Summary: Robin is superb!
Review: Robin Williams made me laugh and cry throughout the film and I came out enlightened and ready to face life's challenges with an open heart and mind. Monica Potter is refreshing to watch and when her character died, I felt like I will explode with sadness. After watching this film, I appreciated butterflies more than I did before. I pray that there'll be more Dr. "Patch" Adams in the whole world to care for the sick and dying patients.

Summary: Talk about Leadership?
Review: For anyone who wants lessons in Leadership, here it is! This film is chock full of leadership principles. It is amazing how we do the same thing day after day after day and expect different results. Patch Adams breaks the mold and shows courage to challenge everyday practices and think "outside the box".

Summary: Another excellent Williams film: innovator meets obstacles
Review: I bought the DVD version. The film brought many tears to my eyes and laughter to my heart. Robin Williams is an acting maestro (sp)."Awakenings" was of the same heart-touching genre. I will see it again. The only problem with re-veiwing is the incident of personal tragedy that occurs in the story. I have already spoken to at least 15 people about my enjoyment of the film and I only saw it yesterday for the first time. The Doctor has it right: It's PEOPLE that matter! PS I paid more for the DVD than Amazon was selling it for. I won't make THAT mistake again!

Summary: A great film-proving that "laughter is the best medicine."
Review: Patch Adams was a compelling personal account of a doctor who combined humor and compassion to bring to light another side of an otherwise objective profession. He gave patients a way to cope with being in a fearful position by redirecting their thoughts to more pleasant circumstances.In the movie which was an actual account of a doctors need to break with the objective standard of practicing medicine overly seriously and gave his patients another way to look at their illnesses-terminal or otherwise. He brought humor and a personal touch to each of his patients. He made it a practice to know something about the psyche or personality of his patients so he could "tap-into" what would make an otherwise agrieved sickness a liveable situation through humor. He broke with tradition and was considered by his supervisors and peers to be silly, not very smart, and too much of a jokester to be in the medical profession. Patch Adams stayed true to what he thought was an effective way to deal with and best serve the paients under his care and refused to be held to the iron-grip and staid manner of the profession. He refused to believe that he had to be objective and more or less indifferent to the "emotional" as well as the "physical" needs of his patients. Thereby he proved to his superiors and peers through the results of employing humor and compassion that "laughter is the best medicine."

Summary: dosen't deserve the attention
Review: This is one of those "true" movies. TRUE, well for what the director recall. It's one of thoose movies where poeple feel obligated to like -- because it's "eal"and "ow-key"-- but, honestly, it's just badly written, without any imagination . . . it's only a vehicule for William. and i'm not even talking about the ending...what a farce. bad acting with low emotion...
