An oddball love story about a fey loner named Sam (Johnny Depp), who falls in love with the mentally unbalanced Joon (Mary Stuart Masterson), who lives in the care of her protective brother Benny (Aidan Quinn). This 1993 story is hard to swallow, with its message that love can conquer a brand of mental illness that manifests itself in pyromania: Joon has a bad habit of going a bit around the bend and setting fires, but Sam's tender care apparently has the cure for what ails her. Still, if you want proof that Depp has significant chops as a physical comedian, give this film a try: He does note-perfect renditions of slapstick routines made famous by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. --Marshall Fine

 Johnny Depp sparkles... June 2, 2009
L. Alper (Englewood CO)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Benny & Joon is a mediocre example of a typical made-for-TV-movie. Except for Johnny Depp.
The scenes without Mr. Depp, featuring Aidan Quinn & Mary Stuart Masterson in the title roles, tend to drag, despite the best efforts of the actors. When Depp comes into the scene, there's suddenly life. It's truly amazing.
Overall score for movie: C With Johnny Depp: B+

Great Movie Night Ever...Best Romantic Comedy March 31, 2009
Donna P. Orr (California)
I saw this movie years ago just after it came out. It was one of those sleeper movies that didn't get much press. I had to purchased it.. first on the VHS tapes and wore that out and had to buy it again on DVD. Had to have this classic in my movie collection. This film is so funny and will leave you with so many memorable memories that will stay with you for years to come. I recommed this movie to everyone who likes a good romatic comedy. Great acting by all. Enjoy......and laugh you hearts content.
A beautiful movie. March 12, 2009
K. Deese (Greensboro, NC)
For anybody that may feel they are one of the more awkward ones, this is a good kind of off beat kind of love story. It's a good one, definitely recommend buying this. I can't stop watching it. It's the movie I go to when I can't think of anything else to watch. Never fails to entertain.
