Truly Dreadful Film

Excellent but underrated film

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

In this movie Jesica Alba's dad developed a mental illness. Due to emotional turmoil Jessica Alba developed OCD and turned to numbers in hopes that she can find the right numbers to get her life the way it was when she was young, and she believes that if she doesn't do these things like eat soap or whatever weird things she does that her Father would not come back to her, so she throws everything she cares about and lives a solitary life in hopes that her Dad would come back to Her. So she confines herself in numbers and weird soap eating habits but in the end, she figures out something that changed her life, what if she didn't do these weird habits, would something bad happen in her life?ps. I get the movie because I have OCD too. Also I gave this movie a 10 out of 10 because it changed my life.

Jessica Alba deserves more credit than some reviewers are giving her for this interesting movie. She proves she can wear dumpy outfits and act. One of our family's viewing favorites for years has been Alba's "Dark Angel." We were disappointed when it was "ripped untimely" from the air, probably, I suspect, because its dystopian future would ring too prophetically true today, now that the murderous drones are real (although not in Seattle).I suspect that in taking the role in "An Invisible Sign" Alba was happy to find a role where (a) she could keep her clothes on the whole time, (b) play an interesting character, and (c) not have to worry about being "Hot!!!" all the time. We've been waiting for some time to learn that she can act as well as she showed when she was 19 and 20.The movie itself is charming, a school movie that focuses on children and teachers, without the usual messaging about Waiting for Superman or the recent teacher bashing public school bashing stuff (like Won't Back Down). It is refreshing to watch a teacher movie that sticks to some of the reality of the quirky world of children that teachers really have to live in to do an almost impossible job with a smile.

I thought this was a nice, enjoyable family movie. My kids liked it and I did too. Mona Gray is a 'weirdo-bizzaro' kind of person who seems to find it difficult getting on in life. In fact, her life seems to be lost in translation since her father suffered a nervous breakdown. She does have issues but getting to know other 'weird' people seems to show her a different aspect of life. The film moves along nicely and I think Jessica Alba does a good job with the Mona Gray character. Like Mona says, " there comes a time in your life when you realize you are the person in charge. You are the adult" This a film about growing up and facing up to life's responsibilities, challenging those demons that make you feel worthless. Definitely worth a watch.

"An Invisible Sign" finds Jessica Alba being stabbed in the leg by an axe and shedding buckets of tears, all to convince you that she's a "serious actress". The film is mostly terrible, but it's middle act is pleasantly cute, Alba wears a nice coat throughout and the film has a concept – a frigid, socially distant woman struggles to connect with others - that would make a good drama in another director's hands.The film was directed b Marilyn Agrelo, who peppers "An Invisible Sign" with alpha-numerical metaphysical musings which never quite work. Her point: accept fate where necessary, don't view the world through the prism of signs, and try to find the right balance between "living for yourself and your problems" and "living for others and their problems". Bending too hard in either direction lead to neuroses.Alba spends the film overacting, playing her character much too introverted, much too bottled up (it's not all her fault), a charade which reveals its superficiality when the film ends and she finds herself sucking her lover's tongue like a seasoned babe. Hyper-cute, the actress never convinces as a dweeby maths wizard.6.9/10 - Worth one viewing.
