...Lowdown: St. John's narrative is laced with intimate portraits and fresh figures - did you know the resale value of a stadium's worth of tickets exceeds $500 million, or that Americans consume eight million pounds of guacamole on game day? - that enliven the organizational challenge of carrying off the world's biggest bash without a hitch. The choice to ignore the superstars on the field in favor of the game's unsung laborers is a refreshing angle, even if he seems half-ready to douse them in Gatorade.

Although the sinister score may give atmosphere to the setting, it does little to enliven the scenes of the musical...

...Kaminski and write the artist’s definitive biography. But he soon gets sidetracked from this task, finding himself on a road trip with the painter to the city.

...will spring his best girl (Mia Sara) from school. He will get his best friend (Alan Ruck, who is lovely as a boy struggling for security) to abscond with the family Ferrari so they can tool about in style.

Chief among these are Ferris' sister (Jennifer Grey), who just hates the way he gets away with everything, and the dean of students (Jeffrey Jones), who distills all the pettiness of spirit and smallness of mind in a teen...
