Synopsis
A simple, small-town garage mechanic suddenly develops extraordinary intelligence--including telekinetic powers and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge--which affects his life in unexpected ways. The government wants to investigate him, scientists want to study him, and the townspeople become afraid of him, to the point of ostracism. With the love and support of a young single mother, he is finally able to accept his lot in life.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful film, 14 Dec 2000
A very underrated film! The story has our main protagonist developing a genius IQ overnight and discovering that his lifelong friends grow to fear and distrust him as his IQ rapidly increases. As a sub issue, he also develops weak telekinetic abilities. Refreshingly, this ability is employed in such a way that it remains subservient to, and supports, the main thrust of the film, which is not about a man with telekinetic powers, but rather about a man who is struggling through the changes going on both within himself and around him.

It has humour, depth, and feeling. Wonderful performances all round from JT, RD, FW... I found the film immensely enjoyable and I have to say it's one of my favourites.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real tearjerker!, 17 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I'm not often driven to review movies -but I have to say here that this is one of my all time favourites (and I am very hard to please). The movie is, in my opinion, such a success because it relies on the power of understatement.

Some of the heart-rending scenes are such because they are so simply done! The story line sounded a little dodgy to me at first but you are quickly drawn into what becomes an emotional rollercoaster. It's the first movie I have seen in a long time that required a FULL BOX OF TISSUES!

Watch it and weep....you have been warned!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting and moving film, 17 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This is a film which intrigues from the start. Its got a great story with great characters and has a great feel too it.

John Travolta is excellent as ever, with admirable support from Robert Duval.

If you like John Travolta you'll like this film. If you don't you will still like this film.

It's a film which allows you to escape and enjoy another part of the world and another unexplained part of the world.

Enjoy

5.0 out of 5 stars A must see for everyone!
An absolutely wonderful film. John Travolta is, once again, fantastic. Very refreshing to see a film with no violence or sex but with a very heartwarming story. Lovely.
