It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is what the world should be like... an amazing presentaion of human expresion brought forward and focused on bonding with others, with what? a simple smile and a few moments of conversation - Not out for personal gain, merely to make others smile and make them feel sound in themselves. after all health is more important at the end of the day..." to make one smile" is Robins god given gift and with his warm heart he has concocted an ideal man/person we should all try to become... forget fancy cars, posh night out eatings etc... take a few moments to look a round and try to get to know the people beside you, to bond for a few moments can make those around you feel welcome and magically warm and healthy inside..." Patch Adams is a gem in any film collection, it's funny, sad, truthful and a great film. There are twists and turns when everything seems simple and on the right track, and at parts when disaster strikes it can't help but bring tears to your eyes. Patch Adams is a beautiful film, well made, well written and all the actors perform to perfection especially Robin Williams who will make his way into your heart.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

I like the movie very much. It's really fascinating to watch a guy (doctor) who works really hard to entertain the patients. I like the way Patch's hard work, towards the people, how he made them laugh, even though they looked hopeless and was tired of everything. I like his thoughts and the way he believes towards the healing power of laughter. Patch knows exactly how to handle the patient. He knows, medicine is not only the method to get ride of illness. He knows the value of laugh. He makes fun of everything. But he knows how to make people laugh and also to be serious when it to be. It was really heart touching when Patch jumped, screamed and rolled around and made those innocent children laugh in the children's ward. Climax is super, where Patch gets be who he really wanted to become and children got theirs wanted entertainer doctor. It's good to know that Hollywood still can produce awesome movie with no sex and violence. This gave me an idea about how to get closed to patients instead of diseases. Patch's way of getting closed to patients is just genius. That's what Patch does in the movie, where he actually made patients laugh so easily and when that was not possible, he used another method for it and made them smile or laugh anyhow. After watching this movie, I get a clew about, what can I do, when I once come out in to this real world and work with people in upcoming days. I give 8 out of 10 stars.

Patch Adams I really liked the movie, it's showing how important it is to do what you believe in. The importance of believing in your self. Sometimes you need to do what others don't believe in, to proof them wrong. And that's what this movie is all about. Do what is right for you as long as it does something good for others to. But it is also showing that the right thing, is not always the happy safe thing to do, because the main character falls in love with a woman from the school, and just when things gets really good between these two, something bad happens to her. It makes him leave the place he built up, because for a moment he can't see how this place can be right and good anymore. I love how the movie shows the effect of a hospital clown, how much happiness it brings to both children and adults! What it takes to help people, that it's more than just the right medication and getting healthy without fever. It's also the mental part, connecting with these people by talking to them, listening to them and show them you really care about them, and not just the physical problems. What this man did for our health care system is magnificent! He changed the way we saw the sick people, and how we need to help them, how happiness can heal a sick person, and make them motivated for changing their lifes. I just really think it's a good movie, you will get a good idea of what has happened in our health care systems, and how the nurses and doctors looked at patience before, and what's changed and how it's changed now. The main character is Robin Williams, and he plays the character so well.
