Amazon.co.uk Review
Drop Dead Fred

This not-quite-black comedy was probably a laugh riot on paper. The translation almost works, but the execution is flawed. Phoebe Cates is a recently separated young woman who suddenly begins to see her supposedly imagined childhood friend (Drop Dead Fred) after moving back into her mother's home. Is he a manifestation of her secret desires to ditch the boorish spouse? Or was he real all along? Rik Mayall is a limber, carrot-topped Brit with the lamentable assignment of trying to make us laugh with vulgar, sophomoric trickery. He is supposedly the repository of Cates's fastidious repression but is more annoying than cathartic. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Synopsis
Features the comedies Drop Dead Fred, The Parole Officer, and Guest House Paradiso. In Drop Dead Fred, Lizzie Cronin manages to lose her purse, her car, her job and her husband all in one day and her imaginary childhood friend Fred appears, to help her find some happiness. In The Parole Officer, Simon Garden is a hugely unsuccessful parole officer who finds himself in the frame for a murder that he didn't commit. To prove his innocence he must break into a security vault and retrieve a CCTV video tape. He enlists the help of four incompetent ex-criminals and a beautiful female police officer. In Guest House Paradiso Richie and Eddie welcome you to their hotel where people pay to check in and pray to check out.
