    Not an Enema Bulb

    The object on William's nose in *Patch Adams* is part of an ear wax removing system. Giving an enema with something that size would take all day. I also think the movie better than average and Mr. Williams did rather well in the part of Patch Adams (who resembles Dick Van Dyke more in terms of body type). I wouldn't classify the movie a comedy, but more a drama with comedic moments.

    —Steve Stapleton
