Movie Reviews of The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: A Good Adult Film based on Adult Graphic Novels
Summary: 4 Stars
Unrated adult "comedy." According to IMDb.com, this 2003 film is an edited verison of the 1997 TV Series "Butterscotch," though the TV series had a different director and writer (and mostly the same actors, but their character's names are spelled differently; and one movie actor actually played a different part in the tv series).
DVD features: This DVD contains the unrated film, a Special Features section and a Preview Attractions section. The Special Features include three cast biographies (Kim Dawson, Scott Coppola, & Gabriella Hall) and the movie trailer. The Preview Attractions includes trailers for "Firefight" (Stephen Baldwin), "Hot Parts" (Kenya Moore, Sticky Fingaz, Tami Anderson, Jessica Lugo) and "Sex, Lies & Politics" (Doug Merrill).
Stars/credits: The movie stars Scott Coppola (Norman Parent, the invisible man), Gabriella Hall (Kelli Parkinson; "Clean Slate," "LA Confidential," "The Truth About Cats and Dogs," "Shadow Dancer"; and the woman on the cover and back of the DVD; also known as Laura Saldivar), Craig Peck (Paul; "There's Nothing Out There"), Doug Merrill (Robert Bull), Stacey Leigh Mobley (Becky Lovey; also known as Holly Hollywood), and Kim Dawson (Linda or Madam Nirvana; "seen in over fifty films"). The movie was written and directed by Rolfe Kanefsky ("There's Nothing Out There"). The credits mention that this movie is "Based on the comic books of Milo Manara," and while it is not specifically mentioned, I believe this is based on two or more "Butterscotch" books.
Plot Summary: Norman Parent is a struggling actor who has just been dumped by his girlfriend who has found someone else. To pick up extra cash, in other words to pay the bills, Norman works as a waiter at private parties. While working as a waiter, Norman is told to get some wine from the wine cellar. He finds two people that have slipped off from the party for some action, and he fantasies that the man and woman are his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend (a somewhat reoccurring theme). He dodges past them to a small room where he runs into Kelli Parkinson, another struggling actor. Before too much time passes, Norman's boss sticks his head in the room and fires Norman. Kelli leaves, and Norman knocks over a large container of some liquid substance. Well, that liquid substance gets all over Norman, and he turns invisible and acquires the scent of butterscotch. The rest of the movie involves Norman wandering around invisible getting into mischief, mostly with Kelli, and having fantasies about his ex-girlfriend, including an erotic Olympic competition. This includes: Norman getting back at his ex-boss at the party by making him look like a fool, and playing with the guests and the female waitress (by ripping her dress off, which inspires one female guest to take her dress off - who is attractive and quite happy, but not an actress); fun with Kelli at her friends apartment when Kelli accidentally eats the wrong food that makes her very aroused; fun in Europe/England: joining in on a séance; Italy: joining Kelli for a screen test, and "helping" a horror film actress "act" more believable in being aroused/erotically energized; and other fine adventures.
Most of the mischief, though, involves a second invisible man, Kelli's agent Robert Bull, who appears to have gotten some of that invisible cream onto himself at the party. Robert seems to have more fun as an invisible man than Norman. Robert's activities include playing with two women that are visiting his office (actually, the two women have more fun with each other, with the invisible man "helping"); following Kelli to Europe, and playing with some people in Europe, like a hotel reception desk attendant (pretending to be a ghost and ripping her clothes off); attacking Kelli at a restaurant, and being confused for Norman.
Review: The acting is actually better than you might expect for this type of film (at least Scott/Norman (before he turned invisible), Gabriella/Kelli and Norman's friend in the movie; I certainly believe they could do well in more mainstream material). The plot is a little absurd, but also somewhat better than you might expect (though everyone's acceptance of an invisible Norman is a little strange). Obviously some money was spent to make this film (though it appears that they reused some sets). It did not look like a film that was just hurriedly made in someone's basement, or backyard.
Summary of The Erotic Misadventures of the Invisible Man (Unrated Edition)
This movie is sort of a sequel to the Butterscotch graphic novels by Milo Manara. An aspiring actor finds an invisibility formula in a home where he is hired as a waiter. Clumsy fingers result in him being covered in the formula and becoming invisible.\nHaving been dumped by one girl earlier in the day, he finds himself being thrown together with a new girl right away (another actress). Little does he know that someone else has discovered the formula and become invisible.\nThe story starts in LA btu then moves to London and finally Italy. Sex, ghosts, auditions, and a meeting of the invisible men fill out the story.\n (...) Many are viewed through scenery such as cobwebs and wine racks. The wine cellar is interesting as it starts in LA and winds up in Italy. But despite all the naked flesh this is really a comedy and fails in its attempt at an erotic atmosphere. Sure, some will find the volume of flesh erotic but not all.Similar DVD Movies
