Great comedy movie for the 1980’s while Ferris acts sick just so that he can skip school and getting his parents to fall for the act be finding ways to sound sick and make his hands feel cold and clammy. As he is putting on the full act his sister stands back tapping her foot knowing he is acting and then Ferris winks at her to really get her going. After the parents leave for work you see Ferris working on his piano with computer hook up to make various sound of coughing and other bodily functions which indicate how sick he sounds.
As the movie goes you get the feeling that the principle Ed and his sister are about the only two people that believe Ferris is playing a trick to skip school. All the students and facility as well as the police department are wishing his to get better.
Ed receives a phone call from Slone’s supposed father and he thinks Ferris is who he is talking to so he begins to make up bad things about the dead grandmother and all of a sudden line two rings and it is Ferris wanting to talk to Ed. Now Ed is back peddling and freaking out that he said so many bad things about the grandmother that he is doing all he can to make it up to the father. Ferris makes the timing of calling in as the stunt goes on making the timing of getting people in deep enough that they don’t think about the recovery they just get done what need to be done.
Ed decides that he needs to catch Ferris and heads over to his house and at the same time the sister feels like catching him as well. They both seek up on each other in the kitchen hallway and being totally surprised that it isn’t Ferris she kicks Ed multiple times and lays him out on the floor while she runs upstairs screaming. She calls the police who don’t take her seriously and how protective she is about her body that she than taps the house speaker and tells the intruder that she called the police and she has her dad’s gun as well as has a severe case of herpes. Timing on how she feels about her body to informing the man in the kitchen to help scare them off.
Let’s not forget the humility of Ed having to ride the bus back to school with the kids in the condition he looks and the only seat open is next to a girl with 3” thick glasses and she smiles at him like he is her crush. Then the girl offers him a gummy bear that has been in her pocket all day. Can we end on a better note of how weird that was and how the note book says save Ferris.
