Una mamma invisibile

The Video Movie Guide gives this one 3 stars, so I rented it for my nieces, and they loved it. Invinting seems to run in the family, and the girls really loved his automatic bed-maker! When he's grounded, the boy steals his inventor father's invisibility formula, but his mother (the mom from ET) drinks it instead. Now the boy can't sneak an extra cookie without mom seeing him. The girls laughed, and I thought it was an okay movie. Good for the kids.

Boy oh boy oh golly gee,

The most interesting thing in the movie was the hilarity of the bluescreen effects used to create Mom's "invisibility." They looked like they were shot on cheap video, and it looks totally unreal, and not even in a good way where its so funny that you end up loving the movie...

I did NOT end up loving this movie. The attempted "steadicam" shots were really pathetic as well. I mean, hey, if they had a low budget flick, that's fine. You can still make a great movie with a low budget. But, a BAD movie and a low budget AND effects. That makes for a bad combination. In this case, such a doomed combo created the craptastic film, "Invisible Mom." If you have kids, and your kids have no taste, perhaps they will stay awake through all of this one.

Invisible Mom is the one obscure family film I've always wanted to revisit once more after seeing it on Youtube, though this movie has some interesting yet cheap special effects and the story is kinda awkward since it's "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" meets "The Invisible Woman" (1940); the Cast is okay including Dee Wallace (E. T.; Cujo and the Skateboard Kid 2) and Barry Livingston (who plays a Scientist) of My Three Sons as well as Russ Tamblyn who plays a Villian who works at Josh's father's workplace throughout this movie and the child actors is not great just okay including Trenton Knight (Munchie Strikes Back, the Skateboard Kid 2), Philip Van Dyke (Hey Arnold!) and Guiseppe Andrews (who later appear in Detriot Rock City) who plays a Bully to my big surprise. Overall Invisible Mom is just a very interesting and obscure Family Film from the '90s and for those who saw it once and revisited again years later, but i recommand watch the Inivisible Man (1933) directed by James Whale along with sequels and spinoffs from Universal Pictures and just don't either watch it again with your kids.

recently watched this film with some friends while drinking turns out after a bit of alcohol this is one of the funniest films you can see

provided (as with batman and robin) you take the film as a comedy that is supposed to be stupid then you will most likely love it

yes the plot is ludicrous and the acting is terrible but if you pretend that its meant to be like that you will have a fun-time

also there is an invisible mom 2 so that most tell you there is something right about it

highly, highly recommended if you have a sense of humour if not then stay away as you will be disappointed

The Griffin family is your typical suburban family with your typical suburban family problems. Dad (Barry Livingston) is a slightly eccentric scientist/inventor having problems standing up to his stuffy, impossible-to-impress boss. Son (Trenton Knight) is having a tough time dealing with the neighborhood bully and has just been grounded for not doing his chores. And Mom (Dee Wallace Stone), well, she has even bigger problems when she accidentally ingests an invisibility serum created by her husband and disappears from sight. After overcoming her initial horror, mom ends up using her newfound powers to help out each member of her family while her husband scurries to create an antidote to return her to normal.

No genre is safe from director Ray; he can churn out the sleaziest T&A fest to the mildest and most harmless kiddie-oriented trifle. Despite the hokey blue screen special effects and the silly screenplay, this passable kids film will no doubt please the 10 and under crowd. Most adults may want to pull a disappearing act of their own while it's playing, but some others may enjoy the appearances from such cult celebrities such as Russ Tamblyn, Stella Stevens, John Ashley (in his first role in many years; which turned out to also be his last) and Brinke Stevens. Dee Wallace's ingratiating and enthusiastic lead performance is a major plus and she helps keep it all watchable. Though listed as 1997 on here I am pretty sure it was actually made in 1995. A minor video and cable hit, it was followed by two sequels; INVISIBLE DAD and INVISIBLE MOM II.
