  Besides a few moments where the writers stumbled upon a lucky line that happened to work, "Drop Dead Fred" is easily the most brainless film I have ever seen in my entire life. As a childhood imaginary friend comes back to haunt her and her new job, along with her relationship, everything goes to hell as she seems to be insane. This film is just one annoying scene after another and it is solely the most painful experience I have ever had, trying to get through a movie. "Drop Dead Fred" is easily THE worst movie I have ever seen, hands down!

  This is great purely for Rik. I love 'Bottom' and 'The Young Ones' and this is close to being great stuff, close. The idea is cool and original but it needed more mischief from Rik and more risky laughs. Its still good, love Rik's look.

  Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Probably why Phoebe Cates retired from acting.

  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. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. Always loved this one and still do.....wow, people on this site only rate this movie and average of 3 stars!?? What's wrong with you all?

  An important movie about overcoming those who control you. Phoebe Cates needs to call on her imaginary friend "Drop Dead Fred" to assert herself against her domineering fiance and mother. It's a film about growing up and become an adult. Rik Mayall plays the very naughty but loveable imaginary friend. This movie can be somewhat childish, cheap and annoying, but I found it to be a light enjoyable comedy with my brand of humour. There's a nice funny appearance from Carrie Fisher as Phoebe's best friend.

  If you're a grown up with a bit of a kid still in you watch this film

• xGary X

  
  A reasonable idea scuppered by an utterly witless script leaving Mayall floundering in a loud and irritating attempt to make us laugh. And completely failing.

• Jason S

  
  Silly

• Dean M

  
  Rik Mayall's manic performance must have put the cause of British comics in Hollywood.

• Emily A

  
  This is one of my childhood favorites. Rik Mayall is a scream, as is Marsha Mason as the overbearing harridan of a mother. This movie is really immature and really funny. It's ironic that having an imaginary friend that childish helped both parties mature.

• Andrew F

  
  I was surprised that I actually kind of liked it. I liked the idea of the movie, but the execution of the plot was not great. The guy who plays Fred is annoying and should have been replaced. It is a somewhat creative comedy that I will probably forget.

• Jason S

  
  One of those flicks you grew up with, but if you didn't you wont get it. I didn't, the laughs are non existant and its manic nature is tiring rather than endearing. Its central message has good intentions though so its not a white wash.

• Andrew P

  
  Eventually charming and sweet at the end, but throughout Mayall can either be tollerable or damn right annoying. Funny in parts, annoying in others the film is hit or miss most of the way through but they payoff warrents 3 stars at the charming ending.

• Sarah B

  
  I must've gone off Rik Mayall.

• Leo L

  
  Absolutely love Rik Mayall!!
