Summary: My Own Private Cult Movie
Review: My 7-year old grandson introduced DDF to me. What a great time we had! Phoebe Cates is well cast as the girl with an unfaithful husband, an overbearing mother, a stolen car, and a lost job. At that stress level, any girl is entitled to resurrecting her one and only imaginary friend. Enter Fred with one problem. Phoebe has grown up and Fred hasn't. Though Phoebe is reluctant, Fred is unwittingly a great tonic. Things start to happen! The faithless husband who is about to dump Phoebe gets a most satisfying comeuppance. Marsha Mason, who cannot give a bad performance, is icily perfect as the mother who wants to create Phoebe in her own image. Their shopping trip where Phoebe ends up identically clad as Mom is worth the price of admission. A nice supporting role by Carrie Fisher who plays Phoebe's older, worldly-wise friend is well paced and lively. To the editorial nay-sayers, it only Fred that does these disgusting things, and he does them with the flair of any average five-year old. If everyone in the audience hasn't at least pulled some of the antics that Fred did, I am certain he or she had far too sedate a childhood. At the end of one particularly satisfying scene, I caught myself saying, "Yes!" just like the kid in "Home Alone." Have a fun evening with your best pal whether they are six or sixty.

Summary: About as funny as dog poop on your shoe
Review: I must say I read with astonishment the comments about this video being "empowering" and "uplifting". Obviously there are some Amazon amateur reviewers who desperately need to get out more. Fails as a comedy, fails as a psychological examination of repression, succeeds only in conveying a bit of Rik Mayall's talent, here chained to an unlikeable premise and heavy-handed director. Phoebe Cates's blank doe-eyed stare will make you reach for the remote.

Summary: One of the best comedies ever
Review: This is one of the few movies that have made me laugh out loud to the point where people next to me in the theater were asking me to quiet down. It's one of those great films that you really need to see to appreciate. Rick Myall does a fantastic job and Phoebe Cates is as cute as can be while playing the role of a confused (if somewhat brainless) girl. At least rent this film and see why everyone loves it. And why isn't it out on DVD yet?

Summary: Classic comedy
Review: I've been watching "Drop Dead Fred" for years and it's still one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Everybody does a good job acting and it has some of the funniest sequences of any movie ever. Phoebe Cates used to have an imaginary friend, but now she's grown up. All of a sudden he comes back and she's the only one that can see him. However, she is more mature now, so she tries to ignore him and even make him go away, but she realizes she still feels like a kid sometimes and wants her imaginary friend to stay around. "Drop Dead Fred" is one of the best comedy films ever and you'll never get tired of watching it. It's one of the few movies that will never get old. If you like comedy movies, this is one you can't miss.

Summary: Drop Dead Fred
Review: I recently saw Drop Dead Fred on television and i thought that it was the most wonderful film in the whole world. I especially recommend it to anyone who has ever had an imaginary friend when they were little, but it is a brilliant film for all the family. possitivly the best fantasy/comedy film you will ever see.

Summary: A fairly good comedy...
Review: Rik Mayall, one of the funniest men I've seen on T.V. stars as the main character in this fantasy/comedy about a girl who has an imaginary friend,but as she grows up, her immature imaginary friend Fred feels dissowned by the girl (Cates). Corny in places but still watchable.

Summary: "I forgot to give you something!"
Review: Since I was 9 years old, Drop Dead Fred has been my all-time favorite film. Even now, as college freshman, I never hesitate to mention that film to anyone I know, or quote a hilarious line used in it. There are many reasons that Drop Dead Fred makes a wonderful, spirit-lifting movie; one may be that we all wish that we could escape to a world where an imaginary friend helps us forget the bad things in our lives. Pertaining to the movie, that would be Lizzy's mother trying to control her life, and hurt her; or her marriage that is hurting due to her husband cheating on her. The creativity and acting in this film is supurb. If any critics feel that nose picking is not a funny thing, than you should limit your movies to those that fail to let you explore the creative part of your mind. As for this particular movie, I never hesitate to throw my head back in laughter.
