If it's a kids movie it's thrown off by the adult elements of the plot.

If it's an movie for adults it's thrown off by the childish humor.

Its for children aged from 8 to 80.

I despair at the rating of 5.8 for this film. I understand that slapstick isn't everyone's cup of tea, I didn't really enjoy the Three Stooges (2012). But Drop Dead Fred is so much more, its a shame it isn't more widely appreciated.

^I partially agree, but I think Three Stooges is as fun as Drop Dead Fred in innocent spirit standards.

It's not for 8 year olds. There's a lot of bad language and sexual themes. The film is a certificate 15 in the UK, I would say 12 up. A shame really because I've shown my kids most of the Rik Mayall bits and they this it's hilarious!

I think you're mistaking this movie for Dumb & Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd. That movie literally insults the mentally challenged in just one scene alone!

Adults who think they are watching a movie made for kids

The only reason to watch it is to see Phoebe Cates in her prime with a bob hairstyle.

It was a movie for our moms that we could watch too like Don't tell Mom the babysitters dead. Mom's love Phoebe Cate's journey against a two timing Eric Stratton and her bitch mother and love they Carrie Fischer and the Mickey dude.

Cates didn’t get naked so it obviously wasn’t me.
