Drop Dead Fred

Midnite weekend screenings happen on Friday & Saturday nights (meaning arrive on Friday and/or Saturday night by 11:45pm for seating, the movie starts after midnite)!

Director: Ate de Jong Run Time: 103 min. Format: DCP Rating: PG 13 Release Year: 1991

Starring: Phoebe Cates, Rik Mayall, Marsha Mason, Tim Matheson, Carrie Fisher

When Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) catches her husband cheating she regresses, moving back to her childhood home and unleashing her old imaginary friend Drop Dead Fred (Rik Mayall). An impish playmate who used to get Elizabeth in all kinds of trouble with her icy mother (Marsha Mason), Fred is delighted to be free to annoy and destroy. Though he does have her best interests at heart, it is a tricky balance of allowing for whimsy in her life versus making her appear like she’s having a breakdown.

Phoebe Cates shows her comedic prowess, paired with the outrageous Rik Mayall (known to many for his role in the British TV series The Young Ones) in a movie that some of us watched way too young, but grew up the weirder for it.
