Recommended: Ferris Bueller’s Day Off <http://snipurl.com/3fjzd> Like a soda pop left open all night, Bueller seems to have lost its effervescence over time. Sure, Matthew Broderick is still appealing as the perennial truant, Ferris, who fakes his parents out and takes one memorable day off from school. Jeffrey Jones is nasty and scheming as the principal who’s out to catch him. Jennifer Grey is winning as Ferris’s sister (who ends up making out in the police station with a prophetic vision of Charlie Sheen). But there’s a definite sense that this film was of a particular time frame: the ‘80s. It’s still fun, though. There’s Ferris singing “Twist and Shout” during a Chicago parade, and a lovely sequence in the Art Institute. But don’t get it and expect your kids to love it the way you did. Like it or not, it’s yours alone.
