Matthew Broderick needed a day off again after 26 long years, so the star of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” relived his iconic ’80s role by calling in sick and enjoying a day of fun in Los Angeles. To launch the 2012 CR-V, Honda brought “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” back, casting Matthew Broderick, 49, as himself in the following funny video containing 26 references to the classic 1986 movie. For Ferris Bueller fans everywhere, including Californiality , watching Matthew Broderick play hooky from work is a vicarious treat which also brings back memories of care-free fun back in the day. Big thanks to Matthew Broderick and Honda for reminding all of us middle-aged folks that we didn’t just imagine the 1980s.
