Honda just launched "Matthew's Day Off", an extended version of their upcoming Super Bowl ad featuring Matthew Broderick. In the 2:20 mini-movie Matthew reprises his famous role from the 1986 Ferris Bueller's Day Off by calling in sick to his movie shoot so he can run around in his all-new 2012 CR-V.
Honda says there are more than two dozen references to the movie throughout the commercial including the flower delivery guy (0:57) as a reference to a famous scene in the 1986 movie. Unfortunately we couldn't spot the sweet 1961 Ferrari GT California or Jennifer Grey. Can you spot the other references?
I finally saw this this morning (hey, I live in Thailand, gimme a break) and after a couple of weeks of anticipation I was pretty disappointed. I was hoping to see a little twinkle in Broderick’s eye that said ‘we’re having a little fun’, but all I saw was the endless dull grey of ‘I need money. Screw what’s left of my reputation.’ Bah humbug.
