I’m sorry, but Matthew Broderick reprising his Ferris Bueller Role for the Super Bowl is just fucking sad and depressing. He’s a talented actor stuck in a creepy-weird child-like-old-man body that hasn’t actually done anything of value since The Producers stage play and ‘Election’. He gets a pass for doing one really good movie back in the 80’s, but hasn’t done anything worth value since. Unless his role in ‘Tower Heist’ was truly amazing, I’m pretty sure he’s still doing so-so roles in films people don’t actually see. It really seems like people want to believe in the myth of Matthew Broderick then acknowledging he’s someone that is in dire need of reinventing their career.

He was pretty good on that one episode of <i>Louie</i>, but otherwise, yeah. (Also, I have no idea if Tumblr replies allow HTML, so if you see italics code, I apologize.)

What was more absurd was people thinking it was to announce a sequel. That’s not how it works. Also, yes Alan Ruck IS better.

It’s a strange spot. Nostalgia for nostalgia’s sake - but without any heart or relatability. AND it’s using nostalgia to sell a new car, which doesn’t make much sense.
