A high schooler skips school and despite the dogged efforts of a suspicious Principal and irritated sister who try to catch him out, he enjoys his day-off with gay abandon, roping friends into elaborate schemes, street parades, restaurant outings, in a John Hughes comedy as entertaining today as it was on its release in 1986, an enduring favourite for perfectly capturing the joys of unfettered youth.
