Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Flawed story, but compelling story does hook one.
Kansas City Kansan
Travolta is terrific! And in a movie season dominated by brainless action flicks and big explosions, Phenomenon is something magically different.

For a movie that's ostensibly about intelligence, Phenomenon proves to be rather simple-minded.

Bittersweet.
Movie Mom
...This is a good role for Travolta, who has an underlying sweetness and enthusiasm that is well-used here...
Chicago Sun-Times

Product Description:
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.
