RIP Rik. Drop Dead Fred is such a good movie and I grew up watching it!
I watched this film recently as a 42 year old, and although I laughed so much, I also saw some really subtle psychological themes which I never caught when I was 13. Did anyone notice that Elizabeth's father had an English accent? Fred is a manifestation of her paternal abandonment issues and a coping mechanism for her crippling introverted nature due to her overbearing mother. Under all that wonderful slapstick humour there's quite a serious message there about resolution. Take Fred away and it has all the hallmarks of a person about to crack. It's actually brilliant!
Yesssssssssssss
I fell absolutely in love with Mayall from watching Bottom as an 8 year old! Watched it every night it was on. I saw how completely genius he was! Then at 12 years old my 1st year English teacher played an audio tape of him narrating The Grinch. I fell even more madly in love with him then! He fired my imagination and inspired so much of what I do now! Never saw Drop Dead Fred as a kid for whatever reason, I expect I couldn't be taken to the cinema or we missed it being rented in video shops. Then he died and ever since it was hard to watch him...but I finally got around to seeing it at 34 ringing in the new year 2022 ♡ Still in love!
"Too sentimental for over here, too over the top for America". I think Rik hit the nail on the head there about the film's difficulties. But I just finished watching it on television (my first time properly seeing it despite loving him since I was a kid) and quite enjoyed it. Kim Newman's comments about his "obnoxious streak being muted by the sentimentality..." is I think harsh. It's actually the thing I found most fascinating watching Rik in this. Those final scenes of his were quite emotional stuff, even a bit heartbreaking. Never really seen him do that before. Great underrated work!
That critic looks like he'd be fun at parties
yeah mutton chops doesn't have a clue.
Mayall will forever be a slapstick legend!
American here, rewatched recently as a 35 year old. Drop Dead Fred is one of the most underrated movies of all time. It is a completely emotional film with complex layers regarding emotional abuse, and you still find yourself laughing with/at every scene. Rik Mayall played it exactly on key, balancing sincere emotion and pure destruction throughout. RIP Rik; Love You Forever Fred. There are only a handful of films you can love as a very young kid and as a grown ass adult - this is one of them. No one should ever take that for granted.
I love drop dead fred
the guy dissing drop dead fred sounds like the most boring person in the world, i loved that movie as a kid and im guessing that guy wasnt the target audience
i loved this movie as a kid
The ironic thing is that today, this would be considered a normal kids' film. And the guy with the ridiculous moustache has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.
I was a child when I first saw this, and I'm surprised by all the hate this movie got! I watched the nostalgia critics review. I didn't think this movie was so hard to "get" and I guess you buy its characters and situations or you don't. I happen too :)
He was quite cute here im 41 now and I remember watching this on HBO r.i.p. peace rik, too young to go
I hate it when critics have to go all serious over a non-serious film like DDF! The film is MEANT to be fun and is NOT a cerebral indie drama that you would've praised in high regards, Kim!
Film critics make my blood boil!!
critics are all wankers anyway :) what makes them think THEY can speak to what the rest of us will and wont like! everybody is an individual and film like any art is subjective and open to the audience interpretation. i LOVE drop dead fred in my 30s and ill love it in my 80s :)
I miss this guy.
I loved that movie.
The critics did nothing but slag this film off
Look at the smug look on that reviewers face, fkn critics get to that position as they don't have anything interesting to create themselves. Loved Drop Dead Fred as a kid!
The reviewer is stuck in the Victorian era with that moustache so I understand why he didn't get it
Goodness he’s gorgeous!!!
Just want to know what cardboard box this reviewer is in now?
Oh, dear. I actually like Kim Newman when he pops up on movie extras, but he came across like an utter numpty here. This is a very early TV appearance, which may account for the obnoxiously smug attitude. And yes, he has persisted with that egregious facial hair to this day.
Rik Mayall, however, comes across very well.
