Universal Pictures has announced that they are developing a remake of Drop Dead Fred for Russell Brand to star in. Saturday Night Live writer Dennis McNicholas has been hired to develop the. Starring Phoebe Cates, Rik Mayall, Bridget Fonda and Carrie Fisher, Drop Dead Fred is a hilarious comedy about a young woman who suddenly finds herself reunited with an old 'friend.' When Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) returns to her mother's home after her marriage breaks up, she recreates her imaginary childhood friend, Fred (Rik Mayall), to escape. Drop Dead Fred Critics Consensus. Tackling mature themes with an infantile sensibility, Drop Dead Fred is an ill-conceived family comedy that is more likely to stir up a headache than the imagination. Elizabeth faces her fears, gives Drop Dead Fred a final kiss, and he slips away into her subconscious. This is all well and fineuntil we discover after another date with Mickey that Drop Dead Fred has since assigned himself to Mickey's 8 year old daughter, Natalie, who is laughing with her finger in the special 'Fred Handshake Position'.

It's 'Brazil' for the adolescent set!

SPot on! One of the cut scenes was in 'Imaginary Friend Land' (filmed at Paisley Park, BTW). There were a bunch of actors running around trying to look imaginary, including the ones you saw in the psychiatrist's office.

This episode is legendary.

Drop Dead Fred is a 1991 British-AmericanDark comedyfantasy film directed by Ate de Jong, produced by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and Working Title Films and released and distributed by New Line Cinema.

Rik Mayall starred as the title character: a happy, anarchic, and mischievous imaginary friend of a young girl named Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) and nemesis of her overbearing mother Polly (Marsha Mason). He causes chaos around her home and neighborhood, but nobody can see him except her. When she grows up and has an emotional crisis, he returns to 'cheer her up' in his own unique way, causing more chaos than ever before. The supporting cast included Carrie Fisher, Ron Eldard, Tim Matheson, and Bridget Fonda.

Plot[edit]

Elizabeth Cronin is an unassertive and repressed woman, dominated by her controlling mother Polly, who blames her for her divorce. While taking her lunch break from work, she visits her husband Charles, from whom she is separated, hoping to sort out their problems. He reasserts his desire for a divorce and says that he is in love with another woman named Annabella.

While she is at a public phone, a man walking down the street breaks into her car to steal her purse, and then her car. Forced to run back to work at the courthouse, she arrives late and loses her job. As she leaves the courthouse, she runs into an old friend, Mickey, who brings up childhood memories they shared, which includes memories of Elizabeth's childhood imaginary friend, Drop Dead Fred. Mickey explains how only Elizabeth could see Drop Dead Fred, and everybody else thought she was crazy. A series of flashbacks reveals that while he caused havoc for her, he also gave her happiness and a release from her oppressive mother. One day while she and Fred are making a mess on the diner table she hears her mother coming and she imagines him hiding in a jack-in-the-box. Polly, fed up with Elizabeth playing with Fred takes the jack-in-the-box and tapes it shut and takes Fred away from her. The event leaves her traumatized.

After a pep talk from her friend Janie, Elizabeth moves back into her mother's home, having nowhere else to go. Elizabeth finds the taped-shut jack-in-the-box that Polly trapped Fred inside in her childhood bedroom. She removes the tape, releasing Fred. He agrees to help her feel better, which she believes will only happen when she wins back Charles. However, his childish antics do more harm than good. He sinks Janie's houseboat, causes havoc at a restaurant, and tricks Elizabeth into attacking a violinist in a shopping mall.

Worried by Elizabeth's recent strange behavior, Polly takes her to a (children's) psychologist. In the waiting room, Fred is seen meeting up with the imaginary friends of other patients, who are all children. The doctor prescribes medication to rid her of Fred, whom he and Polly believe is a figment of her imagination. She also changes her appearance and wardrobe. The medication also has the effect of slowly killing Fred. Charles now wants her back and she is overjoyed, until Fred discovers he is still cheating on her with Annabella and tells Elizabeth. Heartbroken, she tells Fred that she cannot leave Charles, because she is scared of being alone. She then passes out due to overdosing on medication. They escape to a dream sequence in which she is finally able to reject Charles and stand up to Polly, declaring she is no longer afraid of her. She frees her imprisoned childhood self. Fred tells her that she no longer needs him, so they kiss and he disappears.

Upon awakening from the dream, Elizabeth dumps Charles and asserts herself to Polly. Before leaving, she reconciles with Polly and encourages her to find a friend to escape her own loneliness. Days later she visits Mickey and his daughter Natalie, who blames Drop Dead Fred on mischief that has just prompted her nanny to quit. Elizabeth realizes that he is now with Natalie, although she can no longer see him.

Drop Dead Fred was critically panned upon release but has gone on to become a cult film.^[3][4] On Rotten Tomatoes it has an approval rating of 11% based on 36 reviews. The site's consensus states: 'Tackling mature themes with an infantile sensibility, Drop Dead Fred is an ill-conceived family comedy that is more likely to stir up a headache than the imagination.'^[5] On Metacritic it has a score of 25% based on reviews from 19 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews'.^[6]

Gene Siskel gave the film zero stars and said 'This is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen.'^[7] Writing for Entertainment Weekly, Margaret Lyons asked, 'Is it supposed to be hilarious, or a really, really depressing story about the long-term effects of emotional abuse?'^[8]Leonard Maltin stated that 'Phoebe Cates' appealing performance can't salvage this putrid mess...recommended only for people who think nose-picking is funny.'^{[citation needed]}

Peter Freedman of the Radio Times called it a 'largely uninteresting and unfunny comedy', adding: 'It's a nice idea, but it falls between all available stools and ends up as a mess on the floor thanks to the poor execution.

Writing for Mystical Movie Guide, Carl J. Schroeder wrote: 'The imaginary friend is cavortingly rude for a reason; he served to push the girlchild to do mischief for attention and as a cry for help. Now grown up, the woman has forgotten and is about to lose her soul, so events call for some kind of literal return of her demon to force the exposure of her pain. This psychic crisis is poignantly realistic...the creature who is visible only to the woman is like a poltergeist energy of her repressed self, a problematic ego container into which her powers of assertion and creativity were poured and stored. The movie's resolution is startlingly beautiful.'^[11]
