I liked Patch Adams. My favorite part in the movie was that part where he'd blow up the rubber glove like it was a balloon
Robin Williams was admittedly the only good thing about the Patch Adams movie, and glad Patch legit likes him. But it's the writers/producers fault and not the actor. Another thing that was offensive was that Adams' wife dies in the movie despite her still being alive to this day. And there were complaints that it mocked the death of a male friend he had.

His “love interest” was actually a male best friend who tragically was murdered! Not only did they have him be a female love interest but gave her a sexually abused childhood! What the hell? Why write that in there??? And not only that they have him practice medicine without a license and there’s scenes of him stealing supplies at the hospital and that never happened either! He takes his job seriously and professionally. I can see why he didn’t like it! The only good thing is the performances!
Another dishonorable mention Nina (2016) A biopic about Nina Simone (incredible musician and civil rights activist) portrayed by Zoe Saldana. The film was heavily panned by critics (2% on Rotten Tomatoes) audiences ($22.584 against a $7 million budget) and, of course, Simone’s family. They called Zoe Saldana horribly miscast and the makeup used on her atrocious with a boring story to match. She has since regretted being part of the film saying this following statement: "I should have never played Nina. I should have done everything in my power, with the leverage that I had 10 years ago [was] a different leverage but it was leverage nonetheless. I should have tried everything in my power to cast a Black woman to play an exceptionally perfect Black woman."

Hollywood: I want to win an Oscar from your suffering. Give me your life so I can win a statue and respect from old people
At least Winnie Mandela praised J. Hud's portrayal of her. Total respect.
It hugely disappoints me that The Blind Side depicted Michael in a negative light and I feel bad for him yet I love the movie and instead of looking at it as fact I'll see it as a movie that at least spreads awareness to help others because no matter what it at least has that strong message behind it. :)

The reason Lil Kim was poorly portrayed is because she rejected the offer to give her side and input of what happened, so all they could do was use second hand accounts and fill in the blank logic. She has no one to blame but herself that it wasn't accurate.

Tina Hutchence, the sister of Michael Hutchence, criticized the movie, "Never Tear Us Apart," which was about INXS. She said the movie exaggerated her brother's womanizing and his emotional problems, and she said that the film portrayed the other band members as better than they really were. She felt they sold Michael out.

Lil Kim has certain identity issues brought on by being a victim of the colorism and misogynoir that run rampant in the Rap/Hip-Hop industry. Naturi did a great job with the material she was given. Lil Kim is just angry that they didn't get Christina Aguilera to play her.
