The Film Features Matthew Broderick (The Lion King) as Ferris Bueller, Alan Ruck (Spin City) as Cameron Frye and Mia Sara (Timecop) as Sloane Peterson.
The film centres around high school senior Ferris Bueller, as he decides to skip school for the day. Throughout the film he is accompanied by His Girlfriend Sloane Peterson and his best friend Cameron Frye, During the course of the film they have to avoid the dean of students Edward Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) His resentful sister Jeanie Bueller (Jennifer Grey).
This film is a very clever coming of age teenage comedy. The casting of Broderick as Ferris Bueller is a stroke of genius as he portrays the character so well, and his ability to frequently break the fourth wall is demonstrated throughout the film. The film in my opinion doesn't really have that many funny parts throughout it. Dont get me wrong the iconic scenes were Ferris is singing 'Twist and Shout' by the Beatles is genuinely funny, but it just seems more of a feel good film in my opinion. The progression of the character Cameron Frye is also a good aspect of the film, at the start he is basically a bum with no life, but by the end of this day off he has developed into an adult who realises all his sadness has come from his father, and he realises he has to stand up to him. the films ability to break the fourth wall comes into action a lot aswell with Ferris often giving updates on the situation.
All in all this film is a work of art. Having Grossed $70,136,369 at the box office it is undoubtedly a smash hit. When I say this is my Favourite film of all time I join the likes of Michael Buble and Justin Timberlake. A classic film.
