Patch Adams is vastbesloten dokter te worden omdat hij mensen wil helpen. Adams wil bewijzen dat humor en lachen een heel goed medicijn kunnen zijn voor velen. Helaas is de medische gemeenschap het niet met hem eens en wordt Adams aan alle kanten tegengewerkt. (United International Pictures)
Recensie (2)
Sometimes deeply moving and at others too brutally manipulative. The lighthearted mood suited me fully until about two-thirds of the way through, and even though I knew that if it had kept it up until the end, Patch Adams wouldn't have had a memorable conclusion to rely on, I still would have liked that more than the painful and unexpected twist. Because of it, I probably wouldn't watch this movie again. If you want to cry like I did, you can't miss it.

Even though it's quite sentimental at times, I just enjoyed this. Robin Williams demonstrates that he can beautifully blend the comedic and dramatic aspects, and in his case, it simply works perfectly. Yes, at times it’s overly sentimental, sometimes unnecessarily unbelievable, but also a beautiful story about a man who just wanted to help.
