Holly became invisible,and nobody remembers her, after her mother died of cancer. No one can see her since she was 12.
She is now a detective or paparazzo. She is the best at her job,as she sneaks into people's houses, goes through their things,right in front of them,but they can't see her!
One night,a bouncer at a club, sees her,and she realizes she knows him,as she took pictures of him cheating on his famous wife. She goes back to the club he works at, and tells him the truth. She decides to fix his reputation and get him matches,as he used to be an MMA fighter.
She manages to get him fight after fight, and he starts getting famous again,so famous, his ex wife wants him back. Problem is, he started dating Holly.
Holly also needs to fix her invisibility problem,as no matter how much she helped her man, he can't get past the fact nobody else but him can see her. Real love,right there!
The movie was pretty decent,kept me interested,but the part with being invisible was not that well thought. I think it's actually a metaphor about being selfish or self centered ,as Holly could only see her problems(her mother was pretty much her only friend),not her family's struggles. But..there is a but! Holly was 12,she was a kid! How was she to understand what her father,and siblings went through,when her mother died?! I think it's a harsh punishment for a kid who was grief-stricken !
Also,why didn't her siblings go through the same thing,as they seemed absorbed by their problems too?! Why does this rule only apply to her since pretty much everyone in the movie was self absorbed with their problems?!
The actors were good.
The soundtrack was fine.
The movie is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Crackle, Hoopla, Peacock, Peacock Premium, Plex, PlutoTv, The Roku Channel, Vudu Free, Tubi; and is for rent / sale on Amazon, AppleTv, Google Play Movies, Vudu, YouTube .
