Benny & Joon

Summary: Amagical,moving,moviethatpeopleofallagesshouldsee!
Review: Enter the world of imagination through a guy's point of view, who sees the world in a whole new way. Meet Sam, (Jonny Depp). Been & Joon's new "cousin," Joon had got in the game of poker. They meet Sam, only they don't know that he's some what different from all of the rest of them. He's creative, and not afraid of anyone who messes with him. This movie, when I first watched, I thought of how wonderful these actors can play such moving characters. Especially Mary Stuart Masterson, and Johnny Depp. "Benny & Joon" is a movie for everyone. If you love Depp's movies, then you gotta see "Benny & Joon." Such another outstanding, successful, performance by all the characters in this movie. Wonderful! Wonderul! Wonderful!

Rating:
Summary: Overplayed and quite predictable
Review: Yes, Johnny Depp provides another great performance here, as does most of the cast. The story line is what drags this movie down. Beyond the slew of predictable lines and scenarios, I found the message of the film a bit shallow. "Love conquers all...including schizophrenia." It's just not life-like. Some of the imagery and allusions are heavy-handed at times. I wanted to scream, "OK, I get it." Not a terrible film, but not that great either. If you want to see a more compelling Depp film, see "What's Eating Gilbert Grape."

Summary: A wonderful "escape" movie ! Delightfully silly!
Review: This movie is fun ! fun ! fun ! Johnny Depp steals the show as a nonreader who has mastered the art of quirky entertaining. I've only seen it once, but in reading the reviews, I think I'll just have to see it again really soon. I really wish there were more movies out there that are as sweetly nutty!

Summary: Different perspectives are not a bad thing
Review: So many people seem to think that if someone sees the world differently, or skewed off from the accepted (i.e; "normal") idea of how it should be viewed , that that is a bad thing. This is not true. This story is one of the best to illustrate that. Joon is a mentally "imbalanced" woman who is taken care of by her brother, Benny. One day a new person comes into their lives, an odd young man named Sam (Johnny Depp; in one of his few comedy roles) who, by falling in love mutually with Joon, poses both a threat and a challenge to Benny, who up til then has had total control of his sister. He does not realize that Sam is anything more than a housekeeper until the unthinkable (to him) happens and he finds that Sam and Joon have, in falling in love, also had sex. He begins to lose control. I could tell more, but then there would be no incentive for you to see it. But I will say this: You won't be dissapoited if you see this movie, and if you watch it with an open frame of mind. Enjoy.

Summary: With an N?
Review: i think this movie was amazing, johnny depp's ability to execute the chaplinesque routines was amazing. Mary Stuart Masterson was enchanting. Johnny Dep was funny while not saying anything his facial features showed it all. This movie i believe was one of the best i have ever seen

Summary: WONDERFUL--tender, funny, sad, and romantic
Review: This is a great film. What more do I say! Well....It is one of the best films I've ever seen, and has replaced "Harold and Maude" as my favorite beat-the-odds romance. Johnny Depp's performance was absolutely AMAZING--and who knew he could do funny? Whoa. The chair scene was one of the best, no wait, the rolls dancing was. Don't ask--when you see it; you'll know. He is stunning both to look at and in the acting department; the world needs more of these people. Perhaps clonig was invented for a reason. Anyhow. The score was also great, and totally fitting--especially the 500 miles one. I hope you see this movie; its' wonderful. Enjoy.

Rating:
Summary: Cute and cuddly romantic comedy.
Review: Benny & Joon may have an improbable story line, but Depp and Masterson's performances have the finesse to carry it off. Depp is adorable as the odd but lovable Sam, who has a Buster Keaton fixation. This film is definately enjoyable.

Summary: A great movie for a dateless night!
Review: This is a great curl-up with bag of popcorn when your all alone movie. Sam (Jonny Depp) is just about irresistible. Every woman can see a little of them selves in this movie and every woman would love to have a guy like Sam around to clean house, make dinner, and then turn in to Jonny Depp and take you to bed.
