Patch Adams

Patch Adams (1998) is a biographical comedy-drama directed by Tom Shadyac — watch online on iFILM with Robin Williams in the lead role. A Universal Pictures release that earned over $200 million worldwide. Hunter Adams checks himself into a psychiatric clinic in the late 1960s, then walks out and enrolls in medical school with one unconventional conviction: a laugh does more for a patient than a clipboard full of charts ever will.

Dean Walcott (Bob Gunton) has Adams in his sights from the first week — too loud, too disruptive, too human. Meanwhile Adams quietly builds an off-campus clinic with classmates Carin (Monica Potter) and Truman (Daniel London), treating patients the way he thinks they deserve to be treated: as people. Philip Seymour Hoffman plays his pragmatic roommate Mitch, a sharp counterweight who makes every argument sharper.

The film draws on the real life of Dr. Hunter Campbell Adams, a physician who still practices wearing a red nose today. Stream Patch Adams (1998) full movie online on iFILM.
