Matthew Broderick's Ferris Bueller may be a fictional character, but his exploits might have been based on a real Chicago teenager.
The Big Picture A day away from school that includes lunch at a five-star restaurant, a Chicago Cubs game, a trip to the top of the John Hancock building, and a tour of the Chicago Museum of Modern Art made up the terrific 1986 summer film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. John Hughes directed the movie, which is one of many adored teen coming-of-age tales set in his beloved hometown.
But other events seem to be a bit harder to believe. For instance, while we don't doubt Ferris' level of audacity one bit, the idea of him commandeering a parade float in the middle of downtown Chicago to sing hits like "Danke Schein" from Wayne Newton and "Twist and Shout" by The Beatles is a bit out of the realm of possibility.
