Quotes:

[first lines]
Diane Powell: It wasn't easy when Nick's father died, raising a teenager alone. But with a boy like Nick, well, he is now everything a mother could want. We've been through some hard times. We've carried each other. Now I look to the future, and I know there's nothing that we can't do together.

Movie Connections:

References "Sesame Street" (1969)

Soundtrack:

Weak and Powerless

Another dumb teen movie pretending not to be one.

Stupid, mindless flick. Those teen actors performances are awful, the plot is idiotic and full of holes. The music is some horrible soft "cartoon college rock" and the ending is senseless. Another shitty production about irresponsible retarded teenagers (covered by some pseudo-supernatural ghost crap) for the same audience. And what's about the 18-years old girl beating up boys for money??? That actually happens? I don't think so. Movie filled with young bums, cowards and "those rich kids lost in poetry". And look at the name of the director - it's the guy who made Blade Trinity (another "amazing" film). The Invisible is visibly predictable and cheap. Waste of time. PS. What M.G Harden is doing among these "actors wannabees" ?
