Rating:  - Sweet Little Movie
I really enjoyed watching this. The quirky characters, and love story make it a sweet movie. Well worth watching.
Rating: - Benny and Joon
This is one you can buy without having previously seen it and never be sorry you did. Of course, Mr. Depp's performance is the highlight but he and Mary Stuart Masterson are a good pair. Funny, tender, witty. Tell your friends.
Rating:  - Well-acted little gem
Like many, I'm a huge fan of Johnny Depp. And I would argue that his performance as a quirky performer of physical comedy is one of his best. Plus, it is a performance that works very well in a movie with so much oddity and sweetness.
Overall, I would call this a romantic comedy. But it goes deeper than that, beyond the usual boy-meets-girl to the heart-breaking story of a brother and sister who cannot let each other go even when each has found his/her soulmate.
The acting is stellar (not just Depp's!) and this is a story that should be appreciated for its sincerity and warmth and the courage to tackle the issue of mental illness while still keeping this a comedy.
Well-done, all around.
Rating:  - Good movie, not so great dvd
I received my order in good time. I also enjoyed the movie. You can't go wrong with old-school Johnny Depp films. With that said, I have to mention that the dvd would occasionally freeze up while it was changing chapters. It wouldn't skip, but it was rather annoying for it to freeze up like that for several seconds. It probably has to do with the manufacturing quality. The dvd I received was probably an older one, because newer dvds aren't supposed to freeze up like that when they change chapters.
Rating: - Ten Star Movie
This is a ten star movie. Johnny Depp is amazing leaving you wanting more.
