It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The first must-see film of the year.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

So when I first heard about it, I thought it was going to be bad because of the different casting, but I decided to give it a try (all 13 episodes were available on YouTube), and I actually enjoyed it! It may not go up to the level like the movie, but it was really great. I loved how it added more adventures to the FB universe and it kind of helped us discover more about what Ferris does on campus.Some of the portrayals I didn't like. Schlatter's Ferris can be unsupportive and arrogant at times, but I liked the way he used flattery and sarcasm to joke around with others. I didn't like how Sloane was portrayed. In the show, she is too serious and worried about getting in trouble. She kinda is in the movie's restaurant scene, but not very often. I did like the way Cameron was portrayed. I, especially, LOVED the way Rooney and Jeanie were portrayed. Their actors nailed their role perfectly.The episodes alone were pretty good, especially E2. I liked it's message about how the school system is too hard on the students and school quality is always poor, and sadly it's still like that today.Overall, it was amazing. Not as gold as the film, but it was still entertaining.

You can't blame them really. With 'Ferris Bueller' being such a hug film (which it still is to this day) you can't blame TV networks for wanting to exploit that in some way.This TV series version of the film isn't bad, it just pales heavily in comparison, and everyone playing the main roles sadly isn't as good as their film counterparts.It was a nice idea, it just didn't work.

I've given this series 1/10 but I believe this to be too high. But IMDb only permits ratings of between 1 & 10 so I cannot give this the negative score that it so well deserves. If you liked the "classic-doesn't-come-close-to-describing-it" movie then you will hate this and find it as blasphemous as reading the Q'ran in church. It recasts the characters from the greatest movie ever made with lesser actors (not even Jennifer Anniston can save it) and begins with FakeFerris desecrating a promo for the movie in something of a meta-reference to what this TV series does, intentional or not. Only thirteen episodes were ever made and it was cancelled after only twelve had aired (with the thirteenth airing the next year) but they are all so terrible that I'd suggest even one is too many. Whoever was responsible for this should be hunted down and punished for their sins. This is a crime against humanity. AVOID!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off was a modern classic. A clever, lovable film. This, on the other hand, just doesn't work. It isn't trying to insult the original, but it can't help it. Don't watch it, and don't worry about it. It was a bad idea which luckily wasn't on the tube very long.
