Drop Dead Fred is essentially a film version of grown-up Calvin and Hobbes - except the real kid is the good one, and the imaginary friend is naughty.
There are so many original, funny, creative scenes in the film that it is worth watching for those alone.
Having said that, I did find the film a little boring until Fred's introduction. After that, however, there isn't a boring moment to be seen.
Rik Mayall plays the part perfectly, Phoebe Cates is excellent and the costumes are superb too.
I would whole-heartedly recommend this film to anybody who still holds on to a bit of the child in them. I'm still clinging to mine and I hope I never lose grip.
