Patch Adams/What Dreams May Come Double Feature (DVD)

Oscar winner Robin Williams stars in two emotional dramas that feature a touch of the actor`s trademark sense of humor.

PATCH ADAMS: Tom Shadyac`s (ACE VENTURA) film tells the true story of Hunter "Patch" Adams (Robin Williams), an aspiring doctor in the 1970`s who attempted to treat his patients with a medicine that modern science had totally disregarded: humor. After a stint in a mental hospital where he discovers his need to help others, a young Patch enters medical school.

There he splashes though clouds and gobs of technicolor paint in breathtaking landscapes suggested to him by Annie`s paintings. From there, to grandiose Romanesque cities of flying children, Chris and his old dog are met by a gorgeous stewardess, who reveals herself as a nearly forgotten face from his past.
