Blue T @NK2011 Mar 17 The critics are trippin' there's nothing bad about this movie See more CadeandKit R @CadeandKit Jan 6 Cade's all-time comfort pick: Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams. Cade frames it as the ultimate "chicken noodle soup for the soul" movie... funny, emotional, a little scary in places, and anchored by a big-hearted message about caring for people. Kit goes in excited (Robin Williams + feel-good premise), but ends up having a very different reaction to how the film executes its themes. Their biggest split comes from Patch’s approach to the love story and his "unorthodox" hospital interactions. Cade reads Patch’s persistence as sweet, romantic, and sincere balloons, studying together, slowly winning her over. Kit reads it as a problem: the love interest clearly establishes boundaries early, and Patch continues anyway, which makes her recoil from the romance rather than root for it.

Patients aren't just their disease or condition. They have thoughts and feelings, their humour is still there, maybe hiding deep but it's there. The movie is a feel good movie and yes the acting may be syrupy, but it's still a good movie.

This movie has a sweet center and is anchored by the great Robin Williams. The movie does feel a bit emotionally manipulative, and sometimes it is very sappy, but it is good-natured with a positive message. I felt the movie was way more entertaining in the beginning portions; in the second half, it started to become a bit more tedious to watch. I do think sometimes the movie just wants to elicit emotions out of the audience, and it forgets about things like nuance and pacing. Overall, it is a messy journey, but the movie is ultimately a positive experience because of its good intentions and a great performance from Robin Williams.

This movie reminds us that movies have the ability to change the world and save lives. See more Gail G. @gguyon3 Aug 30 Very entertaining & heartfelt See more Read all reviews
