Movie Review: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Chracters: Ferris Bueller and Cameron Frye
Directed by: John Hughes
Tagline: While the rest of us were just thinking about it...Ferris borrowed a Ferrari and did it...all in a day.
Grade: A+

I love 80's movies...they're all awesome, but the best of the best are John Hughes films. He was one of the best directors of teen movies. It was like he truly understood what hard things went on in teen lives. He didn't just portray them as stupid, flighty girls or cocky guys...he actually gave them personalities...awesome ones at that. Between The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and this movie, there are some of the best characters in any movie...ever. And they're all teenagers...which is a major score for us. This great movie is about a teen called Ferris, who is an expert at ditching school. It's a perfect day outside, so he decides to ditch another day of school (this makes his ninth "sick"day). So, he decides to make this one count. He calls his friend Cameron, who's always sick, and they get Ferris' girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) out of school. Then they go on a spree across the city in Cameron's dad's Ferrari. They even get in a parade. Ferris is the coolest, most smooth talking person ever. And John Hughes did a really cool thing where he had Ferris talk to the camera, as if telling advice to the people watching. Overall, a really fun, really cool 80's teen movie from the master himself.

Plays

So, I'm in a lot of plays...I love being on the stage...as long as I have lines and I'm not having to do a speech or something. So we're doing a musical this time...Hello Dolly...woohoo...not. It kind of seems boring to me...we walk around in long dresses...singing old songs. Blah. I was in Bye Bye Birdie and it was the most fun I've had in a long, long time. The 50's were a fun time...the 80's were a fun time...1842 was not. So, yeah, not totally excited about this play. But I do get to hang out with two of my best friends (and the boy I have a slight, slight crush on...shhh) because we're all going to be in the ensemble. So I guess something good did come out of it. yay! :)

Contrary to popular belief...

I know that no one will ever read this. I'm not one of those bloggers that gets on here to become famous or to spout off their beliefs about everything. I have no desire to become like the woman from Julie and Julia (although that was a great movie...I might be a little biased, though. You're looking at Amy Adams' biggest fan.) But anyway, that's not what I'm trying to do. The only reason I started blogging is to get my feelings and the thoughts I have out. It helps me to write things, so here I am. Writing to make myself feel better. Hopefully, it will work. But I don't know how this will turn out or if I'll ever even do this again. So, let's see how this goes...
