The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (2003) from Tuna

The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (2003 video) is the newest soft-core from the Rolfe Kanefsky Click Productions, again based on the erotic comics of Milo Manara.

The title alone gives you the main plot points. An aspiring actor shows up for an audition and sees his girlfriend, with whom he lives rent-free, with another guy. Then he is fired from his day job. Then, he spills an invisibility potion on himself, and becomes invisible. So, in a few short hours, he has lost his girlfriend, his apartment, his job and his body.

He quickly discovers that invisibility has some advantages, and ends up scoring with Gabriella Hall, soon and often. The basically silly plot takes them all over Europe, and I doubt that there is any point where the film runs two minutes with no female nudity.  Gabriella Hall alone was in four separate, well lit and lengthy nude scenes, and showed everything, including full frontal. Six other women got naked as well. I did spot crotch patches on most of the women in the film, but only briefly.

Hall's roommate is a psychic who often casts spells by having sex. When she is summoned to England to help with a poltergeist, she brings Hall and our invisible man along. The only way to get rid of the spirit of the devoted but departed butler is by staging an orgy, thus offending his British sensibilities.

NUDITY REPORT
  • Gabriella Hall - shows everything
  • Elina Madison, as the invisible man's ex, shows everything.
  • Kim Dawson, as the psychic shows breasts.
  • Leslie Olivan, as a scream queen, shows breasts and buns.
  • Sheila Vale, as the Brit with the butler problem, shows breasts and buns.
  • Stacy Leigh Mobley, as another aspiring actress, shows everything, including a lovely full frontal at the dining table.
  • An unknown also shows breasts and buns in a girl girl with Mobley.

My favorite scene takes place in England, where the invisible man beats the hell out of a mime for insulting Gabriella Hall. Of course to the spectators, it seems to be the greatest mime performance ever!

The meaning of the IMDb score: 7.5 usually indicates a level of excellence equivalent to about three and a half stars from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm watchability, comparable to approximately two and a half stars from the critics. The fives are generally not worthwhile unless they are really your kind of material, equivalent to about a two star rating from the critics, or a C- from our system. Films rated below five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale. (Possibly even less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

My own guideline: A means the movie is so good it will appeal to you even if you hate the genre. B means the movie is not good enough to win you over if you hate the genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an open mind about this type of film. C means it will only appeal to genre addicts, and has no crossover appeal. (C+ means it has no crossover appeal, but will be considered excellent by genre fans, while C- indicates that it we found it to be a poor movie although genre addicts find it watchable). D means you'll hate it even if you like the genre. E means that you'll hate it even if you love the genre. F means that the film is not only unappealing across-the-board, but technically inept as well. Any film rated C- or better is recommended for fans of that type of film. Any film rated B- or better is recommended for just about anyone. We don't score films below C- that often, because we like movies and we think that most of them have at least a solid niche audience. Now that you know that, you should have serious reservations about any movie below C-.

Based on this description, this is a C, as a perfectly good sex farce, that doesn't attempt to reach beyond its grasp. (I hope there is still an audience for this kind of movie. They are not to be taken seriously, and are presented in a spirit of fun.) There is a lot of skin on display, the pace is pretty good, and some of the jokes even work.
