  • Ebert gave the movie three out of four stars, calling it one of the most innocent movies in a long time and a sweet, warm-hearted comedy.
  • Siskel did not like the movie and kept doubling down on its Chicago faults; the disagreement is called one of their best arguments.
  • Roeper, who took over for Siskel, is said to call it his favorite movie of all time; Siskel was likely too hardcore Chicago to get past the faults.
  • Hating Ferris Bueller is called a great zag; one host usually sided with Siskel, who loved Saturday Night Fever enough to buy the jumpsuit, and is now unsure.
