| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThis material is intriguing enough that I wish there had been more of it. Comedy consists of the application of logic to the absurd, and there are many more opportunities here than the screenplay takes advantage of. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonDirector John Carpenter did the best he could with this invisible man story, but unfortunately, Chevy Chase was in charge. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasWhatever his intentions, the finished product is about as deep and meaningful as you’d expect from a work starring the Man Who Is Clark Griswold. Which is a good thing really, as, uncomplicated, genuinely funny comedy players are thin on the ground at the moment, and it means Memoirs can carry off the semi-slapstick, borderline-cretinous gags with pace and panache. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt stumbles along as a low-rent ripoff of James Whalens's classic of the The Invisible Man |

| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThere’s every indication that director John Carpenter (Halloween) was trying for more than another rinky-dink Chevy Chase comedy. Except for the effects, though, Memoirs of an Invisible Man comes disappointingly close to being just that. |
| Film Freak CentralBill ChambersThe best reason to see Memoirs is its groundbreaking special effects |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatOffers snapshots of contemporary attitudes toward friendship, love, bureaucracy and body language |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrWhen played for laughs, this works well, while the action scenes generate an atmosphere of paranoia and menace; but failing to explore the pathos of Nick's predicament, the film becomes an inflated lightweight comedy whose shortcomings are all too visible. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottUnfortunately, it is the spirit of adventure that is distinctly lacking in MEMOIRS OF AN INVISIBLE MAN, a dismayingly flat and predictable, special-effects-laden action thriller. |
