Ferris Bueller's Day Off

CriticsCritics: 73
AudienceAudience: 8.0

A clever high school student fakes an illness to skip school and spend an adventurous day exploring Chicago with his girlfriend and anxious best friend. Meanwhile, a suspicious principal and a frustrated sister work to uncover the deception before the students return home.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a charming, upbeat teen comedy with playful schemes and a carefree spirit; Not for you if you need a complex story or steadily rising tension, like The Breakfast Club.
