Imaginary friend from childhood returns when a young woman is in trouble [closed]

It is where a young woman has an emotional crisis in her life, with her cheating boyfriend and controlling mother.

And her imaginary friend from when she was little comes back and causes more chaos for her and nobody else can see him?

I think it's from the 1990's.

Can anyone identify this?

Best Answer

After some Googling I found one movie that seems to be pretty much like you described it: Drop Dead Fred.

"A young woman finds her already unstable life rocked by the presence of a rambunctious imaginary friend from childhood."

The imaginary friend here is played by comedy actor Rik Mayall, wearing a green suit.
