Patch Adams

Pros: One might laugh at how bad it is.
Cons: Mawkish, silly, contrived, dull......you name it.

Where do I begin? With the story itself: an all-too-typical Robin Williams vehicle where he challenges an obvious societal wrong and in the end, finds redemption for us as well as himself? With the theme: playing a holier-than-thou saint with the gift of...

Pros: Great flick, very heart felt
Cons: not much to con on

I missed this film in the initial theater run. Again, it was one of those films I got so excited to see, but didn't remember to see it. Well, I wanted to rent a DVD one night and it was available.

The movie "Patch Adams" is based on a real...

Pros: sweet, funny
Cons: sad ending

I'm not one to go in for sappy movies, but "Patch Adams" is the exception I'm so glad I made!
The movie tells the true story of the seventies doctor of the same name who tries to cure his patients by making them laugh- a commendable...

Pros: the story, robin williams, the true doctor that is behind the film
Cons: some actors

When I saw the tape with this film, I didn't expect nothing special. Nothing more than another Robin William's film, another comedy, some laughs, but nothing more than that...

But I think that this film is different: it's about a doctor that...

Pros: Great
Cons: N/A

First, if you are a Robin Williams fan, Patch Adams is a must see. If not, it's still a great movie. Based a true story, about a doctor with a creative look on life. I wish there were more doctors like that.
O.k., the movie isn't all fun, there are...

Pros: A movie that should be seen by anyone thinking about a career in the medical field, or any field that has to do with person to person interactions.
Cons: This movie has some low spots where it takes a more serious look at life.

Robin Williams portrays a non traditional Medical School student, who is entering his freshman year in his mid thirties. As Patch Adams, he takes a more beneficial approach to what is being taught in the classroom. He takes the books and lectures...

Pros: Funny, Sweet, Sad at times, etc.
Cons: nothing

This movie is sooo great!!! At the beginning, he is going to a mental hospital and he meets a dude that's afraid of imaginary squirrels and he is afraid to go to the bathroom because he's afraid the squirrels will get him, and Patch helps him go to the...

Pros: True Life Story.
Cons: None.

This movie is about a man who had a vision a vison to help other people. It starts out when he committs himself to a mental hospital when he wants to kill himself but while there he gets in alot of trouble for making the other patients laugh. Their is...

Pros: A touching movie that gives a good example
Cons: Some rude language and surprising props (though it can still be as funny as Hades)

Robin Williams has done some great movies in his time, but I believe that is one of the better films. The film seems as though it were made for him, in reasons of that Williams can express his comedic side, but he can also show that there is a serious...

Pros: Everything - plot, characters, setting, mood...
Cons: It may cause men to cry

Mr. Hyper (Robin Williams, for those of you who may be less than quick to pick it up) calms down just enough to make this movie tearful and yet throws in enough of his usual comic punches to make it laughable. This one starts so calm that I almost...

Pros: It was funny, but completely true.
Cons: There's nothing I can possibly think of that could be wrong about this movie.

I've been a huge fan of Robin Williams' ever since he starred in "Good Morning Vietnam". Throughout his career, Williams has made comedy an art. He also manages to throw a little seriousness into the mix every now and then. When I heard that...

Pros: Funny, true story. Williams plays the part well.
Cons: <shrug> can't think of any

Here is the story of a doctor that was somewhat ahead of his time. Who would think that a former mental patient would be a doctor?

Henry “Patch” Adams did not like the way doctors treated him and other patients when he was a mental patient....

Pros: Laughter
Cons: Sad

I thought this movie was really touching. It was very funny, but it also was a very sad movie. I liked the way patch kept on trying even though everyone kept holding him back. Robin Williams has to be one of the funniest men alive. His...

Pros: Sad
Cons: Sad

This is a terrific movie it is a very sad movie but, Robin Williams does a spectacular job in being a student at medical school who is not only trying to help patients with cancer but he tries to help them with comedy. It is the sweetest thing that...

Pros: Very funny
Cons: Non

This was a very good movie. I watched it again today on tv for the third time and it was still a good movie. patch submits himself to a mental hospital where he finds that by helping other people he can forget his own problems and have a good life....
