“Was ist der Sinn des Lebens?” scheint uns dieser Film fragen zu wollen. In diesem Film wird ein (Unter-)durchschittsamerikaner durch ein mysteriöses Ereignis zu einem hochintelligenten Mann – mit allen positiven aber auch negativen Konsequenzen. Jon Turteltaub, bekannt durch “Während Du Schliefst” erzählt uns die Entwicklung eines Automechanikers zum superschlauen Mann für alle Probleme – und noch weiter. (Verleiher-Text)

The topic is indeed interesting, comprehensive – we find out the cause of Travolta's psychological change – but that mysterious “enlightenment” that happens by chance under the moonlight didn’t sit sit well with me. Otherwise, it's a touching and intelligent film for easygoing moments, and even for normal moments, which it will make easygoing without any problem. Towards the end, it gets a little sentimental, but it can be endured. Travolta’s performance is excellent, and his character is so vivid that instead of shaking your head and not believing your own eyes, you swallow the love story with line, hook and sinker. Kyra Sedgwick's very rough voice also has its merits, as a rough country girl in the context of the place where the film is set, is much more attractive than many of her more beautiful and more polished colleagues.
