4K Ultra HD™ Review: “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” Is The Crowning Achievement In John Hughes’ Filmography

A high school wise guy is determined to have a day off from school, despite what the Principal thinks of that.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a classic and is my favorite John Hughes film. There is not much else I can add that hasn’t already been said about this movie, but it’s always fun to watch. Matthew Broderick just owns it as Ferris, and I know that I wish even now that I had more of Ferris’s attitude.

“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is the quintessential high school film that highlights the importance of taking a step back from everyday stress and living life to the fullest. Cameron (Alan Ruck) is suffering a bit too much with daddy issues. So, Ferris fakes being sick, convinces Cameron and his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) to play hooky at school and hang out in Chicago for the day. The three friends have a pretty memorable and busy day, with Ferris being the leader of the pack.

Overall, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” is a simple movie, but it has so many iconic scenes that it is always a good movie to re-watch, especially in times of stress.
