2. A...why are you watching a movie on Bravo?

Honestly Bravo and AMC do nothing but take a hatchet to otherwise great films...

And B: Everyone is entailed to their opinions of movies no matter how awful Patch Adams really is I understand it does appeal to a certain type of viewer. The kind of veiwer who also likes Pretty Woman and Mr Holland's Opus...

In the spirit of unity I will not use the shorthand for such a viewer

4. I did not like Pretty Woman at all.

But there is alot to Patch Adams that is very very deep for me.

Its one of my favorites.

Favorite line.
"I once drew a picture of a rabbit, got me two gold stars"


It reminds me of a friend also, so there is that also.

3. Is that the film where he plays the sympathetically unorthodox genius character?

:evilgrin:

5. Yea he is a doctor

That made the decision after a trying time, to become a doctor. And he fights against the ideas of emotional distance from the patients, he believed being a doctor was also connecting with patients.

To be fair, that does put an extra burden on doctors, but the gist is a sort of mind and heart comment. Has a few twist and turns, and some comedy.

Its really good though.

:) If you play real close attention they even show a few angels in the show :)
