Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

When it comes to high school type movies, none have scope quite as broad as this one. From high speed Ferrari jumps, to marching band street parades, to sitting in a booth at the stock market, this goes beyond the typical love-struck teens-in-a-troublesome-time flick. 

To me, it seems strangely unbalanced. There are talking to the camera moments, but it ignores this to be a serious straight line film later on. It waivers between being a parody and being just funny. It can't decide, like I can't when I have to say if its good or not.
