Entertaining film about medical student Patch Adams, played by Robin Williams, who goes against his school's beliefs that the best doctor/patient isn't personal and humor is not the best medicine. This film exhibits attractive characters and an interesting story but it uses an unnatural blend of comedy and tragedy. It's still a good pick for Williams fans.
