Ferris Bueller's Day Off is one of my all time favorites. It is an Excellent movie about seeing your own personal value and realizing your potential. I think a little bit of every character lives inside us and it is that constant struggle that makes this life fun. At times we are much like Cameron; conservative, unhappy, and insecure. Other times we are like Ferris; uninhibited, fun-loving, and relaxed. We all need to realize that we control our lives and determine our future. I think Cameron put it best when he said, "I am not going to sit on my ass as the events that affect me unfold to determine the course of my life. I'm going to take a stand. I'm going to defend it. Right or wrong, I'm going to defend it." We should all strive to be memorable in this life, to take some advice from Ferris. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."

I think John Hughes knew what he was doing when he made this movie and I'm grateful to him for it.

I give it a 10 out of 10

I think a lot of people have seen "Single's Ward" by the same writing/production team and expected "The R.M." to be the sequel. I know that I went under that impression, so it came as quite a surprise when the same ol' cast from Single's Ward were playing very different parts. It was a good movie that very much reminded me of an LDS version of the "Meet the Parents" (Nothing seems to go right). While there were many funny scenes that most any returned missionary could relate to, the film seemed to try to take the R.M. stereotypes a little to the extreme. I felt the plot suffered a little just to get a laugh. All in all I enjoyed the movie and hope that the Hales continue to put out films. If you're LDS and you want a good laugh I don't think you can go wrong with this one.
