- Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2025A classic ! Great date movie and loved the Chicago parade seen. Ferris Bueller is my hero. Reminds me of me at his age. Cutting school and commuting into NYC from Jersey like a bad boy impressing my girlfriends.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2007Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a brilliant movie. There is not one wasted scene. For me, this movie is about taking time out to enjoy life, taking chances, and just remembering that you don't have to take yourself so seriously. I've seen this movie many times, since it came out in the mid 80s. I never get tired of it.
The DVD with special features is especially great to have--there are some interviews of the cast that were filmed when the movie was made. I was disappointed that there wasn't much current material with John Hughes, but there is plenty of footage of him back in the day. There are interviews with Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Jeffrey Jones (the principal), Edie McClurg (school secretary), Ben Stein (Beuller, Bueller), and Cindy Pickett & Lyman Ward (Bueller's parents--did you know they were dating when they made the movie, and later became married?), and Jennifer Grey.
Ben Stein has some special features that only he could pull off. I love this movie so much I'm going to buy a DVD for many of the people I know. I'm going to tell them to watch this movie every once in a while. It makes you feel good and refuels the zest for trying something new or fun...and taking time out to enjoy life once in a while. Thanks to all the creative folks who made this movie. And to John Hughes who really nails it.
Buy this DVD and keep it in your library. Watch it once a year. It's therapeutic!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025This was a favorite for me growing up, I had streamed the movie in 4k, however the 4k blu ray so far is superior. Details in the background of the movie really pop and makes this classic movie look anew.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025Another one of my husband’s favorite movies
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2025Another one of those movies my mom loved—so much so, I feel like I’ve never lived in a world where Ferris didn’t exist. It’s the reason I still, even at 40, sculpt a shampoo mohawk in the shower, randomly burst into Danke Schoen and Twist and Shout, and occasionally break the fourth wall in real life.
Life moves pretty fast… but this one stuck with me.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2024"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a timeless classic that never fails to entertain. The film captures the spirit of youthful adventure and rebellion, making it a joyous ride from start to finish. Watching Ferris' antics is pure fun, and the iconic scenes are unforgettable.
Inspired by the movie, I took the Museum tour in Chicago, and it was fantastic! The Art Institute of Chicago is just as mesmerizing in real life as it is in the film. Wandering through the museum and seeing the famous paintings up close brought back wonderful memories of Ferris' epic day off. A must-do for any fan of the movie!

MauroReviewed in Italy on January 7, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars Una delle migliori commedie degli anni 80
Un film divertente, senza mai un calo nel ritmo, con personaggi memorabili (in particolare Cameron, migliore amico di Ferris, pieno di complessi ed insicurezze). Secondo me il migliore titolo di Hughes, con alcune riprese indimenticabili, come quella nel museo e la corsa di Ferris verso casa nel tentativo di anticipare i genitori. Anche la colonna sonora è all'altezza. E' stato un film culto della mia adolescenza. In questa edizione UK c'è anche l'audio in italiano e non è affatto male l'apparato di extra. Consigliatissimo!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarant...et culte, un des meilleurs film de John Hugues
Ferris Bueller élève en terminale, décide par une belle journée de printemps de sécher le lycée en se faisant porter malade pour la 9ème fois et d'en profiter pour se faire une virée dans Chicago accompagné de sa petite amie et de son meilleur pote . Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) le surveillant principal persuadé que Ferris le mène en bateau va se lancer à sa poursuite pour le démasquer et le faire renvoyer de l'école...mais Ferris est malin très malin...Sortit en 1986, Ferris Bueller est une comédie US irrésistible qui sous ses airs de teen movie délivre un message sur le temps qui passe et sur ce que nous décidons d'en faire. Le tout est emballé par un trio d'acteurs bourrés de charme (Matthew Broderick excellent mais aussi Mia Sara et Alan Ruck). Ne pas oublier les seconds rôles : Jeffrey Jones en surveillant looser irrésistible et sa secrétaire complètement à la masse, les parents de Ferris (complètement largués) en passant par un prof d'économie neurasthénique (Ben Stein), de la soeur de Ferris (Jennifer Grey), et d'autres formidables acteurs (les 2 irrésistibles loueurs de voitures, le chef de rang exagérément maniéré du restaurant huppé, Charlie Sheen en teenager camé complètement à l'ouest etc .. ) . Cerise sur le gâteau une super BO et la réalisation du regretté John Hugues qui permet à Ferris Bueller de s'adresser à la caméra en nous prenant à témoin de ses actes . Bref un film qui a tout bon !!!!!! Concernant le BR, belle image, bon son et de chouettes bonus !

5.0 out of 5 stars John Hughes at his best! Though he never did anything less....
What can be said that hasn't already been stated? Ferris Bueller's day off has been surgically attached to my brain as the ultimate 'dream' film, which houses everything we could want; romance, comedy, tension, and great acting.
Just to reiterate the plot, Ferris Bueller (played by the wonderful Matthew Brodrick) is the school kid that most of us can only dream of being! Not afraid of anything and a sky-high confidence, he wakes up one morning deciding to make it a '9' on his tally of 'sickies' for bunking off school. This time though, he wants to do something different, and after putting on the acts in front of his loving and truly sweet parents (I envy them - my mum always got annoyed for some reason, but my dad would secretly take me to play football at the park!) the plan goes ahead!
Accompanying him on his plan is his best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), who plays a deep but fantastic role as the typical troubled teenager. For me, this is one of the highlights of the film. We've all been there, but emphasis is only put on puberty since the 70's, mainly because of changes in society and the way this affects us. Cameron is someone even I can relate to, and personal friends; afraid of his dad, afraid of messing up, afraid of life in general.
Feris' girl-friend, Sloane, also gets in on the act when the 2 boys create a rather unique diversion, ringing the school to tell them that Sloane's grandmother suddenly passed away! And so, with them all free, they venture off into the city for an unforgettable day!...
Their are 4 reasons why this ranks as one of my top feel good films of all time. Firstly, the most obvious, its been directed by John Hughes, who for the short lifespan he had directing films, was made up for by sheer quality. A moving soundtrack, excellent camera work, and fantastic script makes this one of his best - he just knows how to tap into your emotions.
The second reason probably applies more now than when it was originally released, and that's that it's aged so well, and is an incredibly refreshing film when compared to todays standards of comedies, or indeed the genre of.. well, feel good, to which I can't even remember when a modern director took the time to release a family film that also has the same effect as films like this from the 80's!
The Third reason is the soundtrack. As you've already read (unless you read this first, to which I'll say i'm VERY flattered!) the songs in this film are fantastic - a collection of tunes that made the 80's, and ones made purposefully for this film. The blend moments of humour (Star Wars sequence) and moments of romance, to that incredibly smooth "Ooooo yeeeah" vocalled song. Apologies for the poor description - thats one of those songs we all know, but can't place the title! It's a shame no CD was released for this soundtrack, but I keep looking anyway.
The fourth and most important reason I love this film is because, like most of the other reviewers here, it's something we've always wanted to do, but never had the guts too. I personally look back at School and wish I had of took more risks, made better decisions, but like Cameron in this film, I fell for the 'worry' syndrome that plagued me for years. Even my mates would bunk and fill me in on how amazing it was. The furthest I got was going to the park during school with friends and drinking cheap French lager during the hot summers... tut tut!
I personally find this film more moving than anything. Like I said, it's based around a dream that we all want - the excitement, the adventure, the suspense of not being caught, the romance of being their with your girlfriend (to which I fancied Ferris' girlfriend for many years!) and best friend. My favourite moment is when they visit the art gallery, and the lovely romantic music blends in, to which the scene ends on Ferris and Sloane kissing in the dark. I personally find that part incredibly touching - childhood sweethearts having the time of their lives :)
If you haven't seen this film, then its simply a MUST if you love feel good films from the 80's, but still containing great humour and youth. I would say its for the 'older' family (ie not kiddies) because younger kids won't appreciate what's going, and what's involved. I just love this film... what more can I say?
I'll never say its right that someone should bunk off school. But I learnt the hard way that you only regret 'one' thing in life, and thats the risks you never took. To which, if I could turn back time, I would have skipped most of my pointless 'P.S.E' lessons (to which were told time and time and time over why ethnic minorities are so wonderful....) and just been brave enough to break away from worry. Ferris Bueller is only a light hearted film, but in anyone who watches it, it'll tap into that parts of them that can only wish. That's what John Hughes does best!
P.S If you like his films, you're probably no doubt aware of the brilliance of 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles', which is a wonderful film.
