Drop Dead Fred (1991)

I digitalized the remake of a very old fanart. I was obsessed with this movie when I was 13 but I didn't make any fanart of it until I could finally watch the whole movie at age 17 on 2018, on YouTube lol

I really loved the characters and their dynamic. A young woman named Elizabeth is passing through a bad time when she has to come back to her childhood home with her emotionally abusive mother after she lost her job and her husband cheated on her. Elizabeth finds out that Drop Dead Fred, her imaginary friend from childhood is back (or never left because he was trapped in a jack-in-the-box) and he can't leave until she finds her real self and happiness again (which is gonna be a funny disaster)

This is from December 2018!

Drop Dead Fred (Ate de Jong, 1991)

As a kid i think i tried to like this more than i did due to my worship of all things Rik Mayall. Now i find i readily and openly like it more than i ever had due to how touching it is and how complete and fluid it is as a movie. That uneasy to swallow split between heavy subject matter and Rik Mayall's relentless and grating buffoonery perfectly explicable by when this trauma and sadness was caught and the only thing that has ever helped it at any age. No one else could have played that part. I'm sure others could have played Phoebe Cates' part but i'm so glad she's here. Not only is it one of her best performances, i now realise it's one of her only leading roles and it's some amount of deserved providence that it's a good one in a moderately successful movie. Although i guess not critically successful, which is something she really could have used.
