Not particularly, but I didn't dislike it either, it was just sort of on and I was watching it. I chuckled mildly on two ocassions, when Cameron pretends to be a policeman in the restaurant and when the Star Wars music plays before you see the Ferrari. In terms of that style of film I much preferred Road Trip.

See, now I can bring to mind just about the entirety of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, yet I struggle to recall anything of Road Trip, although I know I've seen it. Oh wait, there was a skinny white guy sleeping with a much larger black woman, wasn't there? And a car jump over a knackered bridge?

Yes it borrows heavily from Ferris Bueller i now realise, especially in the optimistic coming of age and future opportunities tone, I think crucially I saw Road Trip for the first time when I was 15

Love Bueller, but I've never seen Breakfast Club in it's entirety, or Planes, Trains And Automobiles  He did a brilliant job on the first two Home Alones though  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Uncle Buck is a great film! Breakfast Club too. Oh, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off....but mainly because of Mia Sara

She was great  Could do with a better agent these days though, possibly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mia_SaraA pic from recent years, she's now involved with Jim Henson's son apparently (no idea if this is him or not):  _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

Sky Modern Greats had a tribute on last night. Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day off. Didn't bother watching them as I've got them on DVD anyway. Tell a lie, I watched the last 15 minutes of Breakfast Club while my wife was doing the washing up.
My favourite John Hughes film is Weird Science, though I expect I'll be in the minority over that one.
