Here’s Your Ferris Bueller-Themed Honda Super Bowl Ad

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The mysterious Ferris Bueller-themed Honda commercial that I was telling you about last week has been unveiled. On the one hand, it’s just Matthew Broderick and a string of references to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , with the actor calling out ill to work to go frolic around town in his Honda CR-V. So technically, no legacies were harmed in the making of this TV spot. On the other hand, for a guy who’s supposed to be having a day off, I don’t know if I’ve never seen Broderick work harder in my life. Anyway, give it a try! It’s only 145 seconds, and will at least buy you a built-in bathroom break this coming Super Bowl Sunday. Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Posted on June 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The films of John Hughes belong to a class of nostalgia and greatness all their own, but 25 years on, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a particularly universal moment of brilliance in the late director’s career. On June 11, 1986, the Matthew Broderick vehicle about delinquency, high school malaise, and budding adulthood opened in theaters, and now, Movieline is thrilled to rehash its most underrated moment.

SXSW: All Hail Wiig! Bridesmaids Proves That Chick Flicks Don’t Have to Suck

Posted on March 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

SNL superstar Kristen Wiig breezed into Austin midnight Sunday for what director Paul Feig accurately termed “Kristen Wiig Appreciation Night” — a double header of this Friday’s Paul followed by a special work in progress screening of this summer’s Bridesmaids . The May 13 comedy marks Wiig’s first honest-to-goodness starring vehicle, an event in itself, but here’s even better news: Bridesmaids isn’t just the smart and grounded antidote to the shrill chick flicks we all hate; it’s the most raunchy, sweet and wonderfully vulgar R-rated comedy in recent memory. Bring it, Hangover 2 .
