Patch Adams movie comments

Date: 2008-02-02 09:57:38 User: Daniel Chapman The film was great at making most doctors look like ruthless snobs who care more about their title than their patients. In reality, most doctors probably are not like this. "But it's based on a true story!" you say. Yes, BASED on a true story. Probably the fact that the dean and professors at Patch's school found his actions illegal is true, but that does not mean that all other humans were worms to them. The film should have focused more on Patch's endeavors to reach out to patients and less on the supposed "downfalls" of most doctors. More appropriate and true to how the system works would be to show the corruption in pharmaceutical companies and how their control effects the teachings at medical schools. They're the real culprits; the doctors are only a result of them. Besides that, the movie was pretty bad. It was very predictable and despite Williams excellent acting, a lot of the scenes seemed awkward and out of place. I would recommend seeing it if you like throwing up. It's sick to see another mediocre film that follows the same patterns of every other film and can't have a higher level of humor than funny faces and perverted jokes. Yeah, this one ranks up there with "Meet Joe Black." All the great cinematography wasted on a poorly developed story.   You have to register to leave a comment...   Back to the Patch Adams movie download page
