Title: a great 80s movie, but STILL great
Review: Yes Amazon is correct. This is a quintessential 80s movie, along with the Breakfast Club, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters, among others. But high school hasn't changed too much, and the characters in this movie ring true no matter what decade it is. The scenes with Rooney and his secretary, the scenes with Ferris and Cameron, Ferris's monologues to the camera: this is near-timeless comedy, employing time-worn classic character types and scenarios, and a theme any one-time high school kid in America can relate to. This is still the funniest high school movie ever, and one of the most hilarious comedies of the past 30 years.
