Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Tom Dooley Griff (Ryan Kwanten) is a nerd. He works in an office where he is bullied by the alpha male and spends his time fighting crime – imaginary crime – in a rubber suit with a gig 'G' on the front. His brother has been looking out for him but is despairing of his nocturnal habits and the costume he wears.Then Melody is introduced into his life. She is supposed to be his brother's girlfriend but finds an affinity with the nervous younger brother instead. She also has 'issues' the belief that she can align her molecules with those of a wall and thereby pass through it, being an obvious quirk. This film is essentially about people with mental issues and is not a super hero film per se. It is also not really very funny, but on the relationship part it actually scores reasonably well. The acting is all fine and for a small budget film it does not seem to suffer but I felt it could have been funnier, or it may be my sense of humour as a lot of folk have said they did find it to be a laughathon. That aside it is still a reasonable watch and does have its heart in the right place.
siderite Released in the same year as Kick Ass, Griff the Invisible is also about a wannabe superhero. Working in an office at day, bullied and seen as weird by his coworkers, Ryan Kwanten's character assumes the identity of Griff the Protector at night. Doomed to be forever weird, his salvation comes in the form of another weird person, played by the ridiculously beautiful Maeve Dermody, who falls for him as the only person who is like her that she has met.Now, I can't really say if I liked the movie or not. I loved the idea of the invisibility cloak made by soaking a suit in invisible ink and other quirky ideas like that, but in the end we are talking about weird romance and not superheroes, a switch that comes into play around the middle of the film. If you feel out of place in the "real world" you might feel the vibe that connects you to the characters, but the underlying drama of it all made me feel more uncomfortable than I would have wanted. Is Griff insane or not? And if yes, is that OK if he found the girl willing to love and enable him in his insanity? Watch the film and answer for yourself.
Saad Khan Griff the Invisible – TRASH IT (C-) Aussie The Griff is one of the stupidest movie ever, it's about a wanna be super hero who lives in illusion and when you think he is indeed the stupidest person on planet, here comes the girl who is even more crazier and lunatic than Griff himself. Our love for Ryan Kwanten Aka. Jason Stackhouse may make us bear this unexplainable movie but it doesn't mean it's good or even mediocre. Ryan Kwanten tried his best to make us believe in his craziness but in the end it seemed like a joke played on audiences. Meave Dermody, well what I can say she is good but her role is so crazy and repulsive that at least I didn't liked it at all. On the whole, it's a forgettable, stupidest movie I have ever seen. Trash it!
vladtn I never write reviews but I was so shocked by the film's vote that I felt compelled to. Griff is an amazing film. One that mixes magic realism without the complacency of most recent films. And yes, one that shows true love, two pieces of humanity that can only combine with each other. In that regard it is very reminiscent of Punch Drunk Love. Here too, the female character is compelling, and the actor you loved in True Blood is playing a similar role as in the series (slightly low on the IQ scale), but with many more nuances and a lot of charm. This is definitely one of the most interesting variation in the wave of super- hero/vigilante films we saw recently.Watch it, you won't regret it.
