This Movie About Middle School Is Going to Be the Ferris Bueller's Day Off of Your Kid's Generation

With Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Home Alone in many a person's top movie list, it's not hard to understand why the creators of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life would channel the best parts of both films to create one hilarious flick. Based on the book by James Patterson — and with a solid cast featuring Lauren Graham, Adam Pally, Rhetta, and Rob Riggle — this movie in which Rafe Khatchadorian (Griffin Gluck) has to navigate a new school with ridiculous rules looks like it's going to be a new family favorite. Rafe may just be this generation's Kevin McCallister or Ferris Bueller.

Watch the trailer to see an adorable preview of the film coming to theaters Oct. 7.
