I originally saw this movie shortly after it was released in 1986. Being a six year old at the time, I started taking Ferris' advice on how to fake an illness to get out of going to school....I owe so much to John Hughes. From first grade through my senior year of high school...same tactics and it worked every time.
The writing in this film is classic John Hughes, but this time it's the popular kid who's the focus. It also contains several things that make this movie an enjoyable watch: A classic Ferrari, a musical number (or two), an over zealous principal, and Matthew Broderick.
It's a must watch, as it is, and always will be a classic.
