Benny & Joon Customer Reviews (43 - 45 of 55 Reviews)

Very Good
This is a very good movie. It gives insights into what it is to be mentally challenged in a tough world. Johnny Depp's character is brilliant.

Johnny Depp shines in this touching romance
"Benny and Joon" is the moving story of Benny (Aidan Quinn) and Joon (Mary Stuart Mastersen) Pearl, a brother and sister who have lived together for twelve years since their parents died. Joon suffers from mental illness, though throughout the movie there are scenes where she is profoundly sane.
Perhaps the most moving and surprising performance is Johnny Depp, whose dyslexic and extremely talented Sam brings light to Benny and Joon's sad life. Depp is amazing as he performs his Charlie Chaplinesque slapstick, eyes twinkling. But what makes his character even more enduring is that he loves Joon no matter how sick she may be. He wants her to get better and be free from the watchful eye of her over-protective brother.

Depp's Sam proves that laughter is the best medicine. Watching this film will make you fall in love (or in my case, more in love!) with Johnny and it is a must-buy for anyone who enjoys pure romantic comedy at its lovliest.

Very Sweet
An enjoyable movie. Good acting, funny plot, and great characters. I thoroughly recommend this movie, especially to Johnny Depp fans.
