Patch Adams

This is about a medical student in the 70's that treated patients, illegally, using the non-traditional method of humor. It was good, but I don't know... it missed that extra 'umph' needed to make it a really great movie.

Robin Williams .... Hunter 'Patch' Adams
Daniel London .... Truman Schiff
Monica Potter .... Carin Fisher

Adams Patch

I wasn't particularly impressed by this movie, mostly because I am not a big fan of Robin Williams. His portrayal of any kind of doctor, traditional or not, was not very convincing to me. 1

It was a good movie. I enjoy Robin Williams's work a lot. He is a great actor in my opinion. In this particular movie I think he kind of exaggerate the role of the doctor (based on the real story) but again it is Hollywood! that's what they are supposed to do.

My rating: 2
