Plot Summary
Two-time Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey and Academy Award® nominee Jeff Bridges star in this spellbinding, often humorous story of a mysterious stranger who defies convention, puzzles the experts and leaves everyone searching for the truth. A stranger who calls himself Prot (Spacey) seemingly appears out of nowhere following a disturbance at New York's Grand Central Station. Claiming to come from the distant planet K-PAX, Prot draws the attention of jaded Dr. Powell (Bridges), whose initial skepticism soon turns to fascination and amazement. Even a team of leading scientists are at a loss to explain Prot's detailed knowledge of the star system he calls home. But with Prot's return to K-PAX fast approaching, the search for answers intensifies and the mystery takes on pulse-quickening proportions. Featuring unforgettable performances and surprising turns, it's a thrilling story that "Keeps you guessing right to the end!" (ABC Radio)

Rotten: K-Pax goes all too quickly k-put.
Rotten: A queasy amalgamation of Awakenings, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Starman.
Fresh: Spacey rings all the right emotional bells as well, and could probably score another Oscar for playing Prot.
Fresh: A warm, fuzzy and funny duet between [Kevin] Spacey and [Jeff] Bridges.

Yes this is an awesome movie.
I do agree. But you don't need to buy it twice. If you have your own DVD's just put them on your iPod. Go to: http://handbrake.fr/ It is awesome!

Every once in a while comes a movie that reaches out to your skeptical, cynical side. And you say to yourself "what a cute 'far-fetched" movie." Then you find yourself pulled by some outer-world gravity to a place where science fiction exists.... this is a well-acted, well-directed, beautiful movie... but only if you like to believe in things beyond what may be in actuality.... but is it really? You must decide for yourself!
