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

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

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

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 ...
