Don Juan DeMarco Customer Reviews (37 - 39 of 53 Reviews)

A must-see for all the romantic at heart.
A mildly, spontaneously entertaining romantic comedy about a passion-obssesed young man John (as always, a splendid Johnny Depp) who suffered from the breaking up of family and the rejection of his first love attempt. Marlon Brando plays psychiatrist Dr. Mickler who voluntarily took on the young patient's case as a bet on his last 10 days of service in the mental institution. Equally romantic at heart but caught in the thin line between reality and fantasy, Mickler uncovered his true passion as he went on spending more time with this fantastic John who believed he should be the son of once Spain's nobleman aka Don Juan DeMarco the greatest lover in the world. Like the end of the show and what Dr. Mickler had in mind, you will given in the helplessly romantic dream that land yourself in the soft, warm beach of Eros and realise the lover you want to spend your entire life with.

DON JUAN DEMARCO is definitely Depp's best at his dashing good look and accented speech on screen in 20 years. Brando is effortlessly charming, at this age he proves to be a long live Hollywood legend.

"Every woman is a mystery to be solved"
Damn right! Anyway, this movie I like purely for Johnny Depp. Cos what else is there to watch it for? Marlon Brando, who you need subtitles for just to understand him? I don't think so! The storyline is a pile of nonsense, especially when 'Don Juan' is actually in the mental hospital. The flashbacks are reasonably OK, and Johnny Depp is funny, but Marlon Brando?! And apparently, Johnny would only do this role if Marlon Brando was in it. Why was that exactly? Here's me thinking he had more taste than that.

I think I've seen this movie once before when I taped it off the TV. I watched it, thought it was OK, and all the good bits stayed with me. Then I forgot about it, grew up (ahem) and got it on DVD. Big mistake. I kinda have to keep it for a while, as it was a birthday present, until my mum (obviously, who else) forgets she gave me it for my birthday.

I don't know whether everyone else has a different DVD to me, but mine has NOTHING on it. Very disappointing. I mean, never mind I LOVE trailers on my DVDs, this didn't have a trailer, not even a scene selection! Shocking. Mind you, I did think this was a good DVD at one point.

Best bits of this movie? Johnny with his top off and wearing eyeliner (hmmmm, he does that again in Pirates of the Caribbean - another rubbish film, but he's great in it). Worst bits? Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway. I'm all for people staying together, and keeping the relationship alive, but Marlon Brando?

Don Juan Would Be Proud
This movie put me in a relaxed and loving mood. I don't know whether it was the story, or the acting, or the combination of both. Johnny Depp plays yet another unorthadox character, almost as if he knows that nobody can do these roles except for him. He plays Don Juan with a confidence that is unmatched by most actors today. At first the way Don Juan speaks is annoying, but after enough time one gets use to it.

Marlon Brando plays Dr. Mickler, a pyschologist who is 2 weeks away from retirement. That is until Don Juan shows up. In the beginning Mickler believes that "Don Juan" is a delusionist that needs help. But after spending time with him, he starts to change his mind. The stories that Don Juan tell to Dr. Mickler start to affect his marriage (in a good way).

Don Juan DeMarco isn't the greatest movie in the world. It's not even the greatest romantic comedy. However, it still works its magic on you somehow. For anybody looking for a quirky movie rent or buy this film.
