Johnny Depp (Sleepy Hollow), Mary Stuart Masterson (Bed of Roses) and Aidan Quinn (Practical Magic) star in this wonderfully unique and delightfully offbeat romantic comedy. Joon (Masterson) is a little unbalanced. Sometimes, without warning, her sweet nature gives wayto odd behaviorincluding a penchant for setting fires! She lives with her older brother Benny (Quinn), who has spent his life taking care of her since their parents died. One night, while playing in a poker game with unusual stakes, Joon loses her hand...and wins Sam (Depp), a whimsical misfit who soon charms his way into Joon's heart. Now if they can only find the perfect mate for her overprotective brother.... With charm, humor and an outstanding supporting cast that includes Oliver Platt (A Time to Kill) and Julianne Moore (Hannibal), Benny & Joon is the perfect movie for everyone.

Summary: Excellent movie.
Comment: I purchased this as a gift for an 18 year old girl. While I still enjoy the movie at 45 she's watched it about 5 or 6 times and still loves it. It's funny, clean, with a good story line.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: I love this movie! The deleted scenes are okay. I would have liked them better if the director wasn't talking about them as they played, but oh well. I'm not too bummed about that. Definitely a feel good movie. I haven't heard the commentary yet, but I will be watching it.

Summary: Benny & Joon
Comment: 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.

Summary: Sweet Little Movie

Summary: Benny and Joon
Comment: This is one you can buy without having previously seen it and never be sorry you did. Of course, Mr. Depp's performance is the highlight but he and Mary Stuart Masterson are a good pair. Funny, tender, witty. Tell your friends.
