WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Prismark10 Now You See Him, Now You Don't is a silly Disney comedy which kids might enjoy but it really is a bad stupid film.It is the further adventures of science student Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) who discovers an invisibility formula by accident and he thinks he could win a prestigious science prize that could save his college.College Dean Higgins (Joe Flynn) cuts a deal with investor A J Arno (Cesar Romero) who has just been released from jail. Arno owns the college's mortgage and plans to turn the site into a casino as an old piece of legislation allowed gambling on the land. The Dean is unaware of Arno's crooked plans.Arno also steals Dexter's invisibility formula and plans to rob a bank but Dexter and his fellow students give chase.The film starts off brightly but really loses its way. The golf scenes just meanders like the golf balls that Dexter somehow contrived to place in the hole.When Arno makes his getaway car invisible, how is it that it also becomes indestructible and somehow never becomes visible even when it passes through water puddles?

SnoopyStyle College dean Higgins (Joe Flynn) is trying to cut the chemistry department budget. He dismisses all the science being done by the students. A lightning strike hits the lab. The next day, Dexter Riley (Kurt Russell) checks the damaged experiments and discovers an invisibility liquid. He shows his friends Richard Schuyler and Debbie Dawson. Crooked investor A.J. Arno (Cesar Romero) has bought up the college's mortgage. The Dean is clueless but the three friends suspect Arno has nefarious motives.This is the second of the Dexter Riley movies from Disney. It is charming family fun. There is an endearing innocence about these movies. Baby-faced Kurt Russell is great. I also love the pre-CGI special effects. As a kid, I was engrossed by them. As an adult, I am enchanted by them. The story is silly but that's also part of the charm.

MartianOctocretr5 Comedic take on the Invisible Man motif, featuring Disney's Medfield College gang of Dexter Riley, Dean Higgins et al. A good showcase for Kurt Russell's early work in comedy, before he started doing violent action heroes a few years later.This time, Riley (Russell) is one of several college students trying to win a scientific invention contest. Lightning strikes (literally) and he finds himself in possession of a viable invisibility potion. He is ready to wow the world with this scientific breakthrough, but then, some evil hi jinx by crooks intervene, setting up some weird moments, car chases, predictable slapstick, keystone cop style bumbling, and other tomfoolery. The invisibility special effects are cheap, but it doesn't matter.There are some slow points and lulls, but the good scenes make up for it. The golf sequences and the "invisibility presentation" bit are the funniest moments. The cast features some great character acting by Joe Flynn, Cesar Romero, Jim Backus, and William Windom.Brainless fun for when you're in the mood for 3 Stooges type slapstick.

bkoganbing Kurt Russell and a whole bunch of the cast from The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes got to repeat their characters in Now You See Him, Now You Don't. The biggest surprise of course was Cesar Romero who with Richard Bakalyn should have been in jail because of what happened in the last film.But Romero apparently had a good lawyer and he's out and holding the mortgage on dear old Medfield College. Kurt and his buddies find out that Romero plans to foreclose on the college and open it up as a gambling palace with dogtrack, casino and all.In the meantime Russell as Dexter Riley again is now conducting experiments with invisibility. Lightning strikes once again and he's got himself a liquid invisibility formula which could win a science award and solve dear old Medfield's problems. But not if Romero gets his hands on it because he has other more nefarious plans as any crook just might. Some nice special effects characterize Now You See Him, Now You Don't as the kids use the invisibility formula to help Dean Joe Flynn win a golf match. Golf pro Billy Casper never was up against something like this when he faced off against Hogan and Snead.And once again absolutely no hint of what was going on in the real world coming into the the Disney created world of Medfield College.Still the film has some good laughs in it and it shouldn't be taken all that seriously.
