Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Friday, January 22nd at 7 pm we bring you the John Hughes' 1986 (celebrating its 30th Anniversary) film, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", starring Matthew Broderick.

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 (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch Bueller in the act of class-cutting.

Writer/director John Hughes once again tries to wed satire, slapstick, and social commentary, as Ferris Bueller's Day Off starts like a house afire and goes on to make "serious" points about status-seeking and casual parental cruelties. It brightens up considerably in the last few moments, when Ferris' tattletale sister (Jennifer Grey) decides to align herself with her merry prankster sibling.

Tickets for this movie are $7.00 general admission and available online, at Seastrand (919 Linden Ave., with cash or check only) and at the theater box office prior to showtime.

This film is rated PG-13 and has a run time of an hour and 43 minutes.
