REVIEWS

Review by banion48 (posted on 4-Apr-2005)

Although a bit slow and utterly existential at times K-PAX is the story of a psychologist, played by Bridges, trying to disprove that one of his patients is in fact an extraterrestrial from the planet KPAX. Prot (Spacey) is a mild mannered, intelligent, slightly presumptuous alien who befriends and overruns the ward of the mental institution he is occupying and convinces patients and employees alike that he is indeed a KPAXian. Bridges, a calloused, work-driven man, is changed over the course of the movie by this interesting new addition to his ward and at the end gains some insights into the point of life. Nice film if you're a Spacey fan, but otherwise one might be disappointed or bored.
