Robin Williams can be a funny actor and sometimes, he can be great in dramatic parts as well. Unfortunately, quite often, he can be downright obnoxious... In this flick, Williams plays once again one of this hysterical and annoying character. Furthermore, the story is actually interesting but the whole thing is so over-sentimental, it makes really difficult to enjoy the movie. You should check the... read more

We definitely need a few more doctors and nurses like Patch around the world. I absolutely adore this movie and it's cast. The message is sends to viewers sticks with them for a very long time. It just makes you wish there were more hospitals like this :]

Based on a true story, the movie Patch Adams is a remarkable movie touching almost all emotions defined. The movie is an adaptation from a book, an inspiring drama, comedy and a true story of a Virginia medical student, who breaks the shackles and stereotype in medical practice.

Robin Williams playing the role of Patch Adam rendered a classic performance. Punch line of his cause was t... read more

Nostalgia Critic's closing thoughts (40 movies items)

"People, this movie is disgusting. If you want to talk about the benefits of emotional interaction with your patients, fine. If you want to talk about new forms of practicing medicine and treating people, fine. But, DO IT AS A F*CKING ADULT! Not this childish, poorly written, non-factual bullsh*t! You know what you do? You know what? Don't watch the fictional, bad Patch Adams! Watch the real, factual Patch Adams. I've looked him up. His work is fascinating, and it goes beyond simply jumping aroun"

“Based on a true story, the movie Patch Adams is a remarkable movie touching almost all emotions defined. The movie is an adaptation from a book, an inspiring drama, comedy and a true story of a Virginia medical student, who breaks the shackles and stereotype in medical practice.

Robin Williams playing the role of Patch Adam rendered a classic performance. Punch line of his cause was that the doctors should not be indifferent, rather "A doctor's mission should be not just to prevent death but also to improve the quality of life of patients."

"Not just extremely annoying, but also extremely well-researched, as it happens. Robin Williams helped prepare for his role by spending months performing as a clown for sick children. We almost feel guilty we hate the movie."

50 Biggest Lies In Biopic History (50 movies items)

" The Untruth: Robin Williams plays Patch Adams a sweet and funny medical student who believes laughter is the best medicine. The Truth: Hunter ‘Patch’ Adams hated the film. Saying it made him look like nothing more than a funny doctor. Williams’s fans were also disappointed and have been unhappy with his career ever since."
