Only inspires me to steer clear of both hospitals and any movie that casts Robin Williams as a lovable clown.

Patch Adams does serve as a platform for Williams to do what he does best: evoke laughter and wring tears. Even when the movie flatlines, Williams keeps the beat.

Patch Adams is full of shit. I truly can't think of a better way to describe it.

Patch Adams is offensive in the way it trots out every hoary plot device, no matter how improbable, exploitative or downright moronic.
