Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)

April 10th
Drinks at 6:30pm
Film at 7:00pm

Screening at Metro Cinema at the Garneau Theatre - 8712 109 St

Teenaged Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is a legend in his own time thanks to his uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last grand duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, “borrows” a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day bacchanal through the streets of Chicago. Dogging Ferris’ trail at every turn is high-school principal Rooney, determined to catch Bueller in the act of classcutting. Writer/director John Hughes weds satire, slapstick, and social commentary, as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off starts like a house afire and goes on to make “serious” points about statusseeking and casual parental cruelties.
