Matthew Broderick reprised his role from the 1980s classic film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) in a commercial for Honda. Reportedly, a version of the commercial will appear during the Super Bowl, but the extended commercial has just been released on the Internet, called “Matthew Broderick’s Day Off.”
There are a number of references to the film in the commercial. How many can you see? Some references are obvious while others are less obvious, like the name of Broderick’s agent, Walter Linder, which was listed above the name of Abe Froman (the Sausage King of Chicago) in the reservation book in the fancy restaurant in the film.
Some of the references go by like life. Remember, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” While you are thinking about the film, check out Ferris Bueller Was Dating His Sister in Real Life (Plus 15 Other Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Ferris Bueller’s Day Off).
