K-PAX: Critic Reviews

A warm, fuzzy and funny duet between [Kevin] Spacey and [Jeff] Bridges.

The specter of Robin Williams looms large.

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.

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

K-Pax goes all too quickly k-put.

Terrific acting by Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.

This being a Hollywood movie, the realistic is soon left out on the curb as quickly as a Christmas tree on December 26, and as mournful-looking.

A nonsensical therapeutic melodrma about the shifting relationship between a mentally disturbed patient (badly acted by Spacey), who claims to be from another planet, and his problematic shrink (the reliable Jeff Bridges) who goes through menopause.

It tries to frighten us into doing the right thing by declaring that there is no grace, no forgiveness, and no escape from our lives once we are done living.

...a refreshingly uplifting story about the best of humanity.

Se Proft nao pode levar o corpo consigo, por que desapareceu por tres dias do hospicio? E como sabe tanto? E por que utilizou o corpo de Robert? E para que a subtrama envolvendo a familia do medico? E por que estou perdendo tempo com esse filme?

Bridges completely steals the show from the more lauded Spacey, who's simply on autopilot throughout.

Casting [Spacey and Bridges] against each other gives their scenes together a believability and intensity that comes directly out of their contrasting acting styles.

Kevin Spacey beams down another winner...

wants very badly to be liked and is willing to do just about anything to win your affection. This is the latest addition to the growing library of films that see mental illness not as a serious problem, but instead as a charming eccentricity.

As always, it takes an outsider--normally a dying woman or magical African-American --to convince the workaholic white guy he should spend more time with his family.

The most shameless psychological quackery to come out of Hollywood since Mumford.

Divertida, original y por momentos profundamente filosofica.

There is a great movie inside, burning to break free of the shackles of the writers

More life-affirming, blank-stare weirdness from Kevin Spacey.

Although the romantic notion of presenting an irreverent soul at the heart of this film feels like a savvy commentary on the fragile human condition, K-Pax gets lost in its gawky chattiness.

Promises so much but ultimately achieves too little.

Go with it ... and this good-looking movie is a moving and cathartic experience.

It professes to be good for viewers by kicking them below the knee, thereby testing their sensitivity reflexes.

El manejo de la luz, el tono de los reflejos y el uso de colores y su temperatura es muy correcto, la puesta en escena como tal vale el pago del boleto por completo...
