Product Description

 
Small-town mechanic Benny (Aidan Quinn, LEGENDS OF THE FALL) is perhaps a tad overprotective of his mentally ill artist sister, Juniper "Joon" Pearl (Mary Stuart Masterson of FRIED GREEN TOMATOES), but that's only because he's completely devoted to her well-being. When Benny loses a poker game and is forced to take in a friend's eccentric houseguest--a droll, dyslexic oddball (Johnny Depp) who goes by the name of Sam and models himself after silent-film star Buster Keaton--Joon finds herself falling into a romance unbeknownst to her brother. Benny does eventually find out, though, and both siblings must come to terms with their changing relationship. BENNY & JOON, a must-see for Depp fans, is chockful of whimsy and affection. This charming romantic comedy co-stars Julianne Moore and William H. Macy in early film roles.

A Wonderfully Eccentric RomCom

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: One of the best, and nicest, romantic comedies ever to hit the silver screen.
Review: Benny & Joon is a very sweet romantic comedy starring not only the brilliant and famous Johnny Depp but also the supremely talented though far less well-known actress Mary Stuart Masterson. Add in Aidan Quinn and Juliette Moore, throw in William H...

Benny and Joon - When Special Needs Children Grow Up

Date of Review:  Apr 6, 2009
The Bottom Line: Would have rated this higher except the fairy-tale Hollywood ending really doesn't seem to fit with what happens in the film.
Review: Not every film has to blow things up or have laugh out loud, absurd comedy.  Sometimes, a film that’s sweet and poignant can tough your heart in a way you didn’t expect.  In this day and age where so many parents have children with special needs,...

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: An okay movie, though it didn?t fulfill its potential.
Review: For me this was one of those movies you just never got around to seeing, even though you thought you might enjoy it. Perhaps I waited too long, since I wasn't as impressed as I'd hoped I'd be.
