"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is a pretty good movie until, like with many movies, the final third, where it becomes alarmingly like an indie coming-of-age movie that will wash over film festivals again this year.  Really.    If you can't spot every possible 2000s indie film cliché, right down to the music, the cut scenes and the faux drama, you just don't watch enough movies.
