Breezy, smart-alecky fun.

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]

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]

Schlatter is smug and superficial, nothing more. He has no chemistry with his love interest, the pretty but vacant Sloan (Ami Dolenz). The other actors are reduced to slogging through caricatures. It's going to get pretty boring, week after week. [23 Aug 1990, p.1]

Ferris Bueller is the proverbial lead balloon. [23 Aug 1990, p.D1]

It's hard to say why Charlie Schlatter is so annoying as TV's version of the high school prankster played by Matthew Broderick in Ferris Bueller's Day Off...But whatever it is - maybe consummate smugness - makes for a thoroughly irritating television experience. [23 Aug 1990, p.E1]
