childhood 'Dropdead Fred', (played by Rik Mayall), who only Lizzie can hear or see.
With many flashback later, the story unfolds as to how Lizzie happened upon Fred and how Fred would always get Lizzie into trouble.
But as Lizzie was now in the same state of mind as when she was younger, being depressed and alone, she unleashes the power of the very naughty Fred.
As Lizzie tries to get her life back on track, attempting to patch up her marriage, Fred is at her side, trying to help in his own haphazard way?
**IN CONCLUSION**
Well what can I say about this movie..??? Hilarious?, comical?, side-splittingly funny? Well all three spring to mind.
As most people had/have imaginary friends when they are kids this movie opens your mind to just how difficult a friend like that can be.
The story is well written and the all round ...
Advantages: based on a good idea, humorous at times Disadvantages: not-so-humorous at times
Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) has just realised that her marriage is well and truly over. In the same day, she manages to get fired from her job. At this point, she decides to cut her losses and give into her mother's demands that she come and stay with her.
As a result, she is in a bit of an odd place, both emotionally and physically - her marriage over, no job, at her family's home. Basically, she has come full circle and has in a way reverted back to her childhood.
And it is at this point that she comes across the box her childhood friend DropDead Fred (Rik Mayall) was trapped in by her mother many years previously, and sets him free.
DropDead Fred isn't a real friend, but an imaginary one. However, Elizabeth can see the physical manifestation of him, as can we. But no one else on screen can.
Fred is delighted to be reunited ...
Advantages: Its sooooooo funny! Disadvantages: Its kinda sad
DropDead Fred!
WHAT A QUALITY FILM!
its all about a girl who grew up with an imaginary friend (Fred) Fred used to cause all sorts or trouble. Things like shaving the cat and other humerous things. Only problem is, the little girl (Elizabeth)got blamed for everything! (How horrible)
So anyway, one day Elizabeths evil mother decides to lock Fred up in a jack in a box and seal it so he could never get out.
Elizabeth grew older and like any other women, got married etc.
One day Elizabeth caught her husband in the act and left him.
She went back home to live with her annoyingly evil mother, when she came across a little box (a little sealed box)
As you can probably imagine, she opened up the box and guess what..............out popped Fred! Genius!
Never guess what happens next?! The past starts to repeat itself ...
