Review of Patch Adams

Patch Adams (1998)
1/10
The worst movie I've seen all year
2 January 1999
If you took every Robin Williams movie ever made and threw them all into a blender, this horrible mishmash of treacly sentiment and overwrought melodrama is what you'd get. The plot points made no sense, the theme was flawed, and the score -- the score! -- I thought I'd never hear a score as overblown and ridiculously flowery as the one in "Legends of the Fall", but Patch Adams' really takes the cake. Need tears? We've got violins! Need laughter? We've got piccolos! If this movie becomes successful, I will completely lose faith in American society. Does that sound like hyperbole? Perhaps. But so did the entire movie. I shouldn't have paid $.05 to see this piece of trash, much less $8.00.
