Benny & Joon Customer Reviews (40 - 42 of 55 Reviews)

The best movie
When you have a member of your family with autistic spectrum disorder or Asperger Syndrome all about this movie makes sense. I have seen my son in both Depp and Masterson. Sam and Joon are like some high functioning autistics and I saw my son in their behavior. I really recommend this movie to all of you who have special child among you.

Good
This is good for all ages and it's an excellent story and a fun movie you'll watch again and again. It has a beautiful superobjective, and an overall friendy ambiance. Excellent!

Whimsical Romantic Comedy
This movie was filmed in my hometown in Washington state. I got to see part of it being filmed. The diner in the film, where Julianne Moore works, is my brother in law's. So, needless to say, this interesting film hits close to our hearts. In the film, Johnny Depp stars as an eccentric character who goes to live with Benny(Aidan Quinn), and his mentally unstable sister Joon(Mary Stuart Masterson). You see, Benny lost a poker game and had to take Sam(Depp)in. That part is a little hokey. The two eccentric characters of Sam and Joon click and start a secretive relationship. They don't want big brother Benny to find out. There are a few delightful moments of whimsical silliness that makes this movie quite charming. Depp showcases his brilliant talent for physical comedy. His Buster Keaton routine is priceless. His Chaplin shtick in the diner is a classic. By the way, the jukebox in the diner was a prop. It's not ours. Masterson is quite effective as Joon. They are both very believeable. Aidan Quinn is solid as the overprotective brother Benny. A good performance. Dan Hedaya and CCH Pounder also star. The movie was directed by Jeremiah Chechick, who also did "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". This is a sweet little movie with a sweet little story. Might want to check it out.
