Time - Richard Schickel
Ferris and his adventures represent a teen's dream of glory: to have, at one's fingertips, the technical skills to sabotage the adult world's machinery of oppression and, at the tip of one's tongue, the perfect squelch for grownups' moralistic blather. [23 June 1986]

Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
When people think fondly of John Hughes, it's movies like Ferris Bueller that they're thinking of.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Unnamed
This is the funniest teen movie I've seen in eons.
80
Film Threat - Brad Laidman
This is John Hughes' best teen film, and it's a call to arms to everyone in the world who doesn't want to follow society's lame-ass rules at the expense of living a cool life.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The film's heart is in the right place, and Ferris Bueller is slight, whimsical and sweet.
