A spoonful of schmaltz makes the medicine go down, at least when Robin Williams is on call. Williams' hokey Patch Adams debuted on tape at No. 2 last week, renting an average of 45 copies per store -- the exact tally that Williams' hokey What Dreams May Come racked up when it hit video back in March. Meanwhile, the Will Smith conspiracy thriller Enemy of the State held on to the No. 1 spot for a second week, and the critically acclaimed thriller A Simple Plan -- which grossed a modest $16.3 million at the box office -- debuted at a jiggy No. 8.
