Meet Patch Adams (Robin Williams), a doctor who doesn't look, act or think like any doctor you've met before. For Patch, humour is the best medicine, and he's willing to do just about anything to make his patients laugh, even if it means risking his own career. Based on a true story Patch Adams combines side-splitting humour with an inspiring story that transcends the traditional comedy.

A very moving and well made film. Patch Adams what a guy. Robin Williams plays the part so well. Based on a true story it is well worth the value of money. A tearful film to some degree, really does make you stop and think. (well it did for me). Enjoyable and emotional to the very end.
Terrible.....

Patch Adams is, in my opinion, the best film that the brilliant actor, Robin Williams, has ever done.
Everyone that I have recommended it to, have said the same.
It is directed by Tom Shadyac who also directed some of the films that starred the awful Jim (you've seen one, you've seen them all) Carrey, but don't be put off by this. This film is absolutely nothing like any of the abysmal Carrey films.
It is not an out and out comedy. It's more of a drama and based on a true story with a very high comedy content.
The story is about a Doctor who sets up an hospital for the poor.
It will have you in tears of laughter and tear of sadness.
As I said, don't confuse this excellent film with any Jim Carrey rubbish. This film is well worth owning to watch over and over again. I never get bored with it!
If you are ever stuck for a present to buy someone, buy them Patch Adams and you can't go wrong.
