Who hasn't wanted a Fred?
4 April 2007
When I was smaller, I had an imaginary friend who was probably the most wild thing that was ever in my life. He'd bounce around the pews at church and pick the alter boys noses, get stuck on ceiling fans, and generally make life a bit more difficult for my adolescent mind. But then we'd get home, and he'd always be there to play with me and be a good friend.

Which is what Fred is all about. He is releasing the wild side inside of you that you didn't know you had.

Most people, when they watch this movie, have a pretty open mind and enjoy it. But some seem to go into it far too seriously. Yes, it was probably Lizzie's imagination, yes Fred probably wasn't real, yes the humor was tasteless and annoying. But it's those people who didn't have an imaginary friend as a child, who can't understand what it's like to have a friend who'll annoy the crud out of you, but still be the one you want to spend time with everyday.

I saw Drop Dead Fred when I was six years old, and now, at fourteen, i'm still watching it with friends who i've shown it too. If a fourteen year old and her friends can understand this movie from a psychological standpoint, why can't the critics?

Fred is Fred. Most of us had him as a child in some form or another, and this movie PROVES that they can always come back if we need them, no matter how old we get.

10/10 for my favorite movie of all time. :)

I loved it.

I can remember being a little tyke and sitting in the living room staring in total awe as these kids morphed. I used to be enthralled by this show, and I still am. I have the videos. OK, sue me. I can't help myself, this show, I loved it. It's sort of a guilty pleasure. The show didn't exactly do the books justice, but lets face it; most movies and TV shows never can. But it's not bad. Though I was kind of mad when they didn't find Ax like they did in the book, I let it slide because they probably had no idea how to do it.

I loved the books. I loved(and still do)the show.

But it loses points for Effects.
