REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 25-Mar-2005)

I've seen Patch Adams a few times. It is rare that I will watch a movie over again, but this one merits it. I think this is one of Robin Williams finest works.

He displays empathy in a dramtic, but still comic way. The movie is good for anyone going into the helping profession. He portrays some one with a mental diagnosis who can still offer a great deal to society.

Their are many people who can heal from mental illness and learn from their experiences.
