Her parents clearly consider Ferris their favorite child and will blindly buy his act hook, line and sinker, enable his behavior while Jeanie is continually mistreated by everyone in the movie but especially her parents. Is it any wonder she is so bitter?
shareyeah but , she got a car!
Ferris only got a crappy 80s computer
Yes, that actually is kind of curious. If Ferris is clearly their favorite, why does Jeanie have a car and not him? He’s old enough to have one.
shareBUT.....I'm pretty sure it's implied these were birthday presents. ....So one was her big gift, and the other was his. The mother's talking at the end, though, how if the deal hadn't fallen through she was planning on buying Ferris a car, too. So he gets both things. Yep. He's the favorite.
