Cast

Sequel

The film was followed by a 1999 sequel, Invisible Mom 2. [1] also directed by Ray. [2] But it has also a 1997 follow-up, Invisible Dad, [3] whose plot is described as "much inferior" than this film's. [4]

Analysis

Blending science-fiction, parody and comedy, the film has been described as a farce. [3] In her about book about fictional invisibility, A. Calanchi states, "Fred Olen Ray is exemplary, since it seems that he directed at least two family movies on the same subject". [5]
