About
If you enjoy light, kid-friendly Disney comedies with goofy campus chaos and an invisibility gimmick, this should hit the spot; Not for you if you want sharp humor or realism like The Love Bug.
Pros: playful invisibility gags; family-friendly laughs; likeable cast | Cons: plot feels recycled; third act drags; some slow stretches
