“Syrupy performances and directing make this dramedy all too obvious.”

Only inspires me to steer clear of both hospitals and any movie that casts Robin Williams as a lovable clown.

Like too many of Mr. Williams's recent movies, Patch Adams wastes the genius of a peerless clown.

Comics who want to do Hamlet often end up, as here, serving big, sticky slices of ham.

Patch Adams does serve as a platform for Williams to do what he does best: evoke laughter and wring tears. Even when the movie flatlines, Williams keeps the beat.
