      Don P Let's do the good first: Mary Woronov and the immortal Micky Dolenz. Or the MILF and the Monkee. Two more oily villains attached to a C movie you can't find. They play their roles to perfection and they are a joy to behold. Kudos. As for the good guys, Dee Wallace Stone reprises as the titular mom, with Barry Livingston as her inventor hubby, They solved the continuity problem by making the invisibility formula that first caused the problem five years hence not totally wear off. It's now activated in times of either extreme stress or excitement. Continuity is a big problem with this one, as I'll explain at the end. The main action takes place in an old house with the baddies trying to kill off a kid that's keeping the bro/sis villains from inheriting The Fortune. What happens is pretty predictable, with every family-friendly ghost-story trope thrown in. Basically, two hours of cinematic Xanax. It's not to say it's *bad.* As a matter of fact it's a nice waste of time. But my problem is continuity. The first movie was set in the early 1990s when that movie was first released. You can tell by the labels of the products that were pictured (Bristol-Myers did a lot of product placement in that film, as did RC Cola). THIS movie seems to be set in the FIFTIES, based on the style of things like radios, phones, and boxes of cereal (like a 1955 box of Post Alpha-Bits). Bottom line: It's not the greatest piece of cinema, but like most tooth-rotting sweetness, it's a fun bit of business. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Laura Griffin (Dee Wallace) is back as the invisible (foster) mom but let's be honest: I watched this movie because it dares to team up Mary Woronov and Mickey Dolenz as brother and sister family killing evildoers and this delighted my brain on so many levels. Also: Robert Quarry. Barry Livingston is back as the dad, Trenton Knight is back as the son and so is about six or seven minutes of the first movie because why reshoot what you already shot? Invisible Mom retains the powers she lost at the end of the last movie but then again she rarely uses them in the film. That's better than the film's cover art, in which a leotard and headband-wearing mom works up a sweat that we can't see while a young voyeuristic child watches in astonishment from a window. I want that movie if only because I will watch any child movie that Fred Olen Ray makes. Or softcore porn that he directs. And somehow, they have the exact same aesthetics which is at once pleasing and somewhat distressing. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member It's better than the first, and it's a fairly decent film, but like the first film, the film never drew my attention for longer than 10 minues. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved how fucking terrible this movie was. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly thick plot for a back-of-the-cupboard family favourite/soft porn. Still the funniest birthday present i have ever got.
