“Patch Adams” – Patch Adams (Robin Williams) discovers the healing power of humor and shares it with patients, friends and stuffed-shirt deans. A heartfelt comedy from the formula Williams has perfected, it gets better with each passing scene and boasts a strong supporting cast. The overriding theme is something everyone can relate to: Rules and tradition will try to eliminate kindness, but someone with Patch’s spirit will never be held back.
