Drop Dead Fred

This film, to me, is a lot like mrs doubtfire in that a lot of the message behind it went over my head when I was a child. Back then drop dead fred was just a funny green guy getting in trouble, but now that I'm older I see the sort of poignancy and symbolism of the message that anyone is able to be strong enough to stand up to their abusers, break the cycle, walk away and get better. Despite the silliness and the childish jokes I would say that this isn't a kids film rather than a film that shares a powerful message by bringing a childlike view to the screen to outline how a person should be able to be happy
