Eric Stevenson I am proud in a weird way to say that I've know seen all of Doug Walker's picks for the Top 3 worst movies he's ever reviewed. Well, he's probably changed it by now. I'd love to see an update! We all knew "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie" would be his #1 spot, but I was eager to see his #2 spot, which happens to be this film. A work friend of mine even said this was the first movie HE saw that he sincerely hated. It's just amazing how many little awful things there are in his movie. This movie tells the story of a woman and her imaginary friend, Drop Dead Fred.First off, the special effects are really stupid and annoying. There's about one good shot they put all their budget into. There's a running gag where she sneezes and Fred flies around in this stupid manner. The worst is probably how he calls her Snotface and she's actually inspired to put her boogers on other people's faces. It's as stupid as it sounds. Fred causes mayhem by walking in dog poop and getting the floor all dirty. Fred is unbelievably annoying and is relentlessly obnoxious when he first appears right on screen. Flashbacks show Fred teaching her as a little girl to rob her parents.Her dad gets arrested for something that wasn't his fault and we literally never hear of him again. Yes, Fred was supposed to bring balance to the woman's life but he got her dad arrested. This other guy walks on a tree because he knew she'd run out of her window, what? Every joke is predictable. We know that they're going to drop the teapot after they mention it's expensive. We know Fred will smash the window when he says he'll be careful. Apparently, Fred also knew that destroying her friend's (played by Carrie Fisher, RIP) home would make her live off the insurance. It's obnoxious, unfocused and all around stupid. *

Paul Magne Haakonsen The reason for why I initially purchased this 1991 comedy at the local secondhand DVD store was because of Rik Mayall, the late, great British comedy genius.I haven't seen "Drop Dead Fred" before now in 2016, 25 years after it was initially released. Shame on me, I know. And it was an error on my behalf, because this is a very funny movie and an enjoyable movie as well. And Rik Mayall really do put on a very good performance as the imaginary friend Drop Dead Fred. I was laughing a good amount throughout the course of the movie, especially because of the hilarious situations that Elizabeth (played by Phoebe Cates) ended up in because of her imaginary friend.Rik Mayall is quite well-cast for the menacing make-believe friend, and he seemed to be given free hands to do what he wanted with the character. I was more than genuinely entertained by his comedy in this 1991 movie, his brush with Hollywood, although he was always more at home in the British comedy.Aside from an all-over-the-screen Rik Mayall, then Phoebe Cates also did perform nicely in "Drop Dead Fred" and borough her usual charms. It was a nice treat to have the Princess herself in the movie for a supportive role, that being Carrie Fisher, of course."Drop Dead Fred" is a fast paced comedy with lots of laughs.

M. Qtips (M_Qtips) The always appealing Phoebe Cates plays the central character in this classic horror movie about a dangerously psychotic woman who is tormented by the emergence of her sociopathic other personality, a criminally deranged and manipulative version of Johnny Rotten. Out of control, she destroys her relationships, her family life, and her friend's boat, until eventually, betrayed by her overbearing mother and her philandering husband, she retreats into the only safe place left, the dark and lonely recesses of her own mind, where she must confront ghastly visions of her loved ones and the terrified child she once was.Finally, even her hallucinatory tormentor abandons her, and she regains her sanity at cost of turning her back on everyone and everything she has ever held dear. She begins a new life with the only man who has ever been oblivious enough to stand by her... oblivious enough not to notice even as the first signs emerge that her psychosis has begun to infect his only child...A seminal film, this dark masterpiece was clearly the inspiration for later phantasmagoric horror excursions like "The Mask", in which Jim Carrey plays a man who undergoes a hideous mutation, and "Amelie", a similar tale of a young woman dangerously disassociated from reality.

Uriah43 At the age of 5 "Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Cronin" (Phoebe Cates) was sad and lonely. So she developed an imaginary friend she called, "Drop Dead Fred" (Rik Mayall). But time passes and she eventually forgets about him. Until she loses her husband "Charles" (Tim Matheson), her job and her car all on the same day. She then becomes sad and lonely. And Drop Dead Fred reappears. Now, normally a friend who returns after so many years wouldn't be such a bad thing. But this isn't any "normal" friend. Instead he's an obnoxious and destructive influence who was always getting her into trouble. And while she may have grown up, he has not. Anyway, as far as this movie is concerned, I thought it got off to a rather rough start but things began to get really funny immediately after the "houseboat scene" when "Janie" (Carrie Fisher) tries to take matters into her own hands. Likewise, the restaurant scene was quite funny as well. Having said that though, there were other scenes which weren't nearly as good and this caused the movie to seem uneven. I thought Marsha Mason (as "Polly Cronin") looked great. But as far as the acting was concerned, other than Phoebe Cates and Carrie Fisher, I didn't really care for anybody else in the cast. And as far as that goes, Rik Mayall made me cringe every time he appeared as he was just too over-the-top. Even so, this wasn't a bad movie necessarily and it did have some good moments as I have already mentioned. That said, I have no doubts that some will really enjoy it. But to me it was only average.
