Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986) Review

There's always that movie that helps you decide what kind of movie you like. That was a mouthful, but that movie might Ferris Bueller's Day Off. And the decision might be that I don't like older, more classic comedies. This would be my second test at that genre. I started with Caddyshack a month back, which turned out to be a complete and total disappointment. I didn't expect nearly as much from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but it was somewhat disappointing. There's a real lack of great characters: except Ferris, of course. And there's a lack of comedy, too. Over the entire course of the movie, nothing was genuinely funny. It was more cool. And that's the one thing I liked about the movie. It was cool, interesting, and unique. It brought a few elements into the comedy genre. The pranks calls, skipping school, and fast running (ending) were all fantastically interesting. Unfortunately, the movie didn't have much else to it, except a fantastic lead. And it feels older than the 80's. But the ending couldn't have been better and brought up the quality of the whole movie.
Movie Rating: B
