruck as Cameron, Jennifer Grey as Jeanie, Mia Sara as Sloane and Jefferey Jones as Ed Rooney.

One day in the spring, Ferris Bueller a senior class-men decides to fake being sick and miss school and have a day of fun.  He decides to take his girlfriend, Sloane and his best friend Cameron on a tour of Chicago and they decide to just do whatever they can to enjoy the day.  However Ferris has already missed a lot of school and if he gets caught with faking it he won't graduate.  However he still wants to have the best day he can.  However both Jeanie (Ferris' sister) and Rooney (Dean of Students) are out to prove to Ferris' parents and the world that Ferris was faking it.  These two story lines drive the film to laughs and also there is a sense that it shows that once you graduate high school, you won't be able to spend as much time with your friends.

The movie includes a great soundtrack with great 80's songs and oldies but goodies.
