Quote:
Phenomenon is a 1996 romantic fantasy-drama film written by Gerald Di Pego, directed by Jon Turteltaub, and starring John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick, Forest Whitaker, and Robert Duvall.

In the film, an amiable, small-town everyman is inexplicably transformed into a genius with telekinetic powers. The original music score was composed by Thomas Newman. However, it included "I Have the Touch" by Peter Gabriel, and "Change the World" by Eric Clapton and Babyface. It was filmed in Auburn, Colfax, Davis, Sacramento, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, and Treasure Island, all in Northern California.

Travolta really shines here and the ending always brings me close to tears. Nice performances from Duvall and Sedgwick too. Like Amer said it has it's flaws but it's easy for me to overlook them because the movie is so enjoyable and heartwarming. A

Just watched this for the first time in many years. Travolta and Duvall are excellent in this movie. I appreciate this movie so much for how innocent and honest it is. You don't see that often anymore. The end is sad and makes you feel, but doesn't overdo it. A-

To make it even better, it also features the songs:

Everyday is a Winding Road - Sheryl Crow
Change the World - Eric Clapton
Have a Little Faith In Me - performed by Jewel
