"Phenomenon" is about a small town auto mechanic (Travolta) who experiences something he can only describe as being "a light" and suddenly has peculiar powers such as being able to learn to speak Portuguese in 20 minutes or understanding Dianetics. At issue is, will these powers, which make him the object of fear and awe by the townsfolk, help of hurt his chances with his reluctant love interest (Sedgwick).
This movie was ok, sort of an off kilter chick flick that Travolta fans will probably enjoy, but its not one that I go out of my way to see.
