K-Pax goes all too quickly k-put.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
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.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
The specter of Robin Williams looms large.
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
Rotten
Ultimately, the movie may puzzle audiences more than entertain them.
