Drop Dead Fred (1991)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 2/06

2/06: Drop Dead Fred is an unusual, annoying, and unfunny movie that's in the same vein of Problem Child.

Phoebe Cates does a great job of maintaining her composure the entire time. Yes, Rik Mayall deserves to be dropped dead for the sake of good riddance. (6/9/14 Author Note: He just did.) Rik makes me want to hate—no, the better word is loathe—his character so much.

The situation in regard to the mother-daughter relationship and having an imaginary friend around are creative. If I had seen the film with the perspective of a child, Drop Dead Fred might have been sensible.

All in all, Drop Dead Fred makes for an insufferable viewing.
