Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a 1986 teen comedy movie written and directed by the legendary John Hughes, and produced and distributed by Paramount. It's considered one of the most influential films of The '80s.The film follows Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick), a high school senior in suburban Chicago who pretends to be sick and skips school one beautiful spring day. He convinces his neurotic best friend Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) and his carefree girlfriend Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara) to come along with him. The three of them "borrow" Cameron's father's prized vintage sports car, heading into the city to share one more day of fun together before graduation. Meanwhile, the school's Dean of Students Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) and Ferris's resentful sister Jeannie (Jennifer Grey) are both hot on his trail, eager to catch him skipping school.In 1990, a TV sitcom based on the film began to air on NBC (which can now be viewed in its entirety on YouTube), with Charlie Schlatter replacing Broderick in the title role. Due to poor ratings, it was cancelled during its first season. Meanwhile, dueling show Parker Lewis Can't Lose was the film's more successful Spiritual Successor (and some say was the real TV adaptation). A spin-off series featuring the two valets who took the Ferrari for a joy ride is currently in development.La-La Land Records finally released a Paramount-sanctioned soundtrack album in 2016; see the Trivia tab for why it took so long.Also happens to be movie critic Richard Roeper's favorite film.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Ferris and Cameron, possibly. They've been best friends since at least the fifth grade, and when Sloane jumps into the car with him she looks down where Cameron is crouched and says cheerfully, "Hi, Cameron, are you comfortable?" as if this sort of thing has happened before. ("Hi, Sloane. No.")

All There in the Script
 Ferris Bueller's Day Off / int_222969af
comment
All There in the Script: Charlie Sheen's stoner character is named Garth Volbeck. The film doesn't mention this. Also, a deleted backstory shows that he and Ferris were friends in the eighth grade. Garth's family's pretty messed up, and Ferris tried to help him and be his friend, but Garth eventually dropped out of high school and wound up in the police station next to Jeannie. That's why Ferris is so intent on giving Cameron a good time — he blames himself for not helping Garth enough when he could — and why Garth knows who Ferris is when he talks with Jeannie. According to the original script, Sloane has a brother and her father left the family for a twenty-five year old bimbo.

Funny Background Event
 Ferris Bueller's Day Off / int_26eb6287
comment
Funny Background Event: Several: When they go to pick up Cameron's dad's 1961 Ferrari 250GT California at the end of the day, they stand outside the parking garage talking... while, in the corner of the screen, we see the garage attendants bringing the car in through a different entrance after having spent the day joyriding in it. You can also see the car pulling out of the garage right after the gang has dropped it off, and the second attendant jumps in and shouts "Go! Go!" Audio example: Earlier in the film, when Ed waits for Sloan's "father" to pick her up, the action is briefly shot from inside the school, where the economics teacher (Ben Stein) is still heard droning on and on. After a scene where it looked like Jeannie will punch the stoner guy out at the police station, we have her mom talking with a police officer while in the background we see Jeannie and the stoner guy starting to kiss each other. While the singing nurse sings, one of the delivery guys also at the door is moving his head in time to her song with a goofy grin on his face.

Ambiguously Jewish: While Ferris and Jeannie's parents are as WASP-y as they come, their children are portrayed by actors who both are Jewish and "look" very Jewish. Matthew Broderick's accent sounds less Chicagoan than New York Jewish, and the name "Bueller" is German, which could go either way.

Dean Bitterman: Rooney. He's a pretty strict disciplinarian and has declared Ferris his Arch-Enemy because the kid is the local High-School Hustler with nine absent days (before Ferris hacked the computer). Take note that Cameron is also home sick and Rooney doesn't decide to personally visit him to make sure he's actually sick. And from what we can infer from Ferris' comments about Cameron, he probably takes a lot of sick days as well.

Actor Allusion: Ferris hacks into the school's system from his computer to change the number of absences he's had. That's not the first time Broderick hacked into his school's system. Though Bueller is less enthusiastic about it:

Secret Message Wink: Twice, at pivotal moments: When Ferris fakes being sick in front of his parents, he gives Jeanie a wink after she sees right through him. At the end of Ferris' day off, Rooney is about to punish him with another year of high school, but Jeanie steps in and acts concerned for him as if he's sick, giving him a wink to let him know she's helping him avoid punishment.

Know When to Fold Them: Jeannie's day starts to go better once she finally learns that doggedly pursuing her vendetta on Ferris is wrong (and not in the sense of "it's morally wrong" but rather in the sense of "why wreck her life trying to wreck his?"). She even delivers karma to Rooney (who is a very visual representation of that lesson) and may even get the last laugh in the long term considering that her parents won't be able to buy Ferris a car as soon as they wanted thanks to the events of the day.

Properly Paranoid: Cameron doesn't want to leave his dad's prized Ferrari at a garage in the care of a sleazy-looking attendant. He does so only after some persuasion by Ferris. It turns out his worries were absolutely justified as the attendant and his friend take the car on a joyride only seconds after they leave, adding dozens of miles onto the car. Also Rooney, about Ferris. And vice-versa. Jeannie leaves school early to check to see if Ferris is faking being sick and is proven to be right when she bursts into Ferris' room to find a dummy and a recording of his snoring.

Symbolic Serene Submersion: Played with. Cameron is too anxious to swim and sits poised by the side of the pool. However, he eventually lets himself drop into the pool on Ferris's urging...only to keep sinking and sinking until Ferris jumps in and grabs him. Cameron seems serene, but he is actually bordering on catatonic due to being overwhelmed by his own anxiety and fear. But the pool shows how much Cameron needs Ferris and how desperately he also needs to loosen up.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ferris is pretty much this. He's manipulative, selfish, and keeps pressuring Cameron into doing things he doesn't want to do, among other things. However, he genuinely cares about Cameron and his girlfriend. He's surprisingly well-meaning despite how troublemaking he is, as he genuinely believes he's helping Cameron by forcing him to have fun with him on their day off and does feel bad when Cameron kicks the car over the glass, even offering to take the blame for it.

Wise Beyond Their Years: Ferris. Conventional wisdom would tell us that he should be studying, preparing for his future, but he knows that the future is now; it's today. He's not going to spend his whole life wishing he had done something, he just does it. He also helps give Cameron the confidence to move beyond his Parental Issues and take control of his own life, all while thwarting the attempts of Rooney to bring him down and imprison him in yet another year of high school.

Police Are Useless: They arrest Jeanie when she calls to report a "prowler" in her home and they find no one there. Perhaps they are suspicious since she's skipping school, but a halfhearted search would have immediately turned up Rooney's wallet... Also odd in that they didn't check in on Ferris to make sure he was okay... and didn't realize that someone had left their wallet in the house. It would have vindicated Jeannie and gotten Rooney in serious trouble. The fact that Jeannie finds it and returns it to Rooney shows that she is well-aware of this fact.

Mistaken for Prank Call
 Ferris Bueller's Day Off / int_5aab58a6
comment
Mistaken for Prank Call: Rooney gets a phone call from Sloane's father saying that her grandmother has died. Knowing that Sloane is Ferris Bueller's girlfriend, and that Ferris is skipping out on school, Rooney assumes that Ferris is pranking him. So he insults the "father", demanding that he bring the grandmother's body up to the school for confirmation. Then Ferris calls line two. Then, as Rooney stammers an apology to Sloane's father, a subversion occurs: we discover that it was Ferris' buddy Cameron who was making the phone call. So it's a prank call mistaken for Mistaken for Prank Call. Played straight when Jeannie calls 911 after she finds Rooney snooping around her house. When the police arrive, Rooney is gone, so they assume Jeannie was prank calling and arrest her.

Creative Closing Credits: A screen alongside the credits reel shows the now-humiliated Rooney get on a standard school bus (because he illegally parked in front of the Buellers' near a fire hydrant and his car was towed) and meet a bunch of students, almost all of whom give him a Death Glare (there's also a Take That! directed towards Rooney scribbled on the roof of the bus).

Bavarian Fire Drill: Cameron attempts this while on the phone to Rooney, claiming to be Sloane's father and that her grandmother has died. Rooney assumes it's Ferris and abuses him over the phone, just as Ferris calls in on another line to talk to him. They also use this as a trio at an upmarket club to have lunch pretending to be a preexisting booking, with Ferris using a phone from another room to trick the head waiter. Then there's the famous "Twist and Shout" scene. How he got onto a parade float with a group of Bavarian girls is left unexplained, but by that point in the movie, he'd previously demonstrated his aptitude with Bavarian Fire Drills.

Jerkass Has a Point: while there are numerous jerks in the movie, they also make some good points. Jeannie has extremely valid points fueling her resentment toward Ferris and the degree of favoritism their parents show him- exemplified when she gets arrested by the police for making a legitimate call about an actual intruder in her house and her mother is furious at her for interrupting her day. Ferris wasn't wrong about Cameron needing to take control of his own life and stand up to his father's abuse, even if his attempted solution is bullying him into a skip day where they do a bunch of things Ferris wants to do.

Missed Him by That Much: Ferris was saved multiple times by this trope: Rooney happened to be watching the ball game Ferris was attending, but had his head turned away when Ferris was on screen. Jeannie sees Ferris running home in her side-mirror, but he's gone before she can show her mother. Before that, he actually ran into the car. The papers Mrs. Bueller is holding fly into her face, preventing her from seeing him. Ferris' dad sees him. Twice. Each time he looks back Ferris is gone (the first time replaced by Sloane in a Paper-Thin Disguise) and he decides it was nothing.

From there, it spreads through the school, mutating into Ferris having a life-threatening condition, followed by numerous get well gifts delivered to his home, a fund raising campaign to pay for life-saving surgery, and having "Save Ferris" painted on the side of a water tower. Ferris's sister Jeannie and Dean Rooney aren't fooled, but the former thwarts the latter's attempt to Pull the Thread after pulling a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the movie.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Jeannie phones the police of Rooney's intrusion in her home, she tells Rooney over the intercom to get out or the police will get him. She didn't stop to think that having her intruder leave her home would result in the police thinking that Jeannie pranked them with a phone call and have her come in for questioning.

Apathetic Teacher: Ferris' economics teacher puts zero effort into keeping his class engaged, resulting in the students zoning out while he drones on lecturing. When he takes attendance and doesn't get a response, he just repeats the student's surname over and over instead of noticing they clearly aren't in the room.

Cool Car: "The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California.". The car featured in the film is actually a fiberglass replica built on a custom chassis, though a real one was used for extreme closeups at the beginning. Today, a real version would cost upwards of $10 million, almost the entire budget in 1986 dollars.

Didn't Think This Through: Jeannie should've waited instead of telling Rooney to get out of her house or the police will get him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been mistaken for a phone call prankster and taken into police custody. Ferris' recording hooked up to the doorbell hinged on the idea that someone (namely Rooney) wouldn't just ring the doorbell a second time.

Non-Giving-Up School Guy: Rooney. It's a bit of a Deconstructed Trope though, since his single-minded mission to bring back Ferris led him to commit things like breaking and entering. Also subverted in that Rooney doesn't care about Ferris's future like how this trope usually plays; Rooney says himself that he wants revenge. In fact, he is determined to destroy Ferris's life, and says so.

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Ferris prepares one to answer the intercom if anyone rings the doorbell at his house. The responses are keyed to the intercom, so he gets around the awkward pauses, and his responses are vague enough to work for nearly any response. The plan falls through when Rooney keeps ringing the doorbell, cycling back to the first message and betraying the ruse. Earlier in the movie after a bedridden Cameron gets off the phone with Ferris:

Cameron spends much of the movie fearing his father's fury once he figures out Cameron, Sloane and Ferris borrowed the vehicle for a day. Cameron finding a meaningful way to confront his father regarding the vehicle's unexpected additional mileage and destruction is the actual point of the movie.

Contemplate Our Navels: The scene in the art gallery brilliantly uses this trope in regards to Cameron, who has been worrying about nearly every detail of their journey. As his gaze zooms in on the pointillistnote A style of painting from the late 1800s in which small points of paint made up a full image Seurat painting to find the details within it, he sees less and less of those details, finding only contextless dots. The realization to let go and enjoy his journey shows up in his eyes, and works — at least until he notices the odometer on the car.

Nice to the Waiter: Inverted at Chez Quis, moreso after Ferris pulls off the trick, and partially justified as the maitre'd is a bit of a French Jerk (well, at least, it's a French restaurant). To be fair, Ferris started by trying to be nice, but that got nowhere. Subverted with the parking lot staff. Ferris attempts to treat them well to get special treatment for the car, and they go and do the exact opposite. Though perhaps they were just as insulted at being slipped a mere "fin" as the maitre d' was. Played straight with the Chez Quis bathroom attendant. Ferris slips him a nice tip, and the attendant gives him a very happy thank you.

Absurdly Powerful School Jurisdiction: School dean Rooney scours the city looking for Ferris to punish him for not being at school, despite the fact that Ferris has an excused absence from his parents, thus meaning there should be nothing Rooney can do.

Although he never gets caught by his parents or punished by Dean Rooney, Mrs. Bueller tells Jeanie that had she been able to close the Vermont deal, which she lost due to having to pick Jeanie up from the police station, she would have used the money she earned from the commission to buy Ferris a car.

Adults Are Useless
 Ferris Bueller's Day Off / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: Both Tom and Katie Bueller are too preoccupied with their careers to notice that Ferris is walking all over them and getting away with anything he wants to. The few times they're anywhere close to catching him in the act of truancy they completely miss out on the clues. Most of the teachers at Ferris' school are dull, dry, ineffective instructors whose encouragement of rote memorization instead of actually engaging the students in relevant material makes for an incredibly outdated teaching method. Little wonder that truancy and apathy are major problems at this (unnamed) high school. Dean Rooney has zero control over his school due to the teachers failing to engage the students in learning and his own extreme preoccupation with trying to incriminate Ferris.

Oh, Crap!: Rooney, when Grace tells him that Ferris is on Line 2, having previously thought he was just talking to him. Also when he confronts "Ferris" in the pizza parlor, but actually a short-haired girl. Enjoy your Pepsi, Ed! Ferris, when Rooney confronts him. He gets a "Hell, Yes!" Moment when Jeannie appears and bails him out. Again Rooney, when he sees the Buellers' dog. Again Rooney, when Jeannie produces his wallet. Cameron, and to a lesser extent Ferris and Sloane, when the car gets kicked off the stand. The trio come within an eyelash of getting caught by Ferris's dad, TWICE. And, of course, when "Cameron goes berserk."

Coming of Age Story: The film takes place toward the end of the kids' senior year. They talk about how their lives will soon be changing as they finish school and join the adult world. Cameron is really the only character we see change, however. Through the course of the story he goes from a depressed hypochondriac to a more assertive adult who plans on having it out with his emotionally distant father.

Hard Truth Aesop: Paralleling Ferris' adventures is both his sister Jeannie and Dean Rooney trying to find evidence of his deceitful behavior and convince others that he is really a delinquent charming his way around people. Jeannie ends up learning (from a guy at the police station arrested for drugs) that her problems with Ferris was not about anything he has done to her, so her resentment was more about her. She learns to let it go and her life and demeanor immediately improves, while Rooney never lets it go and ends the movie as miserable as he could be. Even though Ferris would be in trouble once exposed, pursuing vendettas out of spite is not a healthy way to live.

The Last Straw: A furious Cameron kicks in the front grill of his father's car, breaking the grill, denting the fender, and shattering the headlights—and at the same time causing the jack holding the spinning rear wheels up to tilt dangerously backwards, which the kids don't notice. Cameron almost kicks the car one more time, then calms down. He casually leans on the bumper, and that's what causes the jack to fall over, sending the car flying out of the garage and crashing into the gully below.

comment
Shout-Out: The Beatles receive several. Ferris has a Cabaret Voltaire poster in his room. The Star Wars theme blares as the Ferrari flies over the camera, similar to the opening shot of the Star Destroyer. The fancy French restaurant looks like the same layout as the one in The Blues Brothers (The scene in The Blues Brothers was filmed at famous (at the time; it's since been closed) Chicago restaurant Chez Paul. The one used in this film was designed to look similar, since it is also based in Chicago. Also, the dance sequence at the end of the Parade Scene was taken from the people dancing in front of Ray's Music Exchange, and when Cameron "Goes Berserk", the same statues seen when the Bluesmobile falls apart are shown again. Ferris using his computer to hack his school attendance records is a call back to Broderick's previous role in WarGames where one of his earliest acts is to hack the school computer to give himself a passing grade.

Threesome Subtext: Ferris Bueller is terrified of the idea of being separated from his girlfriend Sloane… and his best friend Cameron, who he is very dedicated to. As for Cameron and Sloane, there's some chemistry between them.

Her all-round Jerkass attitude is most probably the reason for this, which is in direct contrast to her much more likable Karma Houdini brother who gets away with everything.

Lovable Rogue: Ferris. Although time has made many people really deliberate whether or not "lovable" truly fits with him. At the very least he says he wants to give his friends a good time, and succeeds after a fashion. He even tries to take the heat for trashing the Ferrari, and considering how neurotic Cameron was up until that exact point, he had no reason to believe Cameron would turn him down.

comment
Last of His Kind: Along with Pretty in Pink, which was released in the same year, and Some Kind of Wonderful, which was released a year later, this film pretty much marked the end of an era for John Hughes. After making those three films, Hughes decided that it was time for him to grow up cinematically, and thus he began cranking out films that were more oriented towards adults, such as Planes, Trains and Automobiles and The Great Outdoors. On the other hand, in the 1990s he turned toward slapstick children's movies he wrote and produced but did not direct, starting with Home Alone.

Watch the Paint Job: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. ("Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion." = "this car will be horrifically damaged beyond repair for comedy/pathos purposes.") Of course, in a mild subversion, the car is not totaled by Wacky Fratboy Hijinx. All that did was suspiciously increase the odometer. What actually caused it was Cameron deliberately kicking it in anger, causing it to crash right out of the showroom and off a ledge.

comment
Artistic License – Cars: Cameron's dad's Ferrari has a back seat, while the real 250 GT Spyder California was a two seater. They did use a real one for the film, but only for closeups, and the rest of the photography was done in a fiberglass replica. The Ferrari's odometer is unable to turn back when put in reverse. The mechanism to prevent that was not mandated or even available until the 1970s, meaning the odometer on a 1961 model would roll back when driven in reverse. Given that Cameron's dad spent three years restoring it, he may have also modified it to add the anti-rollback mechanism.

comment
Pick on Someone Your Own Size: Ed Rooney's disproportionate obsession with taking down Ferris Bueller is pretty much the only thing that makes him a proper villain; if he stayed within his jurisdiction as Ferris's principal and just punished Ferris for constantly skipping school and breaking rules, you'd have to side with him.

Distracted by the Sexy: Ferris might have only five minutes to run home from Sloane's, but that doesn't mean he won't stop to flirt with a couple of swimsuit-clad blondes.

Crowd Song: Not only does everybody in Chicago sing along to "Twist and Shout", but many of them dance in unison too. Somewhat justified, as it's a well-known song/dance.

comment
Inspector Javert: Dean Rooney. Say what you will about Ferris being manipulative, but dropping a flowerpot on a dog's head and breaking into a student's house is taking things too far. In retrospect, even if Rooney's plan had succeeded, he wouldn't have been holding Ferris back under his "personal supervision" - he'd have been fired for breaking and entering into Ferris's house, and probably faced Criminal Trespass charges. (At least in any real life situation.)

Devil in Plain Sight: Ferris. Even if the idea of him being a full-blown sociopath is strictly in the realm of fanon, he still is a pretty big jerk (even bigger in the original screenplay) and can convince most grown-ups he's an angel with immense ease.

Recorded Audio Alibi: Ferris rigs up a recording of himself snoring as part of his elaborate Sleeping Dummy, with the recording triggered if anyone opens the bedroom door to look in. He also sets up a prerecorded message to trigger when the doorbell is rung to trick outsiders into thinking he's sick in bed. Rooney catches on that Bueller isn't home the second time he rings the doorbell.

Product Placement
 Ferris Bueller's Day Off / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: Ferris watches MTV early in the film. The year it came out was also the year media conglomerate Viacom bought the networknote Ironically, Viacom would later buy Paramount in 1995., who made sure to place its logo in every film they could find. You can also see an early example of product placement when Ferris is seen drinking Pepsi not once, but twice, with the label shown prominently each time. A Jingle for real-life radio station WLS, along with some DJ banter also plays at the beginning to help identify where the film takes place.

Awkward Stoplight Moment: Ferris, Cameron, and Sloane at a stoplight in a taxi, right next to Ferris' dad while he's reading a newspaper in another taxi. His dad glances at them once and when he looks at them again, Sloane takes Ferris's spot and wears sunglasses to disguise herself while Ferris and Cameron hide below their seat.

Senior Year Struggles: One of the reasons Ferris takes Cameron and Sloane to Chicago with him is because as seniors it's probably going to be the last big adventure they'll have together; he knows that he and Cameron will be going their separate ways after they graduate so he wants to make the most of that day off.

Have a Gay Old Time: Jeannie responds to an offer of drugs with "I'm straight." "Straight" is still sometimes used to mean drug-free or more of a "no thanks, I'm okay", but more often refers to sexual orientation. The term clean would be more common and specific.

Comically Missing the Point: Rooney is chewing over the fact that the title character is absent from school yet again, and he mutters, "I don't trust that kid any further than I can throw him." This prompts the cheerful secretary to respond, "Well, with your bad knee, Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody." He's somewhat less than calmed by her concern.

Brick Joke: At the beginning, we see Ferris preparing something with his trophy, and start singing "Danke Schoen." He then sings "Twist and Shout" during his shower. Later, we see that he has used his trophy as part of a Rube Goldberg Device to deceive his parents, and even later, he sings "Danke Schoen" in one of the great scenes of the movie (followed by... "Twist and Shout"). Rooney is even humming "Danke Schoen" when at Ferris' home.
