If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it.
Ferris Bueller was a sensitive young man, yet he had an Eddie Haskell way about him. He bent the rules, but his heart was huge as he comforted his best friend Cameron and promised his girlfriend Sloan that he would one day marry her.
He'll keep calling me. He'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty... This is- this is ridiculous, ok. I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go.
The movie made everyone want to take a day off. I don't live in Chicago, but Ferris found so much to do on an ordinary day. He took in a baseball game, went to the top of the Sears Tower, and even sang Twist and Shout in a local parade.
They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second.
Matthew Broderick was charming, cool, calm, and collected. When others panicked, he found a way. How many people can pose as the Sausage King of Chicago and get way with it? This is a movie that all of us could identify with, because after watching Ferris in action, we all got a sense of what life really should be like.
Pardon my French, but Cameron is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond.
Ferris Bueller is a classic. A movie about a young man who deserves to get a huge spanking, but you root for the guy because he has it all figured out. Every now and then we all need a day off to look around.
So, next time life has the best of you, take a Ferris Bueller's Day Off. You deserve it.
Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we'd be in gym?

...Ferris... awesome movie, and I think you're right...but can I have like a week off, instead of just a day. Oh, I have to stop whining, we only have 4 more days of school before summer, but I'm telling you-- it's time! The kids are driving me up a wall! :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, Ferris was my idol as a young kid. I loved that movie so much! and? I love ferris days as well.
