Trivia:

The shirt that Nick is wearing at the end of the movie bears a crow on the chest. In some Native American legends (and the graphic novel by James O'Barr bearing the name) the crow could carry a person's soul back from the land of the dead.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When you see Pete looking at the ticket, you can see that the band-aid is on his right thumb, even though he was cut on his left thumb.

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.

The Invisible - We can only hope

** Contains Spoilers ** But then watching 90 minutes of this spoiled my night! One word - Dreadful!! We were sent this disk by our DVD rental company in error as neither me or my wife can remember putting it on our rental list. Instead of returning it we watched the trailer on here and thought it looked OK. How could we be!! A total waste of 90 something minutes of my life.

Possibly the worst bunch of angst ridden American teens ever assembled! The rich kid brooding poet, His best friend, The 5 foot nothing female mob boss who at any point in the film any of the other characters could just have slapped down. The Oh she's not so bad really, her dads an ex-cop who never even raised his voice to her, he step mum didn't have dinner ready, her mum died, Oh wo is me!!. The Cops... oh you've been caught with a large amount of stolen expensive jewellery of course you can have bail, I know we have prison overcrowding in the UK but please....Frankly at the end I was just hoping everyone died! The script, the dialogue, the acting everything just awful.

It should be made invisible!!
