K-PAX Reviews
Terrific acting by Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006
Casting [Spacey and Bridges] against each other gives their scenes together a believability and intensity that comes directly out of their contrasting acting styles.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 7, 2003
The most shameless psychological quackery to come out of Hollywood since Mumford.
| Original Score: D | May 9, 2002
Go with it ... and this good-looking movie is a moving and cathartic experience.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2002
A warm, fuzzy and funny duet between [Kevin] Spacey and [Jeff] Bridges.

K-Pax goes all too quickly k-put.

As a brainless laugh riot, it's as funny as a flu epidemic. As a drama, it's an unintentional Robin Williams vehicle sour beyond its shelf life.

The specter of Robin Williams looms large.

Ultimately, the movie may puzzle audiences more than entertain them.

Seems somehow unfocused and meandering.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 28, 2001
As a pop parable of heavenly reassurance and redemption, Ian Softley's K-PAX is probably the kind of entertainment the movie industry refers to when it promises gentler, feel-good fare in light of current anxieties.

A queasy amalgamation of Awakenings, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Starman.

Flawed script turns well-acted K-PAX into a near miss.
| Oct 26, 2001
Spacey rings all the right emotional bells as well, and could probably score another Oscar for playing Prot.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 26, 2001
A syrupy melange of psychobabble and extraterrestrial mystery, offering further proof that planet Hollywood is made of cheese, with lots of holes.

K-PAX virtually becomes a two-character film -- a mighty talky one with an utterly banal ending.

It's pure pleasure to witness Kevin Spacey commanding the screen, and Jeff Bridges ain't exactly a rank amateur.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 26, 2001
Its conflict is so understated, and takes so long to engage us, that the film is as flat as a stretch of Interstate 70 east of Denver.

I admired how the movie tantalized us with possibilities...
