Phenomenon

Actor John Travolta stars in the movie Phenomenon, which is a surprisingly straight forward story about the not so straight forward plot where on his birthday, mechanic George Malley experiences a flash of light that gives him superhuman and genius mental abilities - completely unexplained! Without giving spoilers, the movie is definitely heartfelt and takes an emotional turn for Travolta's character.

This film is actually one of the best of that year. If you want to know what budding young relationships look like in America these days, this is the most pleasurable tutorial you'll ever see.

First, I'll admit I'm biased because I am not a fan of John Travolta, but even looking past that, this is by no means a great film. It is very simplistic and sort of science-fictioney but not in a good way. There are moments of realization in the movie but overall it is very dull.
