For those who have seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or Starman, K-Pax may not hold anything new. The movie works best as a showcase for Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.

The 1995 novel by Dr. Gene Brewer becomes this drama from director Iain Softley. After a mugging incident at New York's Grand Central Station, Prot (Kevin Spacey), a man who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX, is turned over to a public mental hospital and the care of Dr. Mark Powell (Jeff Bridges). When medication fails to alter Prot's insistence that he is visiting from another world on a fact-finding mission, Powell gets more involved with his patient, who seems to have a calming

A warm, fuzzy and funny duet between [Kevin] Spacey and [Jeff] Bridges.
K-Pax goes all too quickly k-put.
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.
The specter of Robin Williams looms large.
Ultimately, the movie may puzzle audiences more than entertain them.
Shows signs of intelligent life.
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 não pode levar o corpo consigo, por que desapareceu por três dias do hospício? E como sabe tanto? E por que utilizou o corpo de Robert? E para quê a subtrama envolvendo a família do médico? 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.
Whats right with this movie, is that its beautifully written, well acted, and very beautifully scripted and captured. I like the premise of the movie and although its slow going and your not really sure what happens at the end but you come to some conclusions.A nice enough movie but not fantastic!

A different sci-fi, w/o the waterfall of FX from Industrial Light and Magic, about a psychiatrist (Bridges) faced with a man (Spacey) claiming to be from outer space. It has its flaws, but I still enjoyed it and the questions it presents.
