Drop Dead Fred
starring Rik Mayall and Phoebe Cates


Drop Dead Fred is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not for everyone, however. Drop Dead Fred is the imaginary friend of one Elizabeth Cronin, who's grown up and is in the process of trying to get her deadbeat husband back. The whole movie is full of gross-out humor and mostly ridiculous twists, but to me, it's funny as hell. There are a few corny parts and the acting (besides Rik Mayall, who played Drop Dead Fred) is less than stellar, but it's one of the most enjoyable movies that I've ever seen. I highly recommend seeing this movie, even if it doesn't sound like the kind of movie that you'd enjoy, because you just might surprise yourself.

Most quotable line: There are many, but the best by far is, "Shit yourself?"
