Ferris Bueller's Day Off Questions

Bring on the tough stuff. There’s not just one right answer.

  1. Who is the film's protagonist? Are you #TeamFerris or #TeamCameron? Maybe you're #TeamJeanieā€¦ but probably not.
  2. Why is Sloane even in this movie?
  3. Ferris never meets a fourth wall he can't break. What's up with all of the monologues? What purpose(s) are they intended to serve?
  4. Would the movie be better or worse if we actually saw Cameron's dad?
  5. The movie repeatedly stretches the limits of realism and believability. Is this a problem? Does it detract from the film at all?
  6. Be honest: Does Cameron see Sloane changing by the pool? Does Cameron have a crush on his best friend's girl?
  7. Let's say you're Jeanie. Do you bail Ferris out at the back door, or do you let Rooney take him down?
  8. Where are all the people of color?
  9. All things considered, is Ferris a good friend? Is he a good boyfriend?
  10. Should Rooney be fired after all of this?
