***1/2

This is a pretty good movie that suffers from bad marketing IMO. Overall I really liked the movie but if you look at the packaging and promoting, one would think that K-PAX would not turn into the movie it was.

Kevin Spacey is good but I was more interested in Jeff Bridges. I am fascinated now that Jeff Bridges has won and Oscar and looking back at his older roles he is an interesting actor to watch.

K-PAX did well at the box office but not great considering the budget. I think this has to do with word-of-mouth and the marketing. Looking at the poster and box cover, I expected a movie that ends another way, the ending is also the movies weakest part. If Spacey would of disappeared at the end, maybe through a window and be nowhere to be found, I would of accepted the conclusion a little more. I know he wasn't from another planet but for most of the movie I thought he might possibly be.

Overall a good movie with a less that ideal ending.
