Meet Patch Adams (Academy Award-winner Robin Williams), a doctor who doesn't look, act or think like any doctor you've met before. Before entering the world of medicine, Patch was a troubled man who checked himself into a mental institute for several years. While there, he found he enjoyed helping his fellow patients, which inspired him to leave the clinic and pursue his career. For Patch, humor is the best medicine, and he's willing to do almost anything to make his patients laugh - even if it means risking his own career. This fact-based film combines side-splitting humor with an inspiring story that transcends the traditional comedy.

5 stars. David had never seen this before so I made sure to put it on our Netflix so we could watch it. What a great and touching show.
