Leave your thoughts about Patch Adams.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackA perfect vehicle for Robin Williams. He again plays the compassionate, manic clown that has been his main character throughout his movie career. And audiences love his wild end runs. |
| NUVO NewsweeklyEdward Johnson-OttThe whole thing plays like a really long Robin Williams' talk show appearance with a plot slapped on. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroAlmost every scene triggers a sense of deja vu! |
| VarietyJoe LeydonShamelessly sappy and emotionally manipulative, Patch Adams is an aggressively heartwarming comedy-drama that may be roasted by critics but embraced by ticketbuyers. |
| EmpireDarren BignellSo the prognosis is generally positive, though there may be a touch too much sugar in this motion picture panacea, which is, in places, shamelessly sentimental to an extraordinarily manipulative degree. |
| L.A. WeeklyF. X. FeeneyWilliams is a great clown, and Oedekirk and Shadyac give him room to really cut loose, and cure the movie. That’s as it should be. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsAn overdose of sentimental claptrap, underscored by Marc Shaiman's clichéd string arrangements. |
| Radio TimesAngie ErrigoThe pat manipulation of emotions comes with a dangerously high level of saccharin. But anyone who's ever felt aggrieved by impersonal treatment from the medical establishment will enjoy Williams's system-bucking antics. |
| Film.comTom KeoghA perfectly fine, play-it-safe vehicle for Robin Williams that showcases both his great gift for improvisational comedy and his ability to make a heartfelt connection. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsWilliams tries his best with the lines he's given, but they make up a sermon that we and every other character is simply bludgeoned with. |
