Rik Mayall gives a typically manic “Bottom” – style performance in this rip-roaringly funny comedy. This hilarious film also stars Phoebe Cates, Bridget Fonda and Carrie Fisher. When Elizabeth (Cates) returns to her mother’s home when her marriage breaks up, she recreates her imaginary childhood friend, Fred (Mayall), to escape from the trauma of losing her husband and her job. In between the chaos and mayhem that Fred creates, Elizabeth desperately attempts to win back her husband and return to normality, with comical results.
