      Audience Reviews for Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man

      • Nov 05, 2014
        The best of Abbott & Costello's follow-ups to meeting Frankenstein and way superior to all of the Invisible Man sequels, Meet the Invisible Man actually boasts the most laugh-out-loud moments from their monster team-ups. Oh, like the film before it, the story and action play out at an almost childlike level. Still, the boxing match alone demonstrates the high points of each franchise: great special effects and hilarious visual gags. In this classic Universal horror-comedy, two bumbling private eyes (Abbott, Costello) help a man wrongly accused of murder (Arthur Franz) who has become invisible to help clear his name. Filmgoers cant help but love this exceptional blending of comedy and horror. The comedy team fire on all cylinders as inept sleuths who just graduated from a detective correspondence school. What constitutes a story earns more plaudits than its contemporaries (the convict-clearing-his-name bit already got used in The Invisible Man's Return and The Invisible Man's Revenge) because its purposely played for laughs, not unintentionally. Bottom line: H.G. Well Done

        Just like every other Abbott and Costello movie, it's fun but very silly. Overall, it's entertaining, but it could have been better if it were a real invisible man movie instead of a comedy.

        This is a classic. Abbott and Costello bring the laughs through out the film. I always enjoy watching this film. This time the duo meet the invisible man. The film is a mix of mystery and comedy. This is one of my favorites from Abbott and Costello.

        Another one of my faves. The boxing match in this one is hilarious. Very, very funny.
