Movie Monday

Have you ever watched a really bad old movie and thought, "Oh my gosh, why was this made?" Well that's what today is devoted to. And actually, it's not a movie like that at all. I mean, this movie is kind of stupid, but it's HILARIOUS and if you make fun of it, it's even more hilarious. But I've always loved it.

It's called Drop Dead Fred.






And it's about a woman (Phoebe Cates) who was emotionally abused by her overbearing mother as a child. She didn't have any friends when she was younger and instead had an imaginary friend named Drop Dead Fred. He was spastic and always getting her to do crazy things like play "robber" in the middle of the night, making mud pies on the kitchen table, etc. Now, as a young woman, separated from her husband and moved back home, she feels more alone than ever. Enter Drop Dead Fred, back into her life to cause her more chaos that ever! This movie is hilarious. And I'd like to include some of my favorite quotes below. 







QUOTES: 

"It takes more than a firetruck to stop Drop Dead Fred!" - Fred
--
Young Elizabeth: Did they live happily ever after?
Polly: Of course they did, because she was a good girl and if she'd been naughty, the prince would have run away.
Young Elizabeth: What a pile of shit. 
--
Young Elizabeth: Daddy, why don't we throw mommy out the window? It won't hurt her. She'll land in the gladiolas.
Nigel: You shouldn't say things like that about your mother. She might cut your head off.
--
"I don't love you, because love is for girls and girls are disgusting!" - Fred
--
"Snotface, look! INK! Let's write something on the carpet! I know, how about 'MOTHER SUCKS'?" - Fred
--

Well, now that you've read some of my favorite lines, please take a moment to sit back and watch because the entire movie is on YouTube. But remember, it came out in 1991, so just forget about the cinematography, alright?
