John Hughes is one of my favourite writers and directors. He has the ability to write teenagers in a realistic way and Ferris Bueller is one of two defining films of his career - the other being The Breakfast Club and as much as I love both films, Ferris Bueller's Day off is one of my all time favourite movies. The fact that it was written so quickly is just insane by how great it came out. I have watched this movie the most out of any film and still haven't gotten bored of it. The epitome of '80s cinema and one of the greatest comedies of all time! Save Ferris!

"Enjoying the adoidado vida" is not a great film just for its humor, sarcasm, direction and captivating personages, what makes this great work is its moral not explicit, its philosophy on the life to be fleeting and its ramifications on the perturbation of the head by cameron. The script that tells of the acts of rebellion of Ferris Bueller is opposed to the depression of cameron, the pair, along with the girlfriend of Ferris embarks on a journey of fun, after they leave class, in search of amusement and to enjoy life, but between these intervals each one understands a little more about life and about oneself. John Hughes is a director who knows how to talk and broadcast the dramas and yearnings of youth like no one, always dressed in comedy, his films take all audiences and always preach the philosophy of total entertainment, from beginning to end (not stopping even in the credits) , but John also uses his communication skills to talk to his audience (even though the feature of the breakdown of the fourth wall is widely used here), John creates a film of three characters discovering themselves, but of an emphasis mainly on Cameron , he is the character who understands his purpose and makes the biggest break of rupture of the film, the whole movie is based on trying to enter his mind and understand his personality -Vide the scene of the pictures- he is the real protagonist of the film, and John deserves all our respect for including all this layer on the long and cover of fun and comedy. But in addition to that, the feature has a wonderful technical direction, camera angles and cuts of the film are surgical, in addition to those against flat and long plans, not to mention the richness of screen compositions and costumes, and the striking soundtrack, speaking in remarkable things, we can not forget Mattehew Broderick, who plays the role of his life, although all the actors are great in their roles. Lastly, "Enjoying the Sweet Life" is a film that transcends generations with fun, good humor and intelligence.

When I think of Matthew Broderick, I picture Ferris Bueller. I haven't seen him in anything else except the 1998 "Godzilla" remake, but for me, this role kind of typifies for me his personality as an actor. I'm kind of surprised by the haters who reviewed this movie negatively because it appeared to be done in good fun and in the spirit of those old time Warner Brothers cartoons in which Wile E. Coyote is consistently outsmarted by the Road Runner. Jeffrey Jones portrays Wile E. of course, experiencing a series of escalating disasters as he tries to 'get the goods' on Ferris on his ninth day off from school. Personally, I would never have come up with the devious measures Ferris concocted to sidetrack his parents and Principal Rooney (Jones) while he tooled around the city with pal Cameron (Alan Ruck) and girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara). Highlight of the picture was Ferris commandeering the parade float with his version of 'Danke Schoen' and the Beatles' 'Twist and Shout', both very colorful and well choreographed. The picture might have taken Bueller's popularity to an extreme though, with schoolmates collecting money for a kidney operation, and the big city newspaper touting 'Community Rallies Around Sick Youth'. A little overkill there, but the whole picture was pretty much a parody so best to take it all in stride. Only thing is, as slick and smart as Ferris was, he was wrong about John Lennon. I'm pretty sure everyone knows the walrus was Paul.

I really wanted to like it, after hearing friends talk about it like it were some paradigm of coming of age masterwork. But I really couldn't. The main character takes a day off, behaves badly and gets away with it. Which would make for a funny, cheeky film, weren't for the fact that such main character is an unlovable, self-absorbed young idiot. The film itself has more plot holes than a narrative colander and the other characters are little more than cardboard cutouts. Charlie Sheen fleetingly raises the tone slightly with a tiny, well acted part of a juvenile delinquent -- but this is pretty much the only positive thing I can say about this absolute dud of a movie.
