Synopsis

The main character in a comedy is usually a little insecure, or obviously flawed in order to win our sympathy. Ferris Bueller isn't like that: he is a high school student who seems to always get his way. His cheeky yet lovable manner allows him to trick his parents and teachers so he can bunk off school and spend a fantastic day roaming about Chicago with his best friend Cameron and girlfriend Sloane. However, his jealous sister Jeannie and the school principal are far from impressed, and each set out to try and catch Ferris in his mischief. As the three teenagers explore the city, Ferris must stay one step ahead of them, while the community rallies to wish the charming teen a speedy recovery from his supposed sickness.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
