Treat the Patient, Not just the Disease

Advantages: There are alot of lessons in life to be learn't from watching this film
Disadvantages: That back in the 60's and early 70's Patch wasn't taken seriously

...is about a man called Patch Adams who is struggling to find his place in life. After suffering many bouts of depression he tries to commit suicide and is sent to a mental hospital. His stay in the mental hospital however turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. But it wasn't the doctors that helped him to feel better. It was the patients that helped him. By him helping them he found that he could forget about his own problems. This ...
...friends, but enemies. You see Patch also wanted to be a clown and so he knows how to make people laugh. Patch believes that laughter is a form of medicine, and realises that he can be a clown and a doctor at the same time.

Patch isn't supposed to have any contact with his patients until Year 3 - but breaks those rules and sneaks into the hospital as he believes he can learn more about medicine though patient contact and learning more ... more

A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down

Advantages: Robin Williams doing what he does best
Disadvantages: Maybe a little to sugar coated in places

...opening section where we see Patch enter the mental institution it manages to provide some brilliant jokes, such as when Patch is being interviewed by a psychiatrist and realising that he is not being listened to just starts taking the mickey out of the nonsense questions. It is also brilliant to watch the writers use one of the patient’s illnesses as a joke without feeling like they were being derogatory to the person; in fact they turn the situation ...
...the film is all about Patch and so mainly focuses on his character, but supporting Williams are some brilliant performances from the likes of Daniel London as his best friend Truman Schiff and Philip Seymour Hoffman as a fellow medical student who pours scorn on Patch’s wild antics. There is also a thoroughly enjoyable but small performance from Michael Jeter as a mental patient who Patch helps conquers his fear of invisible squirrels. When I realised ...

"I love you without knowing how..."

Advantages: Can make you cry
Disadvantages: Can make you cry again!

...I saw the film Patch Adams all the way through not so long ago. I felt I had to watch it because I saw the end of it ages ago once and it really intrigued me! Patch Adams is based on a true story, and I can say that this is one of the films that made me laugh and made me cry… The Story: (out in 1998) At the start of the film, we see Hunter Adams on his way to a mental institute to commit himself after a failed suicide attempt and being depressed. ...
...here he got his nickname Patch (but I won't tell you how) and realised that he wanted to be a doctor to help people, like he was able to do in the institute, so after insulting his own doctor and telling him he sucks, Patch heads off to the University of Virginia medical school to achieve his ambition. It is here Patch made his allies, and his enemies. He disagreed with Dean Walcott's speech on how "we're going to ruthlessly drain the humanity out ...

It will make you laugh and cry

Advantages: A heart warming, yet truthful story
Disadvantages: A little bit sad

...man - Throughout his stay Patch meets many people, who even though on the outside people would think they were crazy he learnt to look beyond that problem and see the person beneath. So, after helping the squirrel fearing room mate to pee (watch the movie), Patch decides he wants to be a doctor. He enrols as a mature student in medical school, and after the Dean’s opening speech, Patch is non too impressed - especially with the fact that they ...
...white coat on? Finally, Patch gets to do what he loves - spend time with patients, making their dreams come true - making them laugh. The main theme behind the movie is Patch's struggle to help break down the hierarchical structure that exists within the medical profession - Fighting as the patient's advocate at all time. Patch’s methods of caring are frowned upon by some, and so Patch decides to set up his own hospital, with both wonderful ...

A film that tugs at the heartstrings.

Advantages: You won't know whether to laugh or cry
Disadvantages: You might run out of kleenex

...award winner; Robin Williams is Patch Adams. An inspirational doctor who is a bit out of the ordinary, who believes that the best medicine is laughter and that doctor's should look past the disease at the patient. The film is a heart-warming comedy based on a true story and I can guarantee you will go through a series of emotions; you’ll be laughing crying and most of all smiling! Hunter Adams is a doctor with a difference, he himself has ...
...to enhance the patients healing Patch Adams introduces the idea to the medical profession that they should treat the patients not the disease. He knows that in hospital people suffer from loneliness, boredom and most of all fear and medicine cannot treat this only a friendly face can. He gains all this knowledge from his own experiences and he is determined to put it into practice. Starring alongside Williams are actors such as Monica Potter who ...

A sad sentimental comedy.

Advantages: Great comedy and touching compassion
Disadvantages: Perhaps not funny enough for Robin Williams fans.

...sentimental and sad. Patch Adams is one of life’s drifters. Although he is essentially a genius, his lack of direction and depressions has left him in a mental hospital. After being released he embarks on a journey of discovery. He decides he wants to become a doctor and so begins to work in a hospital. He soon finds that he excels at medical studies much to the chagrin of other students who have to work hard. Patch Adams is a man who does ...
...a tragic love story as Patch Adams woes a beautiful woman, wins her and tragically loses her. Without giving too much of the plot away, the movie will make you laugh (at Patch’s antics) cry (at the futility and despair, and also at the sad twist to the story), the story will inspire you, not only because of Patch’s determination but also because of the strength of the dying in the face of adversity. I found the comedy to be very humble, ...

Review of Patch Adams (DVD)

Dire Evil Nest

Advantages: Gratuitous
Disadvantages: Not gratuitous enough

. It makes it kind of like a poorer “X-Men” in that it’s based on a well-loved concept but uses its time to set up a potentially killer sequel. I for one hope they get around to a second instalment – I didn’t hate the movie, it’s just patchier than a patchwork quilt made by Patch Adams in a cabbage patch. At the cinema it’s unremarkable – on DVD you can flash forward to the good parts. And on video, you can tape over it with The Simpsons 'Treehouse of Horror' specials. Now THAT’S good zombie action! “Take that Einstein!” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Things I learned from watching this movie: · Crack military units ain’t what they used to be. · Zombies only appear on their own if they’re related to the person they’re about to try and eat. · Flesh getting caught ...

Review of Resident Evil (DVD)

Collectors Edition

Advantages: Entertaining
Disadvantages: Not at all special

's nothing wrong with getting away from the serious and analytical side of movies for a bit to enjoy one. My main complaint was that while the marketing (and title) would have one believing the Mummy itself is the center of the movie, half the film is over before the characters are introduced to it, and, perhaps I've just been too watered down by the walking pile of bandages typical of present day adaptions, but the the character just didn't give off the same distant feeling I associate with a Mummy. It had a personality and speech, and became more and more human throughout the film. Now to take a look at the DVD itself. This movie will be released in two packages. Unlike Patch Adams, both the Pan & Scan and Widescreen package will contain all the special features. This is a real duel of aspect ratios, we'll see which one wins out. The version ...
