Adult Written by kidsmomof9 February 8, Unnecessary profanity This movie has such potential. It is Matthew Broderick at his best with a stellar supporting cast. The main issue is the language! The 's' word, 'd' word are bad enough and I see people are upset about the 'f' word too.
My main issue is with the rampant use of the Lord's name in vain! Not even to express urgency or importance-but in everyday conversation! No one I was around during that time period or since! It is awkward and unnecessary and detracts from otherwise funny dialog.

Adult Written by Lizziemum July 18, Inappropriate I turned this off at the point that he sits in front of a tv with a naked lady pic on it. So not appropriate for a young audience as some reviews state. Written by Anonymous August 25, Adult Written by Lowe's man April 26, Do not take this movie literally. This small line in the movie is easy to miss, but, when Ferris's mother had to pick up his sister Jeanie at the police station, she lost a huge deal.
She was going to use that profit to buy Ferris a car. So Ferris actually did get punished- he didn't get a car. It is important for parents to make sure that teens don't get the wrong message from this movie, as Ferris faces no immediate consequences.
But neither does Mr. Ferris was wrong to ditch school, but Mr. Rooney was also wrong to go into Ferris's house without permission, to say nothing of parking beside a fire hydrant. What's more, Mr. Rooney wanted to "get" Ferris. His attendance was the only reason he could find to use against him. Excluding that, Mr. Rooney had no legal reason to discipline Ferris. Still, he made the school a place where Ferris wouldn't want to go.
Rooney had a vendetta against Ferris for some unexplained reason. The superintendent should've intervened. He or she should've required Ferris to come to school every day the rest of the year. If he did, that one day should've been forgotten about. But if not, there'd be serious consequences, such as all day Saturday detentions.
As for Mr. Rooney, he should've been suspended for a month without pay. Once the suspension was over, he should've been transferred. So really both Ferris and Mr. Rooney were unpunished. And remember, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

But alooooooooot of cursing. Parent of a year-old Written by Huntingwithdaughters October 12, A fun romp I see no danger in our A student stealing a car because she saw a comedy where kids do it. If she really wanted to take a day off we would let her, so I doubt the school skipping is an issue.
When my wife gets angry her language is worse than anything in this movie. Adult Written by donnyrob April 9, I Love It This is a great movie. I watched it when it first came out and have seen it probably 15 or 20 times since then. The worst thing about it is the language.

The trio, driving Cameron's dad's treasured Ferrari convertible, hit the town. And Ferris' kid sister Jennifer Grey resents her older brother getting away with such antics constantly, and tries to rat him out. Despite a few close scrapes, Ferris triumphs.
You don't have to be as bright as Ferris Bueller to see how young viewers would patronize movies that show them as savvy and resourceful, outsmarting uncool authorities, moms, and dads at every turn. But back when this premiered in , the clever Bueller was a refreshing change from a too-common movie image of teenage boys as sex- and drug-crazed dolts on the run from mad slashers.
John Hughes made his reputation creating quirky young characters with rich inner lives and realistic personal concerns. It's both a key to this movie's popularity, and a little disquieting, that Ferris never faces any consequences. Even Bart Simpson usually has to take responsibility -- and as for Alfie, there's no indication the filmmakers approve his lifestyle.
But Hughes justifies Ferris as a healthy response to self-centered and materialistic adults like Cameron's father. In the end it's poor Cameron who's going to take a fall for the gang, but even he looks forward to the opportunity to defy his unseen old man, accused of valuing the Ferrari more than the son.
A good question, though, would be whether carefree Ferris will be any better when he grows up. If he grows up. Do your kids understand the difference between Ferris's fantasy presentation and what would really happen if they did what he did? The filmmakers justify Ferris' attitude as a healthy response to self-centered, dumb, and materialistic adults.
Do you agree? A good question would be whether the carefree Ferris is going to be any better when he grows up if he grows up. How do the characters in Ferris Bueller's Day Off demonstrate curiosity? Why is this an important character strength?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Movie review by Charles Cassady Jr. Parents recommend Popular with kids. Despite language, iffy behavior, this is a comedy classic. Also, a pre- Dirty Dancing Jennifer Grey plays Ferris' uptight, slightly spoiled sister who spends most of the movie mad at her brother's effortless flaunting of authority, but finds her own sense of self and happiness with the help of a police-station make-out session with a sage Charlie Sheen.
Did you know she's Joel Grey's daughter? That's so cool! Probably the biggest question that came to my mind when watching the movie other than whether it was really a good idea - we'd forgotten it was PG, and the language truly earned that rating , was whether Ferris was a geek. He obviously wasn't a jock or a nerd though he hacks the school computers to change his attendance - certainly a preview of call-back to Broderick's part in Wargames , and indeed he had a very beautiful girlfriend Mia Sara and a certain cache' in the student body when it's heard he's home sick, the rumor that he's dying and needs a kidney results in a school-wide outpouring of affection.
But he seems like the smart, outsider kind of kid who would be into RPGs, and theater, and being outside of the mainstream. Maybe his level of comfort in his own shoes suggests he is the ultimate geek, aware and totally accepting of his outside status to the point that he becomes popular because of it. He is a geek to aspire to.
