I can't believe that they are remaking this! >_<. The original Drop Dead Fred will always be the best one XD. Ah the good ol days ^_^. I want to add this to my movie collection now *giggles* :).
I don't mind if they remake it as long as they re-release the original,you can't find this film anywhere really,and once they made Tron legacy they re-released the original,so that's cool.
I USED TO WATCH THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN I WAS LITTLE! I STILL LOVE IT!!!! i wonder what the remake will be like :/ it won't do the original fred justice
Now I'm 25, and it's 20 years after I first saw this, I've just laughed more at this trailer than I've laughed at any film since American Pie. Can't wait til' my daughter is old enough to laugh at this!
i love this bloody movie i remeber the bit where all the children were in that place with there own imanjenery friends and they cn all see eachother lol
Why are fucking remake, this movie is 1991. It's not fucking 50 years old. Hollywood sucks so bad, all they do now is remakes and jack movies from other countries and most of the times they ruin it. Look at all the horror movies, most are asian horror remakes. Yeah sometimes they rarely manage to pull something good off, and even more rare make it better than the original movie. The only remake I remember being good was The Departed, and it was pretty fucking good. Enough Remakes!!!!
Okay, I'll be the one to say it. This was an awful awful movie. To most people at least. I used to love this movie when I was like 5, so I can never ever hate it. It will always hold a special place in my heart (the nostalgiac section to be exact)
This movie was great. Superb performances by Phoebe Cates and Rik Mayall bring this little film to life. Very entertaining for young and old, and a touching story too!
In April 2009, it was revealed that Universal had acquired the rights to Drop Dead Fred and are working on a remake of the movie, with British comedian Russell Brand playing the title role. The film's producers are Marc E. Platt of Marc Platt Productions, Carlos Davis, Anthony Fingleton and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, the company that produced the original film.
I watched this last night and hadn't realized that I saw it many, many years ago. I'm 20 now, and I have to agree with RedDwarfRules, it would not be the same if Fred hadn't been English. That added a lot of detail to it that an American might not be able to place.
I watched Drop Dead Fred and I'd hate to admit but I loved it, despite some of the not so good elements, but hey I dig this movie 100 times more than Avatar, 2012, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Minority Report. Hate all those movies I named above. Last but not least I dig campy movies way more than Oscar worthy movies. This movie may not of won an Oscar, but it is a classic.
Best Film i watched Growingg up as a child!! : Well that and Toy Story...i love beingg a 90's kid muc better then the rubbish children films they make now!!
This was my favourite film as a child. That scene in the restaurant made me weep with laughter. The way she slowly pours the contents of her glass onto the table...
I had to see it to believe it when I read that russell brand was gonna' be involved with a remake. I too agree that he's an arse! I won't be watching it at all.
OMG seriously theyre remaking it?!! omg i dont know how to feel :S its my favourite film ever, i dont think russel brand or anyone for that matter can top rik mayall as fred :P
This movie came out when I was eight years old and this trailer was the catalyst for all of my nightmares. It was seeing the obnoxious Fred getting hit by a fire engine and seeing what happens to his head when it gets stuck in the fridge. Yikes. Not a good idea to show this thing to kids.
I LOVE this movie! I used to watch it OVER AND OVER when I was younger. Wow, just watching the trailer again makes me feel like a kid all over again! =D!!!!!!!!!!!
Sweet and so touching movie. Phoebe Cates and Rik Mayall did a brilliant job! Drop Dead Fred was my favorite childhood movie. If I have no mistake Bogus (1996) put some ideas from this film.

DUDE my friend had a 'friend' like that and she said she told him to drop dead and the next thing the movie came out O.O i think shes lieing like she always does but eh still
they missed out the best bit of that film in the trailer wheres the "dog poo, dog poo lovely lovely dog poo" bit that makes me laugh and the no panties bit hah ha
Melanie Payne deserves the role for Lizzy because she's a great actor has a sense of humor and can go really far if she gets this part. Melanie Payne for Lizzy!
I think Melanie Payne would be a GREAT part for the role of Lizzy! She REALLY wants a srole, so if anyone could spread the role (mostly to a Hollywood Producer) that would make her REALLY happy!
Melanie Payne would be PERFECT to play Elizabeth if someone made a remake!! She has amazing acting skillz. You can check out her page ravenclawLDS89 if ya don't believe me!
