Ridiculously interesting

K-Pax is an intriguing film casting two amazing co-stars, but the story wears out as it drags on to its anticipated ending.... Full review
A very soft movie

This movie is boring, it does not mean much, and I prefer to not see it more than once. This movie is talk, talk, talk. There were just about no photo or pictures of K-Pax. This movie is just boring and... Full review
Very Strange

This is one of the stranger movies I've seen. It offered a lot of alien and sci-fi stuff, which is not my cup of tea. I was expecting to see a lot more psychological stuff, but I did not receive that.... Full review

K-Pax is a brilliant little film that asks big questions,, questions about life about thought and about the universe. Its most prominant question is on how we see stuff and if it has anything to do with how we think, or... Full review

Overall this is not a terrible movie, it just drags in a few parts. I enjoy the story line and the acting by Spacey is phenomenal, but is feels like it is missing something. They should have included more interactions between... Full review

When I saw the trailer I thought this was going to be a good film. Instead, what I got was an international sleepfest. If seeing bring a pillow. SKIP IT!... Full review
Top Notch

Very interesting story line with top rate acting, ESPECIALLY Spacey in a very complicated role. In the end, what actually happened is somewhat ambiguous, but that's one of the things I really liked about this. Also, though it moves slowly at... Full review

Obviously, Spacey decided to make the logical rebound film and play.......While it's not exactly one for the record books, K-PAX's gross squeaked past its $48 million budget to $50.3 million..... ... Full Review

It is not because anything he says makes K-Pax especially appealing -....The subtlety and grace of his performance are astonishing.....Mark is not the only one enthralled by Prot's stories of his home planet, K-Pax.....Parents should know that the movie has brief strong language, social drinking.... ...

Based on a novel by Gene Brewer, K-PAX works best as an adult drama of self-discovery, blessed by the talents of costars Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey..... ... Full Review

If you like comedy, don't miss K-PAX .....When Powell's wife tells Port he doesn't know what he's missing (she's talking about family), K-PAX later browbeats the irony of the moment with ghoulish precision.....K-PAX is tailor-made for the K-Mart sect, a feel-good paperback melodrama with no cinematic sophistication or respect for subtlety;....Worthy of a Razzie (read: Oscar), Spacey's ridiculous performance is all stupid-faced godliness.....Soon after the film's loony tunes inexplicably celebrate the presen ...

that ambiguity is one of the movie's better points.....Veteran cinematographer John Mathieson ("Hannibal," "Gladiator") captures some evocative visuals, playing freely with reflection and refraction as light is Prot's medium of transportation..... ... Full Review
