    Great black comedy.

    Really enjoyed the screening of Dead Fred at Lymington. It is an hilarious black comedy but it also has heart. Great performance s from the cast.

    Good to watch

    A very easy watch. A black comedy about 4 older gals and their problems with their friend's dead husband.

    Some great humour and good acting.

    First 5 mins is the worst

    Just got a feeling it's one of the worst production when watching the first 5 mins, but it getting better right after. I won't say it's top funniest comedy but it's still fun to watch. Desperate housewives idea and not too bad to watch.

    Weird yet maybe wonderful?

    This is not a good film. It has bad film acting, weird timing, strange deliveries and the like - when looked at as a film. However, the "film" actually works really quite well as a play. The actresses deliver the dialogue like a play and that's what the format is. From this stance, the delivery and character chemistry is way more notable and charming and you can feel what the director was trying to do. The heart and comedy of the piece does come from interaction between the charismatic cast as opposed to actual jokes and with such heavy content you have to admire the feat to be able to create that. The score while impressive, kind of has no place when used and overbears on otherwise poignant scenes more than anything, with audio overall being unbalanced. Dead Fred is a mature dark comedy that is raw, interesting, and really unlike anything else I've ever watched but it will absolutely take a certain kind of person to enjoy.

    Great fun..

    Gentle comedy about "mature " ladies. Obviously not to everyone's taste. If you're looking for edge of the seat car chase carnage, blood soaked terror or best buddy heists avoid this movie.
