Patch Adams (film)

1998 film by Tom Shadyac

Patch Adams is a 1998 American biographicalcomedy-drama film directed by Tom Shadyac and starring Robin Williams (in the title role), Monica Potter, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bob Gunton, Daniel London, and Peter Coyote. Set in the late 1960s and early 1970s, it is loosely based on the life story of medical doctor Hunter "Patch" Adams and the book Gesundheit: Good Health Is a Laughing Matter by Adams and Maureen Mylander. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, with criticism for the sentimentality and direction. It was a box-office success and grossed $202.3 million against a $50–90 million budget.

Plot

In 1969, Hunter "Patch" Adams, after developing suicidal thoughts, admits himself to a mental institution. There, he finds that using humor, rather than doctor-centered psychotherapy, better helps his fellow patients and provides him with a new purpose in life. Because of this, he wants to become a medical doctor and swiftly leaves the facility. Two years later, he enrolls at the Medical College of Vi

In terms of a colossal self-own, it’s hard to beat the awkward conclusion of Better Man, a musical biopic of Robbie Williams. Created by Michael Gracey, whose The Greatest Showman proved to be something of a cinematic phenomenon, Better Man is an altogether different proposition, a pop-music story with teeth, hard-R swearing, poison pen-portraits of still-living performers, and a bitter narrative told from the point of view of Williams, played by a CGI monkey. That latter element is either a masterstroke or a problem depending on how you look at it, but the real issue is that this story of finding your own individual voice ends with a song by Williams called Forbidden Road, which was submitted for the Oscars. It was briskly rejected by the Academy for ‘incorporating material from another song’ ie Jim Croce’s I Got A Name. Ending a film about discovering your own talent with a song that turns out to be lifted without credit from someone else’s work isn’t a great look for anyone, even a self-promoting bad-boy like Robbie Williams…

Robbie Williams: 'I’ve been a cheeky monkey all my life'

NEW YORK (AP) — It was after one particularly emotional premiere of the new biopic about his life that Robbie Williams resolved he couldn't be “the crying guy” at every screening.

“Better Man,” which chronicles the life of Williams, the British pop star and former Take That singer, can hit him differently at different times. Jet lag is a factor. So is who's in the building. One screening with his band, he says, was “healing.” But he's self-conscious enough about all the emotion that he can be defensive about it.

“In real life I don’t cry that much,” Williams says and then smiles. “You have a (expletive) biography about you and have the world go, ‘I’ve seen you and heard you’ and come tell me how you deal with it.'”

One twist? The Williams heard in “Better Man” is Williams, himself. But the Williams seen in the movie is a computer-generated chimpanzee. Michael Gracey, who directed the 2017 musical hit “The Greatest Showman,” had the novel idea that Williams should get the big-screen biopic treatment, but with a monkey. Re
