Great Movie submitted by 0302johnson on August 10, 2011, 8:34am This movie is great for the family to watch. Robin Williams becomes a childrens doctor who treats critical patients and tries to brighten thier day

great movie submitted by jszchen on August 22, 2011, 8:58pm Excellent drama both sad and funny

Interesting submitted by crazypockets on July 24, 2013, 12:44pm This movie is so great because of the questions it raises about how the medical profession views patients. In a country where medicine is more about insurance and cold clinical treatment, it's nice to see a different take where a doctor relates to his patients in all ways, not just medical. It points out that laughter really is the best medicine, or at least it really helps a lot. And you can't help but cheer when Patch Adams overcomes his own extreme hardships (warning, tearjerker moment!!) to take on the system.

Sad submitted by Kaydence paige on August 16, 2014, 7:15pm This movie made me cry on more than one occasion. This is probably one of my all time robin Williams movies!
