Matthew Broderick Explains Why He Did The Bueller Ad

Vulture managed to corner Matthew Broderick to ask him why he resurrected the Ferris Bueller character for a Honda Super Bowl ad. The answer wasn't simply "money." He said he thought it "might be amusing."

"Todd Phillips was directing it, who's a good director, and I thought it would be fun to send up Ferris Bueller a little bit," Broderick says. The shoot took place over four days, which he says he spent "running around L.A. ... thinking, 'I hope this is a good idea.'"

We imagine Broderick sitting in his car every day before the shoot having this sort of Cameron-esque dilemma.
