Movie Reviews of Benny and Joon
Movie Review: Benny & Joon
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truly an enjoyable, delightful and charming romantic comedy. Johnny Depp brings the essence of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin into this film through his character, Sam and does it in such a delightful and totally funny way. His use of his eyes to express thoughts and feelings without words is also fun to watch. Aidan Quinn and Mary Stuart Masterson turn in beautiful performances and the supporting cast is equally good and fun to watch. I love this film and recommend it highly. After watching the film, I thought how nice it would be if we all had a Sam in our lives.Movie Review: Having a Boo Radley moment 5 Stars
Probaby one of the best lines in this zany story about how love, even when it's not perfect "is". Johnny Depp is amazing with his pure ability to constantly charm. The rest of the cast suits him well.Other good lines..
"You're out of your "It's not my tree"
"They're both named Steven one w/ a v and one with ph"
"I want to HELP" (holding up help wanted sign)
Get the movie, blend some peanut butter and Captain Crunch, wear a snorkle and

Movie Review: 3 cheers for Benny & Joon
Summary: 5 Stars
Having a brother who is very much like Joon, I could relate to the movie first hand. All these people want is a REAL life and to live each day as best they can like anyone else. They want what most people want...to love and be loved. Beening faced with the decision of weather or not to put my brother in a "group home" the movie hit a tender spot in my heart.The movie was even toned, not to much comedy and not to much on the sometimes darker side of living with a person with this illness.My 15 year old loved the movie and proclaims it to be one of her favorites.Movie Review: So Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a huge Johnny Depp fan. I loved him in Pirates of the Caribbean and Sleepy Hollow; but I like his older movies just as much (if not more).Benny and Joon could be called 'heart-warming' I suppose. I just think Johnny Depp did an excellent job (he was excellent at being extremely attractive, too). I love his obscure roles he played in the early 90s. I also like his bigger roles.
I also recommend Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Caribbean, Sleepy Hollow, From Hell, and, you know, all the other movies he's ever been in.
Cheerio.
Movie Review: THE REVIEW
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was hilarious. It's about a brother that wants to protect his mentally ill sister. Mary Stuart Masterson plays Joon, a very convincing mentally ill person. She is the perfect actress for the part. Aidan Quinn plays her brother, Benny. His show seems so natural and rock hard. Johnny depp plays Sam, a comic expert that is "won" by Joon in a poker game. After some time they fall in love to the disapointment of Benny. Johnny steals the movie with his funny proformance and facial expressions. It is the best movies of that year!
