Patch Adams is based on the life of the great Doctor Hunter Adams. But how does Robin Williams do as his portrayal of this incredible man. who had changed the way that all doctors had treated their patients and what he had gone through to be accepted as a full on doctor. With Patch Adams, Williams has made one of the worst films of his career and if you usually enjoy Robin Williams, you'll find that such a good comedian deserved a better picture to make and much better material to work with. If you enjoy Robin Williams like I do, you won't enjoy this failure because it illustrates a real lack of passion from a man who is usually very funny and is an icon of comedy that belongs up there with Richard Pryor and George Carlin.
The attempts at humor simply are a failing attempt at trying to make you laugh. This film just lacked anything to really keep you interested.
I really wanted to love the film, but I simply couldn't. Robin Williams has made better films than this, and lucky for him his legacy as a good comedic actor is secured due to films like Good Morning Vietnam and Mrs. The subject is quite interesting, and I think it's a shame that there couldn't be any better way of giving this story the treatment it really deserved. The film tried way too hard at being an emotional piece, and failed miserably because the film's ideas simply went nowhere. Right from the first ten minutes, you realize that this film was doomed to fail. Robin Williams who is an incredible comedic talent can't save this dreck due to a poorly written script. This film is an awful train wreck of a movie that has a cast of phenomenal talent that is simply wasted on such poor material. I really wanted to enjoy the film, but I simply couldn't. Patch Adams is one of those films that deserved to be a very entertaining film, but unfortunately failed to in every respect to deliver something satisfying for the viewer.
