A Disappointing Continuation
Catangro
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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?

I really enjoyed this film, a lot more than I expected to, and it is comedy gold for all ages. Very funny, very clever, and overall very enjoyable to watch.

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.

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.
