Reviews

saraseamount 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.

Dr Moo 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!

BigWhiskers This is not even camp bad . This is just awful with the smart ass Schlatter playing the so called real Ferris Bueller even going so far as to mocking the movie by dissing Matthew Broderick and cutting off the head of a cardboard cutout of Broderick as Ferris Bueller. This tactless dull comedy totally insults the film and the smart alecky Schlatter who is supposedly the real Ferris comes across as an annoying little whiner who needs to have his butt kicked. A young Jennifer Aniston plays his sister Jeannie to the same effect. Why they even produced this show is beyond me ,the movie was terrific and this shames it. Total BOMB.

cameron8979 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.
