Patch Adams raises two schools of thought: There are those who are inspired by the true story of a troubled man who finds happiness in helping others--a man set on changing the world and who may well accomplish the task. And then there are those who feel manipulated by this feel-good story, who want to smack the young medical student every time he begins his silly antics.

Staving off suicidal thoughts, Hunter Adams commits himself into a psychiatric ward, where he not only garners the nickname "Patch," but learns the joy in helping others. To this end, he decides to go to medical school, where he clashes with the staid conventions of the establishment as he attempts to inject humor and humanity into his treatment of the patients ("We need to start treating the patient as well as the disease," he declares throughout the film). Robin Williams, in the title role, is as charming as ever, although someone should tell him to broaden his range--the ever-cheerful do-gooder à la Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society is getting a little old. His sidekick Truman (Daniel London) steals the show with his gawky allure and eyebrows that threaten to overtake his lean face--he seems more real, which is odd considering that Patch Adams does exist and this film is based on his life. Monica Potter is the coolly reluctant love interest, and she makes the most of her one-dimensional part. While moments of true heartfelt emotion do come through, the major flaw of this film is that the good guys are just so gosh-darn good and the bad ones are just big meanies with no character development. Patch Adams, though, does provide the tears, the giggles, and the kooky folks who will keep you smiling at the end. --Jenny Brown

5 out of 5 stars Robin Williams Shows He can Act! .......2007-06-04

The movie has a great story and message - then add to that the all-around acting talent of Robin Williams and you have got a great telling of true story. It is entertaining and inspiring!

I serve on a a board for a non-profit organization that is trying to help today's veterans with PTSD - and Patch Adams is also on that advisory board with me. He continues to care and continues to give service. The man is for real.

5 out of 5 stars Patch Adams Review.......2007-03-23

Robin Williams is amazing in this role. We just don't realize his talent as an actor. I just loved the movie.

5 out of 5 stars Patch Adams.......2007-03-10

Super movie. Great inspirational to all health care providers. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars A Must See Movie.......2007-02-16

Robin Williams is his zany, crazy self in the 1998 movie Patch Adams. The movie is based on the life of Hunter "Patch" Adams and the book Gesundheit. Patch Adams played by Robert Williams is a medical student at Virginia Medical University where he takes an unconventional approach to medicine. Patch Adams shows us that humor is really the best medicine. Robin Williams and co stars Daniel London, and Monica Potter all give wonderful performances in Patch Adams. This is absolutely a must see Movie for both young and old! For those curious to know the poem that Patch recites to Corinne (Played by Monica Potter) throughout the movie is entitled "I Do Not Love You" and was written by Pablo Neruda a Chilean poet, and diplomat, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.

4 out of 5 stars not my kind of movie, but..........2007-01-28

This film was one of those, that when it starts you think "Oh no, here we go, it's a serious film, and I thought, with Robin Williams in it, it was going to be light-hearted". Well, that's exactly what it is! Robin portrays Patch Adams as a caring and sensitive person, who, quite by accident, finds his purpose in life, and quite literally, nothing will stand in his way.

Although there is a romance, it is handled very delicately, and as a result does not become to involved with the whole point of the story, which is to improve the treatment of sick people. This is definitely a "feel good" film as when it is over, you find yourself smiling and wishing you knew someone with the tenacity to enjoy life as much as Patch Adams, obviously does.

I recommend this as a good way to find out what Robin Williams is capable of, even if you're not a fan (just rent it and decide for yourself)

Patch Adams raises two schools of thought: There are those who are inspired by the true story of a troubled man who finds happiness in helping others--a man set on changing the world and who may well accomplish the task. And then there are those who feel manipulated by this feel-good story, who want to smack the young medical student every time he begins his silly antics.

Staving off suicidal thoughts, Hunter Adams commits himself into a psychiatric ward, where he not only garners the nickname "Patch," but learns the joy in helping others. To this end, he decides to go to medical school, where he clashes with the staid conventions of the establishment as he attempts to inject humor and humanity into his treatment of the patients ("We need to start treating the patient as well as the disease," he declares throughout the film). Robin Williams, in the title role, is as charming as ever, although someone should tell him to broaden his range--the ever-cheerful do-gooder à la Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society is getting a little old. His sidekick Truman (Daniel London) steals the show with his gawky allure and eyebrows that threaten to overtake his lean face--he seems more real, which is odd considering that Patch Adams does exist and this film is based on his life. Monica Potter is the coolly reluctant love interest, and she makes the most of her one-dimensional part. While moments of true heartfelt emotion do come through, the major flaw of this film is that the good guys are just so gosh-darn good and the bad ones are just big meanies with no character development. Patch Adams, though, does provide the tears, the giggles, and the kooky folks who will keep you smiling at the end. --Jenny Brown

5 out of 5 stars Robin Williams Shows He can Act! .......2007-06-04

The movie has a great story and message - then add to that the all-around acting talent of Robin Williams and you have got a great telling of true story. It is entertaining and inspiring!

I serve on a a board for a non-profit organization that is trying to help today's veterans with PTSD - and Patch Adams is also on that advisory board with me. He continues to care and continues to give service. The man is for real.

5 out of 5 stars Only seen Happy Gilmore so far.......2001-01-16

Happy Gilmore is an awesome, laugh out loud movie, and I have seen Patch Adams, and remember it being a great movie, so for the price offered you're getting two good movies

4 out of 5 stars Happy Gilmore is Great, Patch Adams isn't.......2000-12-27

My advice for anyone who wants to buy this two dvd set is to keep Happy Gilmore, one of the funniest movies ever made, and sell Patch Adams on Ebay. Happy would be five stars, but I had to take one away for having Patch Adams in the dvd set.
