Überraschend unsichtbar

Teenager Cleo's school science project goes quite awry, causing her popular older sister Molly to go invisible. Cleo is a student whose science project mistakenly makes her older sister Molly invisible.

Definitely liking or not a movie depends more on our state of mind than the movie itself, totally freaked out, extremely exaggerated, completely absurd, I'm totally delivered captivated... Incredible the power of standardizing various iconic situations and daydreams swallowing as something normal and commonplace, discovered by teenagers, almost children, one sister replacing the other as if they were twins, among other absurdities and the like of Disney movies... We love...

I give Disney a lot of leeway with their made for tv films. They are going for a very specific (and frankly important) niche. Preteen girls need to have their voice echoed on screens and Disney is one of the very few companies that makes a concerted effort in that area. That niche comes with certain freedoms, but it also binds their hands in important ways as well. I get that. And I allow for that.

Even with me cutting them slack, this was a pretty poor effort on their part. The chose to tell a science based story, but the script seems written by that high school kid who hated science, never bothered to understand it, and assumed you didn't either. The rules for the sister's invisibility make absolutely no sense. They are in consistently applied to the point of distraction. The entire course of action by the sisters after one of them turns invisible makes absolutely no sense. course of action by the sisters after one of them turns invisible makes absolutely no sense. Their priorities are so warped my 11-year-old was utterly befuddled. Every drop of drama and tension in the script was contrived and unnecessary. Even the Disney homebase, passionate heart melting speeches about the importance of sisterhood and friendship, fell like dead fish from the mouths of the poor actresses who were forced by the Disney machine to be in this movie.

In short, this whole movie was one long wtf?!?!

The Invisible Sister is a 2015 fantasy starring Rowan Blanchard and Paris Beric. It tells the tale of two sisters one is popular,the other isn't. But when the youngest sister Cleo(Blanchard) accidentally does a science project on invisibility,she accidentally makes her eldest popular sister Molly(Beric) Invisible.

But will Cleo find an antidote to bring her sister back within 24 hours. Overall I found it enjoyable .

In ten years this will join the list of forgotten Disney titles and this review will only by seen by those checking the credits for one of the actors. (My bet is Ms. Berlac, but Rowan may have a career as well). However, that being said this was another well written and acted DCOM. 2015 has been a stellar year for the DCOM's and Disney deserves credit for producing four good movie this year. The failing of many DCOMs or any youth targeted TV movie is that they are slapped together without style or character development and the acting of the minor characters is usually not a concern. This was well acted and written with subtle tones to the characters that made it enjoyable. Paris carried the movie and it also showed that Krar is a better actor than the drivel he was given in Jesse and now even worse in Bunkd. Even the science teacher has some dimension to him. The only problem I had with the movie was the question of why her invisibility had to be a secret, since no one had done anything wrong or illegal and there was no reason for it to be. Of course, that would have killed about 3/5 of the movie so that is probably the reason.

Certainly, as with most DCOMs there is only so good it can be. However, these kids seem like kids I know as opposed to a lot of the characters in these movies. Hence, I recommend this movie as a good use of an hour and one half. So, when Disney drags this out around Halloween in 2020, you should watch it.

Invisible Sister had a promising idea and some genuinely sweet moments, especially between the sisters, but it just didn't quite land for me. The chemistry between Rowan Blanchard and Paris Berelc is nice and makes their relationship believable, but the story itself feels super predictable and kind of all over the place. The humor works sometimes, but often it feels forced or just misses the mark. The movie plays it very safe, sticking to typical Disney Channel clichés without taking any real risks or adding fresh twists. It's a light and easy watch if you're in the mood for something simple and family-friendly, but it's nothing special and kind of forgettable. I wish it had pushed a little harder to be more memorable.
