Ferris Bueller, at least, confronts its source up close and personal in the opening scene and gets it out of the way. [22 Aug 1990, p.D-9]
-
I can't imagine an insufferable little twerp like this hanging around NBC's lineup for too long.
-
On the surface, Ferris Bueller can be seen and judged as harmless, high-tech hijinks. But it's subtly subversive, implying that success and popularity are the result of cunning and subterfuge rather than work and honesty. That's the same sort of greedy disregard for rules and regulations that got this country in its messy savings-and-loan quagmire. [23 Aug 1990, p.19]

Lacks the sharper edge of Hughes' movie. [23 Aug 1990]
