🎬 Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 2 (2025)
👉 Matthew Broderick, Alan Ruck, Mia Sara
Life still moves pretty fast — and Ferris Bueller hasn’t lost his knack for outrunning responsibility. Decades after his legendary high school escapade, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 2 brings back the iconic slacker-turned-folk-hero (Matthew Broderick), now older, a little wiser, but still allergic to rules. This time, it’s not about cutting class — it’s about escaping the grind of adulthood, family obligations, and a world that never seems to slow down.
When Ferris realizes he’s become the very thing he once mocked — a man chained to schedules, work, and routine — he decides to reclaim his spirit the only way he knows how: by staging the ultimate “day off.” With the help of his loyal best friend Cameron (Alan Ruck), still neurotic but fiercely loyal, and his longtime love Sloane (Mia Sara), who hasn’t forgotten the magic of their youth, Ferris sets out to rediscover the joy of spontaneity.
But Chicago has changed since their teenage rebellion. Instead of sneaking past a high school principal, they now face nosy bosses, overbooked calendars, and children who don’t quite understand why their parents are behaving like teenagers. The adventure takes them through the heart of the city once more — from crashing high-profile events to revisiting old haunts, to pulling off stunts that blur the line between nostalgia and sheer madness.
Packed with sly callbacks to the original — yes, the Ferrari makes an appearance — the sequel balances laugh-out-loud antics with bittersweet reflections on time, friendship, and the importance of never letting go of your inner rebel. Ferris may be older, but his charm, wit, and refusal to conform prove as unstoppable as ever.
With Matthew Broderick slipping seamlessly back into his most iconic role, Alan Ruck delivering a heartfelt evolution of Cameron, and Mia Sara grounding the chaos with warmth and grace, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 2 captures both the hilarity and heart of John Hughes’s original vision.
Ultimately, the film is a reminder that while youth may fade, the spirit of rebellion — and the need to stop and look around once in a while — never truly does. Because sometimes, the only cure for life’s monotony is a perfect day off.
