Reseñas (3)
Uno de los pocos filmes que me llevó a lágrimas grandes y prolongadas, y arraigó en mí el deseo de estudiar medicina y trabajar en una clínica dirigida por un doctor interpretado por Robin Williams. También fue la primera vez que noté a Monica Potter, quien también me llamó la atención en la secuela Libre como el viento.

Sometimes deeply moving and at others too brutally manipulative. The lighthearted mood suited me fully until about two-thirds of the way through, and even though I knew that if it had kept it up until the end, Patch Adams wouldn't have had a memorable conclusion to rely on, I still would have liked that more than the painful and unexpected twist. Because of it, I probably wouldn't watch this movie again. If you want to cry like I did, you can't miss it.

Even though it's quite sentimental at times, I just enjoyed this. Robin Williams demonstrates that he can beautifully blend the comedic and dramatic aspects, and in his case, it simply works perfectly. Yes, at times it’s overly sentimental, sometimes unnecessarily unbelievable, but also a beautiful story about a man who just wanted to help.
