All rights reserved.Patch Adams (1999, DVD)
| Movie Description Tom Shadyac's (ACE VENTURA) film tells the true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams), an aspiring doctor in the 1970's who attempted to treat his patients with a medicine that modern science had totally disregarded: humor. After a stint in a mental hospital where he discovers his need to help others, a young Patch enters medical school. There he develops his own methods of reaching patients as an antidote to the the pomposity he witnesses in his instructors and fellow students. While his patients and fellow staff members appreciate his approach, the powers-that-be frown upon his "unschooled" methods and attempt to prevent him from practicing. Philip Seymour Hoffman (MAGNOLIA) and Monica Potter (ALONG CAME A SPIDER) co-star in this crowd pleaser based on a book by Adams.

Top Reviews  Patch Adams 4 of 6 people found this review helpful. Wouldn't it be awesome if more doctors cared about their patients like Patch does. It's refreshing to know this movie was based off of a true story. Robin Williams is both funny and serious in this movie. A definite must see. Review ID: 10000000002121383 Was this review helpful?
