Film School Rejects: A ‘Drop Dead Fred’ Remake Starring Russell Brand? Meh, Okay

    I'm one of the idiots that loves the original, so I was semi-disappointed at the news.

    But then I had to search for images to make that header, and wading through pictures of Russell Brand is like looking at Ric Mayall's pictures after he dyed his hair black. I'm pretty sure it would be pretty funny to watch him absent-mindedly throw mud on someone.

    Another movie I liked as a kid, but wonder why now that Im older. Just the kid in me, I guess. Plus it had Phoebe Cates.

    no no no. fuck this Brand cat. Rik Mayall cannot be topped. They should scrap this and do a Bottom feature instead.

    I liked it as a kid, but now looking back def. not as funny. I saw this coming from a mile away & after the Sandler movie he did he might consider making some money of the children like Rogen and others.

    I loved the original with Phoebe Cates, Rik Mayall. Carrie Fisher, Marsha Mason and Tim Matheson as the scum bag husband. Hint, the original movie had charm and wonder. It's the female verison of Little Monsters!

    Little monsters was my shit, but you shouldnt have even said that because now their going to come out with an action adventure non-comedy with Shia LaBuf the homo (however it is spelled).

    loved it as a kid. F the remake. pretty sure that guy was Australian, Rob.
  • Rob_Hunter · 7 months ago
    Possibly, but Australians are just Brits with felony records so I stand by the comment.

    I remember watching Drop Dead Fred when I was a child. It was quite amusing. I don't want to see a remake.

    you're not the only one...what's up with Russell Brand and all the unnecessary remakes?...I mean Get Him To The Greek and Pirates 4 I could see watching....he's an original sort of comic you'd think he want to do his own new movies....I enjoy his stand up and he seems like a talented comedic actor...he might just be a little too hungry for a paycheck rather than establishing a film career
