by pmills1210  in Movies,  - Top 500, Nov 23 '01
Pros: Spacey and Bridges do fine
Cons: Very unoriginal and slow
There’s no mystery to the mysterious traveler in the movie, “K-PAX.” It’s written like it’s a mystery, but anybody with half the IQ of Forrest Gump could see what was coming two hours before the movie reached its inevitable conclusion. Kevin Spacey...

Pros: Intriguing premise
Cons: Highly derivative of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" & "Awakenings"...cynics will loathe it.
Prot (Kevin Spacey) is a curious fellow. Arriving, it would seem, on a dazzling beam of light, he emerges in the midst of a crowd in Grand Central Station, claiming he's from the planet K-PAX and eager to sample our fruit, particularly Red...

Pros: Excellent acting, interesting direction and camera work
Cons: Film is pretty predictable, ending is a bit of a cop out
Kevin Spacey is, in my opinion, probably the best damn actor around at this point. If you take a look at all the roles he has taken on recently, and even not so recently, you will see that he has to be one of the best, most versatile actors in the...

Pros: Acting, Music, Scenes near the end
Cons: Inconsistency, Lack of connection with peripheral characters
Wow! This is the second time this month that I have had the privilege of attending a theatrical sneak preview of a soon-to-be-released movie. And, for the second time, I am reviewing it here on Epinions for everyone to enjoy. I like these previews,...

Pros: Spacey and Bridges make a great combination therefore making a great film
Cons: None
One either buys into the idea of a mental patient actually being from another planet, or they write it off as unoriginal fop. They either analyze the project to pieces, or they enjoy the magical prospects presented to them.
I would encourage...

by remnjava - Top 500, Dec 21 '01
Pros: Kevin Spacey's and Jeff Bridges performances.
Cons: Unanswered questions
Ever seen a spaceman? Would you know it if you saw one? How? What would differentiate him from your coworker or next door neighbor? His knowledge? His/her demeanor? Eating habits?
Well, unlike other reviewers out there, my husband and I...

Pros: Jeff Bridges.
Cons: Everything else--including Kevin Spacey.
Kevin Spacey is quickly forming a rather unfortunate tradition. Every October, it seems, it’s his goal to release a cheeseball Oscar hopeful that will ultimately be laughed-out of The Oscar Buzz Room. Last year is was the schmaltz-fest Pay It...

by SimonCook , May 13 '02
Pros: Some very good acting. A good and intriguing plot.
Cons: A little slow at times. Leaves too much open at the end.
Over the last few years several movies have been released to make you go ‘Hmmmm’. Two of the best were Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis and American Beauty starring Kevin Spacey. Both were released to critical acclaim and both had intriguing plots and...

Pros: Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, and the Red Glasses
Cons: The Sub-Plots
K-PAX is a gimmick flick. The film floats on the audience’s suspense of whether Kevin Spacey’s character, Prot (pronounced Proat, as in “oat”), is an extra-terrestrial or nut. So, IS Prot an alien? Of course, I’m not telling.

by stephenryan , Nov 25 '01
Pros: Kevin Spacey and an interesting premise.
Cons: Definitely qualifies as a feel-good movie.
...is definitely a true lede for a movie like K-PAX. Based on Gene Brewer's novel that seems to have been read by no one, K-PAX tells the story of a man (who we later find out to be Prot, played by Kevin Spacey) who claims to be an extra-terrestrial....

Pros: Spacey and Bridges, direction
Cons: Everything else
Life on other worlds, extraterresial being from other planets and such has been pondered in the existence of life. Are we alone in the universe? I don’t think so but is common question that we have that may or not be answer. Some ideas may include race...

Pros: Acting isn't too bad.
Cons: Sappy, boring, cornball.
The K-PAX of the eponymous film is, contrary to its sound, neither a television nor radio station. It's the distant planet from which a New York mental patient known only as Prot (Kevin Spacey) claims to be visiting. A two-time Oscar winner...

Pros: Spacey's performance, a feel-good attitude, an open-ended conclusion
Cons: Too many theatrical and dramatic creations
I ain't happy
I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
There is a speech at the end (as there must be at the end of most recent efforts involving Kevin Spacey)...

by Beawriter , Nov 06 '01
Pros: Good performances by Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey
Cons: Should have tied up loose ends.
Alfre Woodward is a fine actress who is in the movie, but has only a rather small part. She is wasted. The movie really stars Jeff Bridges as the doctor, and Prot as the patient who thinks he is from the planet K-Pax. The story revolves around their...

Pros: The entire cast, especially Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges
Cons: None
It is beginning to look like cinema has entered the Era of Kevin Spacey. It seems as if every decent, interesting, talked about film of the last, oh, six or seven years has either starred or co-starred this extraordinary actor. He rarely picks a bad...
