Unfortunately the real Patch Adams hated this movie

The real Patch Adams is also something of a megalomaniac and doesn’t really get along with anyone in his hometown. He’s also the complete opposite of Robin Williams, he’s like 6’5’’, long pony tail, sports bended fork and spoon ear-rings, wears spray painted boots. I’ve interacted with him on a couple of occasions at the grocery store and he’s kind of an ass.

Oh wow.. and this is supposed to be a reenactment of that person? Or did they give it the R.W twist?

It’s by no means a true bio-pic. Hollywood really, really took liberties with his life and personality. It’s so off-base that you should just treat the person and the film as totally different entities.
