High school senior Matthew Broderick decides to take the day off from school by faking an illness. His dumb parents fall for it and he spends the day visiting various Chicago landmarks. He convinces his best friend to "borrow" his father's Ferrari and his girlfriend to skip school as well. A school counselor gets wise to them but is thwarted at every turn in a futile attempt at comic relief. Wildly popular film has little if any plot and shallow characters, only his best friend learns anything about himself, the rest are selfish bores who talk to the camera too much.
