Summary: Definatly The Don!
Review: Let me begin by sayin how good it was to see Brando hadn`t lost his directions to the bakery.This enjoable tale spans the life of a perhaps eccentric, nevertheless, attractive and highly sexually active Juan De Marco, who may or may not be the embodiment of the original caractor - Don Juan. Its set in a mental institution, but has no walls of confinement, for, the story hurls us across Mexico and ships us into an Arabian paradise of beautifull women and adventures in sex. Depp reels you in and makes you become him. The romantic settings and wonderfull music inspire you to be him. The whole package is well crafted. Music from Kamen & Adams, and an array of familiar faces and names make this the perfect movie for a happy couple. This may just be the movie that lured me out of the monogamous shell I was hiding in. The movie that inspired a poet to become he who is now known as Don Andreas. This left me wanting to believe, regardless of how silly some of the story sometimes became. I could almost (with exception to his, lets say, overacting sexual history), relate to him. If you have any trouble talking to the opposite sex, if you have ever been stuck for a pick-up line, if you are not the most confident of Casanovas... watch this movie. However, if you watch this movie and still have trouble from a romantic point of view, imediately visit a doctor. He`ll most likely discover that you have no sexual organs. Watch Don Juan, do as he does, fail/succeed, you`ve done what you should have done and watched a great movie, so it cant be all bad.

Summary: Celebration of differences
Review: This is a wonderful movie. I could say only that and leave it, I suppose. But then how would one know what it is? Well....This tale of a man who is convinced (and, may I add, very convincing) that he is the greatest lover in the world is tender, sexy, richly woven, and has a very good-name cast, including both Faye Dunaway and Marlon Brando along with Johnny Depp as the title character. Depp is wonderful as the lover, making him a mental patient, yet at the same time making us want to believe him, want to believe in a world wherein there is magic, love, and chances for both dreaming and finding a man who might understand you. This film has been written off as a "women's movie" because of this fact, yet it is a feel-good little gem which will have evn the most hardened feminist wishing that she, too, could know this man--for there is no degradation of women, only celebration, and this perhaps could be the sum of the whole movie: a celebration of life. Do see it-- you won't regret it. We only regret what we don't do. Enjoy.

Summary: Depp is Don Juan de Marco
Review: What a surprising movie! My wife suggested this film and, frankly, I thought I would not really enjoy it. I was very pleasantly surprised. Johnny Depp is wonderful as Don Juan de Marco (if that is indeed who he is). Brando, while at times appearing to falling into his Vito Corleone impression, is also very good. I see flashes of the old Marlon in his role here. I miss him and wish he were more active in film today. The story is simple, yet mesmerizing. I found myself engrossed in Don Juan's stories and wanting them to go on forever. If ever there was a film that shows what a good story teller can do to an audience, this is it. The DVD is a nice package, with both full-frame and widescreen formats on the same side. The scene index has a nice feature, in that you can see a preview of each scene or go directly to the scene. Not a lot of extras on the disc, but the price is right.

Summary: In a class of its own
Review: To say that this is a film about falling in love may be a little trite. To say that it is a film you can fall in love with might, on the other hand, be an understatement. A very beautiful piece of cinema with which we can hardly be less enthralled than the gutsy, overweight old softy, portrayed by Marlon Brando. The concept is wonderful: through the wonders of psychiatry we retrace the symbolic steps of this master lover as he is obliged to kill his father's murderer and escape from Mexico, only be to captured and sold into slavery, whence a harem awaits... Though it may be taking place in the mind of a man who has been committed to an institution after threatening suicide (in the most dramatic and honourable way one can think of, short of actual hari-kari), we nevertheless fall in love with this perfect, blameless lover and traipse along happily in his footsteps. As does Brando, the psychiatrist who cannot quite be sure, like us, the viewers, that it isn't all perfectly true. And in the end, one way or another, it is. This is a delightful film, to be compared with what I wonder...? It's really in a class of its own.

Summary: One thousand, five hundred, and two. <Stars.>
Review: Yess, that many. Those who have seen this film will know where the number came from, and also many of the women will sympathize with me when I say if only it were real--and I were the 1503rd one. I've seen it twice already, and just saw it a couple nights ago at a fantastic party--6 girls--Needless to say, we did not sleep hardly. Anyhow. Johnny Depp's performance in this gem is completely beliveable, seductive, and stunning. SEE IT--and enjoy.

Summary: Thumbs Up
Review: This is a charming film, that didn't get the attention it should have because people expect Marlon Brando and Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway to appear in dark movies playing brooding characters--not in a movie that is funny and touching. That they all acted so well in this movie--a change of pace for all of them--shows what talented actors the three of them are. The script is smart and sweet, and the theme song is the first Bryan Adams song I've ever kind of liked. And I love, love, love the ending of the movie: totaly unbelievable...but somehow totally believable!

Summary: Slightly disappointed
Review: As usual, Depp turns in a wonderful performance as Dun Juan. Unfortunately, I felt that Brando was just stumbling along as he has in all of his recent performances (Dr. Moreau anyone?). Despite this, the movie makes a good case for love and the outlook that all men should have. It matters little whether Depp's character really is physically Don Juan, because he shows that he IS Don Juan in spirit and that everyone has a bit of that spirit within.

Summary: I still don't know the true story, and I love it!
Review: This is the story of a classic lover who shows an aging psychiatrist, through careing and imagination, how full and beautiful the world really is. It delves into the meanings of life and love and for me it defines many of the important characteristics of a great lover. When the Don Juan explains how 'each of his lovers was truely among the most beautiful women in the world, even though some may say that this one the nose is too big and that one the breasts are too small, etc.' I was able to see how and why my own vision of people around me needed to expand. This is another case of Brando showing why he gets the big bucks for every performance and led me back to some older Brando movies I hadn't seen. I own this movie on VHS and now having seen it on DVD is marvelous.

Summary: A tantalizing love story.
Review: The acting is exceptional, the sound track on the DVD is crisp and clear; but the emotional state that your female partner is left in is ecstatic. Watch this movie with a significant other in a private room, the movie is seductive enough on its own.
