Isn't this like one of the most notable critical flops of Robin Williams's career tho? Like are people really rushing to defend his character?

Not OP but this is actually news to me

I never saw the movie but I just assumed it was beloved for some reason

Yeah, same. Maybe it was one of those movies that was originally a flop, but got notoriety later on?

Although apparently it was also very inaccurate.

Most of RW's films were critical flops, they're just lovingly remembered because kids who loved his movies in the 90s are adults viewing their memories of them through nostalgia goggles.

It was probably about 50/50, really, but anything schmaltzier than Dead Poets' Society tended to flop. I'd say more people focus on the good stuff in retrospect than pretend that Toys was a masterpiece. The nostalgia goggles might come out for things like Hook and Jumanji, but they're the kind of movies that are loved in spite of themselves. Alas, no children love Patch Adams.

I liked Toys. It's silly, but I liked it.

Lots of people do. But it's not hard to see why it was panned by the critics.
