Plot

Day-O is a purified TV-movie variation on the odious theatrical feature Drop Dead Fred. Mother-to-be Delta Burke begins to get those old familiar prebirth blues. Feeling that she's let life pass her by, Delta is enervated by the return of her imaginary childhood playmate, Day-O (Elijah Wood). Nothing much happens, except for the formidable Ms. Burke raising her voice to an air-raid-siren decibel every few minutes. As always, however, young Mr. Wood is consistently fine. Day-O was originally telecast May 3, 1992, in the timeslot that used to be occupied by the Disney Sunday Movie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
