Pros: One of the funniest movies ever. Phoebe Cates looks stunning.
Cons: No extras on the disc, no 5.1 surround sound either.

Pros: Great humor
Cons: none

I first seen this movie years ago when it came out. I had put it out of my thoughts until recently when someone asked me what my favorite movie of all time was, of course it was "Drop Dead Fred." So I went directly to the internet and...

Pros: Good fantasy plot, Mayall provides some chuckles
Cons: Bad performances, reliance on crudeness, dissapointing ending, poorly handled sentiment, terrible special effetcs

The plot of this movie is so great that you really believe that the movie cannot fail. Elizabeth (Cates) has just split up from her husband. She goes back to living with mother and yet feels she will never get over her lost love. That is until she...

Pros: Funny, sentimental,quirky
Cons: sappy, too silly

Drop Dead Fred is an enjoyable movie that follows the exploits of a young woman and her imaginary friend. The movie switches back and forth between her current situation and flashbacks to her childhood. Fred embodies all of the things that the heroine...

Pros: Great story that kids will love and parents will apreciate
Cons: Some of the story is too deep for smaller kids

Did you have an imaginary freind? I did! I was an only child, and a hyper one at that. That's probabally why I identified so well with "Drop Dead Fred."

This was a very funny, and serious at times, film about a woman who had an...

Pros: Tons of laughs!
Cons: none noted

You will drop dead laughing laughing at Drop Dead Fred. Assuming, of course, you have a good sense of humor and are not looking for a serious award winning movie! I would give it awards, don't get me wrong. However, it is not the type of movie that...

Pros: Great acting, great story
Cons: Not for children

Drop Dead Fred has been around since I was a wee child. But it was as a teenager that I was introduced to the actual movie. There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the best comedies available today!

Phoebe Cates and Rik Mayall play...

Pros: Great movie, great actors
Cons: nothing

This was most definitely a great movie because of the plot.
It is about a woman whom is going through a divorce and goes back home to stay with her mother. When she was younger she had a imaginary friend whom, got her in trouble all the time. He...

Pros: Hilariously funny and touching
Cons: None!

This was my favorite movie as a kid! Yes, I know it's not exactly a "kid" movie, but it's still ok to indulge your kid once in awhile with something other than cartoons. What made this movie so special for me is that I actually had imaginary friends as ...

Pros: Comedy, great for the whole family.
Cons: some parts are gross.

Every kid has a friend that is imaginary right? Well, what if the "kid" isn't a kid any more and has just left her husband? Then what happens?

Pros: fun movie
Cons: Typical english comedy, why in America ?

I have read reviews in TV Guides condemming this movie as purile. I guess those reviews must be adults.

This is a comedy based on Rick Myall style comedy. Crude, vile jokes mixed in with painfull slapstick will keep you giggling right through...

Pros: So funny you'll cry
Cons: The Megabeast doesn't die!

Its an old movie, but still has me rolling in the isles! I just watched it this weekend, while gorging on pizza and pepsi and I was rolling on the ground in laughter. Please don't say you've never seen this, you'd be a heathen. I loved it, and I love...

Pros: Comedic antics of Fred and Elizabeth
Cons: maybe a little too childish.....NAH

Roll on the floor laughing my "keester" off! This has been a favorite movie of mine since it came out! Fred is an imaginary friend who at some point in time lives in all of our heads. Most of us as children and some of us as adults. Either...

Pros: Well-made, funny, good for "children of all ages"
Cons: It's kinda old

I'll begin by saying that this is a wonderful movie. In fact, it was my favorite when I was probably about 6 years old! My mother rented it for me one day, and from then on she probably spent 30 bucks re-renting it. Why didn't we just buy it, you ask? I...
