Ok, I watched this today in English class.
Well, I'd say it's pretty good. My mom described it to me as humor for smart people and I asked her if I would think it was Breakfast Club-y, because you know John Hughes filmed both movies, and she said I might and I might not, but that this movie was way better than the Breakfast Club and that I wouldn't think it was, as I like to say, "impressionable." She knows me so well, because I thought it was great. =)
I mean it's not the
best movie I've ever seen, but it's definitely very funny and entertaining. So what I mean to say is, you don't ever lose interest in the film even if it's not the greatest.
I didn't like some parts of the film. For example, the whole thing with Mr. Rooney hating this kid so much to the point of intruding his house. That just doesn't happen, but it doesn't lose it's humor even if it's not believable. Quite a lot of the parts aren't believable, but even so, it doesn't lose it's quality in making you laugh, so I think that's what keeps it from sucking.
I don't like Cameron. Gosh, I hate Cameron. Such a pushover. Maybe I should hate Ferris for treating him like that, but of course, there would be no movie without Cameron lending him the car and whatnot.
And the ending, I liked it but at the same time I didn't, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone of course XD
Lol, so I rate it 6.8/10. Mostly because I didn't find it to be very realistic (it's plausible, but maybe 1/1,000,000 chance lol) and it wasn't a great representation of high school (imo, most high school movies are bad representations of high school).
This was my favorite scene. <3
