Wow. This was horrible. In fact, it was so horrible that I'm not even going to waste my time writing a full review about it. Good-bye.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Invisible
Parents need to know that this thriller is being heavily marketed to teens, so many of them will want to see it. Expect a fair amount of swearing and mild sexuality and plenty of teen-on-teen violence and criminality, much of which is perpetuated by a highly dysfunctional girl who lies, cheats, steals, and kills. The main character has a distant relationship with his mother, whom he secretly resents for expecting him to be perfect.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about parental expectations and gender issues. It's unusual for a teen thriller to have a female villain like this one -- instead of a catty high school "mean girl," she's aggressive, violent, and in many ways "masculine." Do parents expect different behavior from boys than they do from girls? Why? Does the media play a role in establishing those expectations? If so, how?

This is not preposterous
I really enjoyed the movie it was quite good. You on the other hand common sense media ARE preposterous. You mis rate a lot of good shows and games, if that is not preposterous I do not know what is! (I will get flagged for hate speech)

Not preposterous
I actually enjoyed this movie. I don't remember it that well considering I saw it so long ago, but I don't think it deserved the rating CSM gave it.
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
i thought this was a pretty good drama. i dont really think its apropriate for kids under 12. nick gets beat with a bat and kicked and punched at one scne. the outcome was very gross. there was a one breif sex scene with no nudity. language is moderate. it was an alright movie though.

Hey it's a pretty good movie!
Yeah I don't know why everyone hates this movie, because I thought it was good. It has an original plot and the actors are pretty cool. The one part I don't like is the second to last scene where Annie is bleeding all over but no one notices. That was really not believable. But the rest was good!!

a movie that teaches a lesson
This movie really teaches that everyone has a good and a bad side. I really enjoyed it and think it is worth seeing.

Awesome movie
I loved this movie! I don't know why it got such a bad review. It isn't really a movie for kids, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. I personally think it sends a good message-- getting to the message might have been intense, but if it weren't, you wouldn't have gotten so ingulfed in the feelings, which I really did. Very well-made and relatable.

A great film for a mature audience only know your kid.

Well I found this stunning.
Oh boy, I absolutely adored this movie. I am, particularly dissapointed at some of these critiques. Personally it failed my expectations of someone who has a career of reviewing things. [Little note; Nick wasn't 'surpressing the urge to watch Annie in the shower' His World Body was dieing, so his soul started to fade as well. You notice that throughout the movie. Thought I'd point that out since some people are dimwitted, such as whoever wrote this review.] A lot of parts in this are relatable and I admire the fact that the producer/writer/etc. were able to get viewers to change there view on Annie. At the beginning I'm going to assume we all looked down on her and at the end I was hoping incredibely that her and Nick would end up together. [Also I'd like to note that they didn't end up hooking up. Did whoever write this review pay attention?] Of course it had it's faults such as things like Annie being in a hospital and just dieing... And the nurses not caring that the mother slapped her and such. Also that a lot of the responses in the beginning by the characters are monotone and very robotic. It also would have been nice to see some loose ends tied up, although you can't get everything, eh? But in general I really enjoyed it. I loved the poetry aspect and the fact the entire movie in itself was a metaphore. As well, in the end when Nick had on a bird shirt (representing the idea of how he figured out what was happening to him.) I am quite dissapointed with the review for this movie on this site because they overlooked the good aspects of this, and not just because it was a negative review, but it wasn't given much thought. Anyhow, Wonderful movie. <3

a movie that you can sit and actually enjoy watching for 2 some hours
i think that the movie was definitely better suited for older children, appropriately rated pg-13 but it was not that bad in terms of things that shouldn't be seen. any strong violence was implied as apposed to shown, and some of the issues that the movie dealt with felt very strong and important. the movie ended in a very touching way and definitely was worth watching

This movie ROCKED! I would see it again and again!
This movie was released April 27, 2007. Two young teens' real selves are invisible to others, one due to his untimely death and the other due to the neglect she's endured since the death of her mother. Nick Powell gets beaten up by Annie Newton and gets nearly killed! Nick's soul comes out of his body and tries to find out the answer to his "crime scene". He gets help from his friends (Annie and Pete)

lighten up its out there
With any movie such as this, take a grain of salt. Not ever character will be responsible for themselves and yes they can get away with it. Language was predictable (yes parents they do talk like this when we are not around) but could have toned it down for the rating. If your are not a critic, you could enjoy this moving with your 12 year old or older. I pays to know your kids.

excellent!! but i hated when she comes into his room .. it's not coherent
i loved the movie... i think it gives you the view of lots of teenages... parents: WATCH IT! stop overprotecting your kids.. kids: love your parents.. they just want the better for us. it's a great movie, no special effects (the movie doesn't need them)... EVERYTHING IS VERY GOOD all the messages really get into you the only thing i didn't like about the movie is that she enters to his room... YOU ALMOST KILLED HIM.. WHAT ABOUT THAT?! and when he spies on her on the shower... it's ridiculous that was soooo teenager

Nine dollars!!
This movie was a waste of 2 hours of my life I will never get back. There were so many flaws in the movie it was impossible for me to suspend my disbelief. Finally, the main take home message is that if you have long pretty girl hair you can get away with anything. She couldn't be responsible for anything she does...look at that hair?!?!? This was a nine dollar movie cost about eight dollars too much.

Amazing!
ONE STAR?! What's your problem?! Sure, the previews make it look all tense, which it's not very much by the way... But it has it's times... And it's also an EXTREMELY GOOD drama if you look at it that way!
