Drop Dead Fred is definitely one of those films you will be able to watch over and over again without finding the jokes any less funny than they are in the beginning. Although being released in 1991, almost anybody watching Drop Dead Fred for the first time will love it despite it's maturing age. Rik Mayall is without a doubt the star of this film playing Drop Dead Fred, Elizabeth's imaginary friend who turns up when she needs him most - aka when her life is in turmoil and she needs to find fun and happiness again to have the strength to carry on through. Mischievous and rude Fred is absolutely hilarious, coming up with childish yet spiked pranks, sayings and nicknames which mortify Elizabeth despite her having loved him to pieces when she was a young child faced with her formidable mother.
Although it is rated in the UK as a 15 certificate I personally think that a 12 certificate would have been more suitable for this film as it DOES appeal from the young to the old, and only contains a few choice swear words which are fairly mild.
Highly recommended that you should watch, or even better buy - its extremely cheap because of its release date and your couple of quid spent will definitely not be a couple of quid wasted!
