Matthew Broderick’s Greatest Moment in 20 Years? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone?

Matthew Broderick is a man with a surprisingly unremarkable film career.

We don't mean he doesn't make money- we're sure he's super-successful if judged by wealth. However, before you continue reading, grab a pad of paper and a pen. If, like us, you get hand-cramp from even writing your own name, then just open up a word document instead.

Now make a list of all the Matthew Broderick films of which you can remember. Done that? Now cross out all the ones that weren't artistic travesties. Come on, be honest with yourselves. By the way if you didn't cross out Godzilla it's probably best if you cease this exercie immediately.

As a reliable rule of thumb one should master cutlery before tacking cultural discourse on the internet.

Don't look on Wikipedia, that's cheating. Now how many films have you got? Not many eh? 3, 4, 5 maybe? Weird isn't it for an almost 30 year career?  We were surprised because we like equine bothering super nice-guy Matthew Broderick. The reason any of us still have a soft spot for him is because of Ferris Bueller.

If you like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, then you'll probably love the new Honda commercial/Bueller homage made for the crazily valuable Superbowl commercial break slot. We say probably because you may feel there's some 'selling out' issue. If that's the case you may just have to accept that movies aren't early 80s hardcore punk and that Matthew Broderick isn't Henry Rollins.

Once you've done that then you can sit back and enjoy. Then depending on how keen you are, watch it again and look out  for the subtle details that were put there for your nerd-ass.

Oh, and try not to think about the fact that he looks like  70 year old botoxed woman when he has the towel on his head.
