Toby M I'm not sure whether they tried to copy ghost dad with Bill Cosby but It's not a very good movie she isn't a bad actress its just a foul movie that got a sequel Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Researching this movie — yes, I am home alone on a Sunday obsessively writing about Fred Olen Ray movies while you live your life — I discovered a website called The Chucks Connections which documents every appearance of Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes in movies. If you liked Disney live action movies of the 70s but perhaps wanted some weirdness under the skin, then you'll find something here, a movie in which a dad makes an invisibility syrum, the son wants to drink it to get back at a bully and the mom (Dee Wallace!) drinks it. And hijnks, as always say and will say all week when writing about Ray's movies, ensues. This is a movie that not only has its child hero watching Beast of the Yellow Night on TV but also has that movie's star John Ashley show up as a henpecked neighbor. It's also nice that producer Andrew Stevens got some work for his mother Stella here. I also endorse Russ Tamblyn getting acting gigs anywhere and anyway that he can. Same as Gary Graver, who shows up in a small role here, and is the only man who could convince Orson Welles to edit a scene in an adult movie. The tagline for this film is "Not seeing is believing," which kind of is hurting my brain right now and putting it into loops and making me think about gnostic dualism. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Almost insulting quality Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 3.5/10 This "family" film really isn't any such thing. To me, a family film should appeal to the entire family, which this does not. I can hardly see this appealing to any reasonably intelligent adult. It is clearly aimed at the 12 or younger crowd. Stupid storyline is not very entertaining. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member As if Invisible Dad wasn't punishment enough, here we have the considerably worse (it IS possible) alternative by Fred Olen Ray whom, I suppose, wanted to chill out on family fare after questionable efforts like Bad Girls From Mars or Scream Cream Hot Tub Party (porn). Olen Ray CLEARLY is the best choice of director for a kids movie :-S Anyway this time instead of a machine, it's a potion which turns the mum (the dog and a lizard) invisible. Whereas the special effects in Invisible Dad were pretty poor, they are nothing short of horrendous here. Of course you can see the strings in every shot and the green screening is a disaster.
