Felix tries too hard to be Ferris

isap97

I'm just going to go right ahead and tell you not to waste your time with this. It tries to be some sort of tribute to Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off (FBDO), but instead it is a terrible TERRIBLE attempt at copying it. Felix? Seriously? They couldn't even find a name that wasn't so similar to Ferris. It was obvious from the very first sequences that the concept is basically the same, I mean come on, popular kid; the principal is the "villain"... The Skype call? That's like when Ferris uses his computer to alter the amount of absences he's had in the school's system. Addressing the audience is FBDO's trademark, so to speak. I could go on, but there's no point. If you want to watch an irreverent teen movie that's actually funny and original, watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, OK? Not this pseudo-comedy.

score 1/10
