If K-PAX's conclusion is a bit too glib, too pat for what it's trying to do, it's an honorable attempt to create a thoughtful entertainment, and it's got the kind of acting worth visiting from another planet to experience. ...read the complete K-PAX movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)

The supporting characters (including Alfre Woodard as another psychiatrist) are so sketchily drawn that the disappointing "K-PAX" virtually becomes a two-character film - a mighty talky one with an utterly banal ending.

The K-PAX of the eponymous film is, contrary to its sound, neither a television nor radio station.
