Both consoling and confounding.

As impressive as Kevin Spacey ordinarily is, this isn't the best vehicle for his considerable talents.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
In short, this movie is exactly the kind of starry-eyed escapist fantasy that Dr. Powell suspects Prot of having. It's harmless enough, since we can be cured just by leaving the theater.

When Kevin Spacey takes center stage, our planet really does seem bright.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
A pleasant enough entertainment raised above its station by the quality of its acting.

Just pass on K-PAX.

Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
I rather like the whole mystic- crystal-revelations aspect of K-PAX, and the idea that even a psychiatrist of Jeff Bridges' handsome, American substantiality is open to notions of cosmic improbability.

Baltimore Sun by Michael Sragow
The casting in K-PAX is canny, but the picture as a whole is a clunky mix of the canny and the would-be uncanny.

Miami Herald by Rene Rodriguez
It's all very "Cuckoo's Nest," but in a glib, facile way, and it leaves K-PAX adrift in its fuzzy, New-Agey orbit.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by William Arnold
The movie itself is not completely successful, but it's consistently both engrossing and entertaining, and -- once again -- Spacey's performance creates a spell that lingers long after the lights come back on.
