Half the reason I love Drop Dead Fred so much is because my wife hates it so much.

My mother used to call me a mean name and tell me she was quoting the movie. She thought it was funny. I've never seen that movie, but I don't like it.

That's plausible (lots of mean names are bandied about in the movie) and your reaction is understandable. I'm sorry for bringing up the memory.

That Aged Great (YouTube channel) does a two part video on that one. It's fantastic.

Buddy of mine grew up on it and loves it, so we watched it. No idea what the fuck I watched lol weird movie

No disagreement here! I watched it a few times as a kid. I probably would feel similarly to how my wife does if I had first seen it as an adult.
