Bingo. I spend that movie pretty much wanting to punch Matthew Broderick.
It's in the script.
We all have that friend. My BFF and I both swear that it's the other one that fits that role.
You know, there are some kids that are able to straddle all the layers. Like I said, I think Ferris was very punchable BUT he seems to have been innocuous enough to be friendly to ALL the groups.
I've always been more struck why Mia Sara was his GF.
