Phenomenon Reviews
Common Sense Media
Charles Cassady
Gentle tearjerker about sudden mental superpowers.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is a good role for Travolta, who has an underlying sweetness and enthusiasm that is well used here.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
Works best if you can switch off your brain. Those who can will reach weepy nirvana. Those who can't will find this sticky-sweet wallow a bit, well, dumb.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
Pretty lame Scientology type stuff.
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
For a movie that's ostensibly about intelligence, Phenomenon proves to be rather simple-minded.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Flawed story, but compelling story does hook one.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Bittersweet.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Forrest Hartman
Touching supernatural thriller that works thanks to compelling performances from its stars.
CNN.com
Carol Buckland
Travolta is terrific! And in a movie season dominated by brainless action flicks and big explosions, Phenomenon is something magically different.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Moribund, dopey stuff.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
