John Hughes's 'Citizen Kane' is one of the finest in its genre. Set as a seemingly regular college-movie, it quickly transforms into a something much bigger with Broderick's Ferris becoming an almost mythical character, able to perform and get away with anything. As usual, the film is packed with the Hughesian trademark of subtle, yet clever, jokes, requiring some viewing to grasp. Hughes clearly had a great time with this movie (as did the cast) which adds to the general delight of watching the movie. Add some great performances by Jennifer Grey and Jeffrey Jones (and a killer Ferrari), FBDO is a movie to watch over and over again. The DVD includes a commentary track by John Hughes but sadly nothing else(is there a special edition in the making?)
