"Ferris Bueller's Flex Day"


The Washington Post’s Style Invitational printed some reader ideas for sequels to famous movies and The Daily Nooz provided a condensed version. Excerpts:

“Gandhi II”: No more Mister Nice Guy! (Andy Bassett, New Plymouth, New Zealand)


“Brokeback Molehill”: Even in the rural West, some traditional attitudes are softening, so Ennis's new love interest is just no big deal. (Russell Beland, Springfield)

“Seventy Brides for Seven Brothers”: The brothers relocate to the Utah mountains. (Beverley Sharp, Washington)

“It's a Wonderful Life for You, Maybe”: An angel shows an elderly George Bailey how much happier everyone he knows would be without the burden of taking care of him. (Beth Baniszewski, Somerville, Mass.)

“Ferris Bueller's Flex Day”: Our hero, all grown up, spends a day away from the office waiting for the cable guy to arrive, paying bills, mowing his lawn and finally sneaking in that trip to the bank he's been needing to make. (Russell Beland, Springfield)
